Ted Kennedy calls Chivas, “...that life-sustaining liquid.”
He could be right[for once].
And you can have all the Lagavulin.
That's what makes horse races.
Makers Mark was my favorite bourbon, btw, until I ran across Woodford Reserve. I gave my dad a bottle, and he likes it too!
Compton MacKenzie alert!
I’d go for The Black Douglas or The Famous Grouse, or even Teachers (although that’s a shade too mild), over either Johnnie Walker any day
Notice I said almost. Even Teddy can't totally ruin a good thing.
You betcha! ;-P
Good luck with the Elijah. The burnt cask taste almost comes across as a liqueur flavor. As mentioned, price-wise it’s my go-to, but it’s also my favorite bourbon.
I’ll be picking up another bottle tomorrow. They don’t carry it here in town, so I pick it up when I go into Sycamore on the weekends. They have a marvelous liquor store with just about anything imaginable.
A Rube Goldberg invention that actually does something for Mankind, peace on earth and green energy.
Or something.
Cool. Very cool. In every sense of the word.
Amen to that -- especially the 15-yr-old (when I can afford it). Never had the 30 or cask-strength, though.
17 year Dalwhinie. Need I say more...
When my father passed away in 2007, he had a bottle of 10 year old tequilla (that had been 10 years before being bottled...)
He was saving it for the day I told him I would give him a grandchild. Alas, he left before I could give him the good news.
So, on the night before the funeral, I opened the bottle of the tequilla, and sent around the bottle, for all of those who wished to partake, in honor of the man known as Dad.
I didn't - I'm a meanie on Tequilla - but many a family member toasted him that day.
I just double-checked and noticed that you are not on my Bourbon Ping list?
Dja want on?
Sure. I remember when you suggested it; I thought I pinged back, but I must not have.
That's a truer statement to me than you realize. Laphroig is so peaty it tastes almost medicinal!
I'm more partial to Lagavulin. Nectar of the gods.
Try Redbreast Irish pot still whiskey. Wonderful stuff.
ROTFLMAO!
Nope. Just what it tastes like to me.
I’m lucky, I prefer Highland Mist, one of the cheapest blends.
I’ll have to try it. Don’t know that I’ve seen it around here.
