I went out looking for the Balvenie 14 yr Caribbean cask and came home with this...

so far I am digging it.

GD12 is much better. Save that extra Hamilton.

George Dickel is great. Good choice.

I think I'm ready to become a whiskey enthusiast. I'm considering making it a new years resolution.

A great decision. You're going to have a fantastic time in 2014, I can feel it.

I think whiskey tastes rough ridin' awful.

Headed to the liquor store later to get my BWW drink of choice. What should I get? Something newer.

May have already been mentioned in this thread, but I picked up a bottle of the Darkhorse Rye(distilled in Lenexa!) as a Xmas gift to myself. Finally opened it up last night and found it pretty tasty and smoother than I expected

Actually bet a Michigan grad who works here a bottle of that for the BWW. I had to give 2.5 though.

Nothing washes down your Dinty Moore better than JW Blue

I think it's an LG. We are at the parent's house.

i retract my previous statement. now that my palate has matured thanks to my new years resolution, the barrel select is at least a full hamilton better

I tried out 12 year Auchentoshan. It was definitely the sweetest scotch I've ever had.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #317 on:** December 28, 2013, 12:28:43 PM »

The Weller 12 year is as good as they say it is and a value to boot. I am going between that and Breck Bourbon.

Someone gave me Johnnie Walker Black and it tastes like soap. Awful. Would be interested to try the not cheap stuff

Stevesie60 · « **Reply #318 on:** December 28, 2013, 12:31:07 PM »

I've heard Black is worse than Red. Also, just saw Johnnie Walker Platinum. I can only assume it's similar to Bud Light Platinum?

I'll be at level 7 by kickoff tonight. I've been saving this for a special occasion.

Bloodfart · « **Reply #320 on:** December 29, 2013, 01:29:14 AM »

Went Bulleit Bourbon then Wellers then Canadian Mist... best binge evar!

fledgling whiskey enthusiast here with a question: do you guys just truck through a bottle before moving on to the next one, or do you open multiple bottles to sip whatever tickles your fancy? If the latter, do you take any steps to preserve the open bottle?

An open bottle never lasts long around my place.

I usually have anywhere between 10-15 open bottles at any given time and a few more unopened bottles. These are all currently open bottles that I'm working on.

are you the guy with the shitty deck? if so, your kitchen tile backsplash is about infinity times better looking. i mean, that is a good looking backsplash.
