Any bourbon/scotch drinkers?

Reused image….

Ok, @Dave in KY ….sounds like a plan for a Friday evening. And yeah, I know, too much ice in that one. Don’t use quite so much now.

Wasn’t really ever a bourbon or whisky person, but several enablers over on the 30DC during the holidays….along with a trip to the store for wifey, and this came home too. The shot glass was a birthday gift.

 

4 Roses Single Barrel is a GREAT choice and always loved that glass of yours

 

This one was really good a bargain for $65, took 2 bottles at once because of limited number of bottles of 3200 to Sweden

Whisky this evening before eating dinner consisting of Elk stew.

My husband received a very nice gift from his oldest friend, this week. His pal Tommy sent him a bottle of Old Forrester Bourbon. They then scheduled a Zoom chat (we are in NY and his friend is in California) and raised a toast together. I tried a bit of the bourbon too. Very complex taste with strong notes of pepper & caramel.

 

Might want to avoid the bourbon before going out to the range.

 

Definitely. Arrows first; bourbon later.

 

Templeton Rye is nice in a Manhattan.

 

My small city rural Canadian liquor store gets in the odd case of different bourbons quite frequently (way more Canadian Ryes, obviously) and I got a bottle of Old Forrester recently as well. A bottle of Basil Hayden’s at the same time, too, as I can’t remember seeing either around here before. The Old Forrester is quite flavourful…the Hayden’s is very smooth, more like a high end Canadian Whisky- less flavourful than other bourbons in the same range, imho.

 

I’m just the opposite. I’ve tried hard to like Old Forester and for whatever reason, I get a metallic taste from it. Now Basil Hayden, mmmmmmm……..one of my favorites! Amazing how we all have different tastes. Drink up my friend!

 

So good!!!

One of my favorites.

 

Love this as well.

Since I don't go to bars anymore, and don't feel the need to make it seem like I know what I'm doing, I'm satisfied with Cutty Sark for the occasional drink at home.
There's really nothing "wrong" with it.

 

I was in Pigeon Forge last month, and picked up 4 bottles of Cyclone Jim for a friend, at the Old Forge Distillery. He swears it is some of the best he has had. It better be, for the price.

 

Good stuff Gary. That is one that I tend to keep on hand.
