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

[kiddiedoc]

And?

I think it is very good. It's hard to believe it's that young. I get a cool, funky red licorice/ cold medicine flavor mid way, but I'm not the most refined of palettes due to my loss of smell. I would say it is a great value compared to the crazy price hikes on KY bourbons.

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.

Cool. I also sampled “Boss Hog” 8 and 9, which go for about $600. They weren’t as good as Blood Oath. Definitely not worth $600.

I find the Boss Hog series quite tasty. Boss Hog VII: Magellan's Atlantic is as nice of a rye as I've ever had.

Kentucky Owl Takumi Edition, $110

A collaboration between Kentucky Owl and the Nagahama Distillery in Japan. It’s a blend of 4, 5, 6 and 13 year old bourbons which showcases Kentucky bourbon through the eyes of Japanese whiskey distillers

It’s a caramel-y and well-rounded

Oh, and it is snowing in Denver

Definitely worth the $60. I love the toasted sugar maple flavor.

I tried it last night for the first time and was pleasantly surprised, given the number of negative reviews I had seen. I'll spring for a bottle next time I'm out.

That was my first bottle and was surprised as well. Next time I have an occasion to celebrate I might try the 22. Maybe it's not as overpriced as what some say it is.

It really does strike an interesting note where I can taste a Dickel/JD maple sweetness AND a Kentucky Buffalo trace-style lineage.

When your PCP puts away enough to know distillery lineage in a whiskey...lol.

That's a cool looking place. Mind sharing where that is?

Thanks for the compliment. We built an off‐grid glamping site at the back of one of our properties here in Wayne County Ga. We built 2 tents and put in a deck beneath a large oak tree where we grill, watch ball games and hangout by the firepit. We also put in a solar powered deep well with the solar panels also charging batteries during the day to run the lights etc at night. My wife and I got the inspiration from Undercanvass Glamping. One of our small life goals is to stay at every Undercanvas and we said hey, we have the land, why not use it as a little get away.

Very cool. Would love to do that on our property one day.

I was gifted a bottle of Old Ezra 15 Year Sippin Whiskey. Im not familiar with it and didn’t come across many helpful resources online. Anyone able to provide insights, taste complaints, etc?

Cheers.

I've only had the 7 yr barrel proof and it was good to me. Pretty sweet up front, good finish.

THat's what I've been looking for. Old Ezra in the wood box. all I could remember about it visually. I had some a really long time ago when I was not a whisky fan at all, and drank next to nothing in general. What I do remember was da**, that's whisky? Been trying to find it for a long time, but probably couldn't afford it. The 7 year is $108, so you got a heck of a gift. Granted, my taste of this was some 30 years ago, but not having a interest in sipping whisky then, I recall it being quite smooth. It's somewhat a rare find these days. It's mostly bottled for Japanese export.

What’s the verdict on Sweetens Cove?

What’s the verdict on Sweetens Cove?

I've only had the Kennessee and was honestly pleasantly surprised.

 

[VolinWayne]

What’s the verdict on Sweetens Cove?

I'd definitely recommend a bottle. I would like to try the 22 Release next time I have a reason to splurge.

 

[GTBATV]

I purchased a bottle of sweetens cove when it first came out just for the support and to have it on my shelf. I've only had a few pours out of it. Dickel is just not my flavor profile.

 

[kiddiedoc]

This could easily be $50-60

Man, I've probably had it for 25 years. It's one of a few very special ones to me. I'll shoot a couple others in a minute

Been hitting Nelsons "Green Brier" whiskey for the past few months. Good stuff.
