Whisky, bourbon or scotch and what's your favorite?

[kiddiedoc]

Hey, as a doctor... is whiskey/bourbon good for you medically? is it good for a cold/flu/C-19? I only ask because I've stayed well stocked of these items along with Vitamin C/D/zinc and have dodged C-19 and the common flu the past few years.

Is Jack Daniels the cure for C-19?

I don't know of any conclusive evidence that they have medicinal properties, other than some studies linking moderate wine consumption to decreased CV disease (and even these could include some confounding variables). Obviously, alcohol is a sedative and depressant, so it could provide short-term symptom relief, but potentially withdrawal effects/hangover/sleep disturbance long-term.

I finally found one of these locally. I'm fairly impressed but it won't replace my Highland Park 12 or 18 as my favorite. View attachment 528617

I'll always throw a like to a Highland Park fan!

I've always wanted to try Bunnahabhain but somehow never have gotten to it.

Picked up a HP12 in the Viking bottle at y'all's recommendation to sip over a movie tonight. Huge fan!

Where Did All the Bargain Bourbon Go? Blame the Whiskey Mania

It's a shame. I used to be able to get Blanton's for $40 and cypb for $80. Was in a store today buying some beer and they had cypb on the top shelf behind the counter for $700

I find Chattanooga Whiskey quite enjoyable.

There is a Louisiana rice-based whiskey, J.T. Melleck. Not bad a-tall.

I find Chattanooga Whiskey quite enjoyable.

I like the 111. Of their first distillate, that's my favorite of the two.

The Bunna is an interesting bottle. It's a little more peaty than HP but won't blow your socks off like an Ardbeg or Laphroaig. I'll pick up another bottle if I don't need more HP and the Bunna is available.

111 is my favorite of their offerings.

111 is my favorite of their offerings.

One of my favorite things about whiskey and bourbon is how unique the bottles are, and Chattanooga 111 is a beauty.

Ever had Blood Oath? It’s a bourbon that’s finished in Caribbean rum barrels, but it’s off the market now. I have a friend who let me try a shot, and it was the best sipping alcohol I’ve ever had.

111 is my favorite of their offerings.

I like both Chattanooga's 91 and 111 offerings.

If you are ever in Chattanooga and looking for something to do - book a Chattanooga Whiskey tour. It is a lot of fun and good folks.

Jefferson Reserve in the Rum Cask is delicious!!

You ever had the double oak?

 

[GTBATV]

You ever had the double oak?

I have not. I've had this and their rye. Back in the day OF 1910 and Woodford were the only double oaks around. But I know they are popular now. I had a twin oak Jefferson the other day that was good. I've also been liking this double oak rye for a while now.

Saw this on a best Bourbon to try under $50.00. It's actually only $35.00 and was quite good. Not as good as the $60 Old Elk Wheated, but a good sip that I'm sure will stand up to some pricey drinks. I went by the store to pick the RR10, but he was out and I ended up with this.


Also saw a bottle of Old Ezra 7 on the shelf for $108. I had some Old Exra some 35 years ago at a party and didn't really know anything about whiskey except that I hated JD at the time. And didn't really drink whiskey at all. But, I never forgot those two shots, or that name. If todays OE7 is the same OE from back then, Old Elk Wheated would be one of the few I've tried that is as smooth as that OE was.

The Carribbean Rum finish is Pact 5 or their 2019 release. The Pact 8 from this year I think is around $135, so if you are only talking about the juice then there are much better options at that price or below. That being said, it is different every year, somewhat hard to find, and a very approachable 98 proof. So a good buy just to have something rare/limited.
