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

[InVOLuntary]

I got a bottle of Stagg for Christmas but haven't opened it yet. Looking forward to trying it.

It's similar to the EH Taylor IMO. I think the Stagg drinks a little hotter than the EHT even though they are similar proofs.

Then I'm really going to like it.

I got a bottle of Stagg and a bottle of George T. Stagg.

Which one to start with?

 

[DD4ME]

Bourbon- Elijah Craig for budget
Various Woodford levels for the rest

 

[NorCalVol67]

In San Diego and found McKenna 10. I never see that. Picked up a couple of bottles.

I've not had the GTS. The stagg is good.

That's just wrong.

I have no idea how she does it. If there’s a good bottle of bourbon in Houston, she knows about it.

It’s always matter of price. Saw one in Memphis this week but store wanted $3k.

Yup. I know a store less than 5 minutes from me that has Weller Single Barrel and Weller CYPB collecting dust on the shelf because of the price.

While I'm sure that's true, I don't think that is my wife's secret. She spent about a dozen years building a relationship with store managers and owners. It's really just been about the last 2 years that she started getting some of the really hard to find stuff.

As it should be.

GTS is the best bourbon ever… imo. Stagg is hotter than EHT small batch but better.

 

[GVF]

Working on a budget bottle of Tullamore Dew Rum Cask. Pretty nice finishing kick to an otherwise light daily sipper.

It's the best I've ever had. I could never justify that price, though!

 

[txbo]

Wife found a really rare find.
I've actually never had this one.

$175 is cost on it

It's not for sale, KY. It was a gift from my wife. I've been looking for this for years.

I will ask her if she can find another bottle. If she does, I'll have her pick it up for you.

Haha. Good luck finding some for that. The person I know with a bottle paid $1000 for his.

You can't even find Stagg Jr for $175.

Txbo has a knack for finding the tricky buys...at least in cigars!
