Any whiskey drinkers?

[Blitty]

Boys, I don’t if you realize how mainstream whiskeys becoming.

-Great Smokey is #1 visited National national park

-Gatlinburg is main town there. The main touristy attraction was sampling moonshine at the store by the Ripleys believe it or not and other stupid shit

-5 .5oz samples of gross flavored moonshine was $7 and there were hoards lining up for it

Whiskey's been mainstream for quite a while. Gen X and Millenials are hugh whiskey drinkers.

Yeah so overhyped now. These pricks want $90 for colonel Taylor now.

Underwhelmed by this one I bought today, boys.

 

[Blitty]

Interesting. Most people like it, and I was looking forward to try. Maybe I’ll wait now.


Currently enjoying Wild Turkey Rare breed.

You tried it, tron?

 

[Blitty]

Just noticed the Woodford is 90 proof.

Think I mainly want to stick to over 100 at this point.

Cask strength is the shiz

I haven’t tried it yet, Blitty.

 

[reno cool]

speaking of, currently drinking

still consider it one of the very best 129.6 proof. $65 I paid

 

[Blitty]

Barrel Proof right?

Yeah there was a bunch of that around 6 months ago, then it all disappeared.

Delicious stuff. I was impressed.

 

[reno cool]

Yeah. I don't see it that often. Other one I never see anymore is 4roses barrel proof

 

[Blitty]

I got a 4RBP in my cellar.

looking forward to cracking that one.

I can get those aftermarket locally anytime

Went big last night with a customer who's become a buddy. I hurt this morning. Guy drank an entire Glenfiddich 12 in 8 hours while I had maybe 8oz total from my 5 bottles:

11yo Laphroaig 1998 finished in Petrus casks
Ardbeg Uigeadail
Lagavulin Distillers Edition
Dslmore Cigar Malt Reserve
Laphroaig PX Cask

 

[Blitty]

Nice!

What were you doing for 8 hours?

 

[Tron]

Playing guitars, making guitar videos and fishing behind the house. I caught an off-season bass. 🎣

The Double Oaked Woodford Reserve is so unremarkable that we went out and bought this. I don’t know if it’s just a new label (we’ve bought this before with the original label 5 or 6 times) or if it has different ingredients



But the label is definitely different. Tastes the same as far as I can tell.

This is made at the distillery I happened to stumble upon in Gardiner, NY almost a year ago.

 

[reno cool]

ah yes I saw that. That's that baby(?) bottle one you like right?
Was wondering why they would change it to an uglier label
