GWG8541 My Goodness. All mine are empty just about, that is the only problem. Then you say this is only part of the equation.
calldoctoday I’ve heard about some defective bottles that product disappears from. That could be your issue!

GWG8541 It looks like your taste buds have some searching to do. With that lineup, it all depends if you want wheated or rye bourbon, sour mash or drinkable whiskey. Have tried and have all in view except the Roland. Have fun letting your taste buds go on a search for “what’s next?”.

zbigjeff Well, I stayed with a local one tonight. If you haven’t tried it, Sycamore is an Ohio distillery near Cincinnati. I picked up a bottle of their 10 year American whiskey, just to support a Buckeye business and was pleasantly surprised. I also picked up their bourbon, but prefer the 10 year.

GWG8541 I live in Ohio and never saw that one. Will see if they have it up north. Side note: The Wathen’s was recommended/picked up 2 years ago and was also a good pour. It doesn’t have to be expensive to be good.

I myself think it is important not to discriminate agents and spirit and accepting every one of them as they come.
uncowboy I agree, some of the better bourbon and whiskeys I’ve had, were some of the least expensive. I just finished a Dickel single barrel and it was awesome.

Well my bourbon of choice at the present time is Long Branch by Wild Turkey. Rye whiskey is Dad’s Hat Rye finished in vermouth barrels. Have taken a liking to Pio Caesare wine, have been using this berbarra wine to ferment sausages. My son bought me a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue Scotch, its nice and smooth sipping but at $280 a bottle, I won’t pour it down the sink but I have had other lesser cost Scotch that is just as smooth.

I am not one of those guys with a sophisticated scotch palate, but scotch is my whisky of choice.
When I retired, a few of my wonderful co-workers gave me a bottle of JW Blue as a retirement gift.
It is definitely one of the smoother whiskies I have sampled.

Picked this up today. Had to give it a try.
Hmm. Not overly impressed.

PapaSop Thanks for the info. I’ll file it away in the buy much later category.

PapaSop I’ve not heard great reviews for the price, especially the stuff aged at sea.

Tex_77 I will say the small batch is better than the barged ocean blend. Have had the small batch 3-4 times from different batches and the issue was consistency. But, the majority were a good pour and one was eh! I have found that the 4-5 other purchases of Jefferson’s blended bottles were much better. Maybe that’s why they make so many different types. Keep pouring and tasting. Also, I would say that the ocean barge price is not worth it around here for around $80.

Pardon the messy countertop. Between shifts at the fire department and I need to get this started before the Oranges go bad.
Last year I made a mango wine after they went on sale and I had this idea to make a mango and blood orange blended wine. Of course, the blood orange season had already come and gone, so here I am. I used a 4-1 mix of blood oranges to Cara Cara oranges with the boys contributing one of their clementines that I couldn’t turn down even if I wanted to. It’s fermenting in my kitchen for the next 4 days, sitting on all the pulp from the juice and the zest from about 1/3 of them. It should finish out at close to 20% ABV which will officially be my highest alcohol content wine so far. In fact, I am starting to worry that because of the high alcohol content it might not be as good as I envision it. But I might not care either… Maybe I’ll post updates if it doesn’t suck…

But, what the heck. It’s an experiment in “what if”. Something positive always arrives when you least expect it. Who the heck knows. Good luck with your science experiment.

GWG8541 Wishing one of those Irish coffees was waiting for me after venturing back in the blowing snow from bowling. Also love the Tullamore Dew. But, finished that around 2 weeks ago. Maybe tomorrow morning one of those will be made with one of my Jameson’s finished in either a stout or ipa barrel while watching the snow blow around outside. Thanks for the push.
