The Whiskey Thread

[Cire]

I like my whiskey with a splash of cottage cheese

normally I would say that whatever tastes good to you and gets you drunk, go for it.  but that sounds gross

I'll try a few things when it comes to whiskey. Whiskey and cottage cheese will not be among them.

Just picked up some Woodford's. How do you elite SOB's recommend I drink it? Rocks, coke, straight? TIA

[Stevesie60]

If you are debating drinking it with Coke then you don't deserve to drink it at all.

i had my first ever glass of blue label this weekend.  it was delicious.

let me know when you're ready to step up to the big boy scotch.

What is your everyday bourbon? I enjoy expensive bourbon as much anyone (some expensive stuff sucks, btw), but what is the best bang for the buck?

look at you two scotch hipsters. 

I recognize that it's overpriced, but it was still tasty scotch.

I don't think coke should be drank at all. Have you seen the stuff it can clean/eat away!? think of what that does to your insides! yikes

Just had a glass of Woodford with a couple ice cubes. crap's legit. Muchas gracias, amigos!

I used to really like bulleit for the price but it's gone up.  for sipping I would buy anything for under 25$ for a fifth.  My go to mixing whiskey is Canadian Club.

I agree.  Now was that so hard, PissClams?

[pissclams]

Just bought a bottle of Glenfiddich limited edition Cask of Dreams.  Only 3500 bottles made worldwide and only 20 distributed to the state of Kansas.  A fine addition to my collection!  I can't decide if I want to open it or not.

Also, Johnnie Walker blue is a good scotch but way overpriced.  Their 18 year old Gold is better.

Why would you not open it?  Does it continue to improve in taste or grow in value in an unopened bottle?

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

open that bottle up and i open you up, son. thats something you drink when barry o stops by your house. save it.

It won't improve in taste.  The maturity of Scotch stops when it is transferred from the barrel to the bottle.  It will improve in value some but it's only a $110 bottle and I didn't buy it for that reason.  The ones that really go up in value are much rarer and made up of older scotch. 

[pissclams]

so why wouldn't you open it?

i take this back. drink it, get a nicer bottle for when barry stops in.

[Mr Bread]

I totally get buying a drink that you don't know if you'll drink it ever.  Totally get you bro.  The pleasure is like in the having of it.  I possess you whisky, you are mine.

I have better bottles than this.  A lot of the rarer scotches you can't find in Kansas so I have them shipped from K&L Wines (klwines.com) in California. I live in Olathe and you cannot have liquor shipped to Kansas, so I have them shipped to a friend's house in Lee's Summit, MO.

I've been working on a bottle of Four Roses Small Batch that Demo158 gave me for my birthday. Is delish. Thanks, Demo.
