Its something you drink on a truly day, my everyday (I don't drink everyday) is Weller 107 Barrle Proof, high quality, decent price. Also a fan of Makers Mark in the higher proof.
Its the high proof stuff (90++) in whiskey that brings taste to the table.

This guy knows his stuff.
Buffalo Trace is really putting out some of the best whiskey on the planet at the moment.
Has anyone here heard of 40 Creek Whisky? I have not, but it came highly recommended. Made near Niagra Falls.
I saw a bottle on our way to the ranch. For the price I couldn't pass it up. Was very impressed and will buy again.
What proof is the 40 Creek?
Too smooth for my taste, as I grew older, the whiskey got stronger and tasted betterI believe it is 80 proof.

Being a Bourbon drinker for well over 50 years and watching my tastes change I will do my best to describe. High quality is smooth, drink some rot gut or 'bottom shelf' in the liquor stores and you will taste and feel the difference between smooth and harsh...its not just the proof. But as proof goes down its a lot lighter on the tongue. I can drink a high quality well made bourbon at 100+++ proof and the smooth is still there, but the flavors begin to integrate with th alky. It does slow down your drinking, you don't drink like a 7-11 slurpee. I do not know of anyone that drinks the high end whiskeys with anything other a a spot of water or a cube of ice. Its the flavor that is smooth and you allow it to roll across the tongue to get the many flavors it brings. Its very complex.Two of you have said this now. I do not understand what too smooth means.

Forgive my stubbornness, but I feel like I still don't have an answer to my question: what does it mean for a whiskey to be too smooth? People are coming on here and saying that 40 Creek is too smooth for them. Smooth is the opposite of nasty and harsh. But "too smooth" indicates a problem. Why is too smooth a problem?
