.....made the mistake of tasting it - something like a Copenhagen spit cup...'

Would that be original or long cut?

I like Laphroig. Although a buddy of mine smelled it and said it was like campho-phenique.

Did a bottle of this on my last trip to booze clues. It's muy bien...

Specs had Makers Mark on sale. Never tried before. Sweet and thick falling off to a light warm oak flavor.

It's ok. I'd go with a medium cigar. Nothing dark but nothing blonde. Middle

I like MM, it's a good everyday drink, very much like WL Weller 90, in fact hard to tell the difference. Its not my choice for serious drinking which is not quantity but quality. There I have several I like WL Weller 107 proof one of my all time favs and there are several others, all in the high proofs with my 107 Weller being the lowest .

Now my serious drinking is a shot n half shot glass, cigar, relaxed and strictly drinking for the taste. A nice eve would be a Churchill, high proof whiskey (bottle and shot glass in the freezer) drank straight up in small sips allowing it to roll down you across your tongue and down the throat in other to taste all the flavors high proof and longer aging brings to the table.

All my whiskey drinking is done from a frozen bottle and or over ice only. I have not drank mixed since my college days back in the 60's...

Wrong thread. Whisky, not whiskey.

Personally, I prefer the following:
- Knob Creek
- Makers Mark Cask Strength
- Chivas 12

I will take a pass on the Chivas, but pour me a shot of everything else...

I’ve liked TX whiskey recently
My boss last Christmas bought me a bottle hadn’t heard of it before that time.

Found a Father's Day gift I'd forgotten about.

I actually like this better than my normal Glenlivit.

View attachment 144000

Finished off the 15, and found another Father's Day gift, a bottle of 12. Not quite as smooth as the 15, but still good.

I'm kind of digging the Glenfiddich. I think I may have a new go-to for scotch.

Been drinking Angel's Envy Finished Rye since I stumbled across it a few weeks ago. Vaulted the brand into my top 3 (joining Michter's and High West, displacing Templeton Rye).

 

[toddnjoyce]

If you’re a Rye drinker, Thomas Handy Sazerac is the best eye out there. Basil Hayden Dark Rye is fairly new and tasty as well, but is a little light on the finish for me.

 

[TheProphet]

I haven't had much in the way of Rye but I'll definitely give the Handy a try. I've always been a fan of the High West Double Rye.

 

[deemus]

The Colonel Taylor's rye is pretty good stuff. I've been working on a bottle of that.

Pack your wallet. If you find it, it ain’t cheap.

E. H. Taylor is a fine Buffalo Trace product line. If you get the chance, the four grain is unique and worth a try.

It's my first "bottled in bond" bottle.

 

[TheProphet]

Personally I'm a fan of the bottled in bond McKenna.

I’ve yet to taste. Since it’s not MGP, I’ll put it on the list.

 

[TheProphet]

MGP?

It's a good daily drinker IMO, and at a good price point. Was the first thing to go in the new flask my wife bought me for our anniversary. Not sure when I'd carry a flask since I'm always carrying a gun but she put a lot of thought into it.
