Sometimes one drinks what’s available and lives to regret it anyway….there are days it all goes down too easily!

I was introduced to Noah’s Mill on a hunt in South Georgia. At one hundred and fourteen proof, it benefits from a little water, but what a fine whisky!

You would truly enjoy diving into the Kavalan (Taiwan) offerings.
A bit spendy...but so are English Doubles
Stock up before the word gets out.
You'll thank me

enjoying a couple of fingers of Prideful Goat 12 year rye tonight.. found it by chance at a local liquor store and thought I'd give it a try.. its a very nice, smooth whiskey with brown sugar notes on the front and something like a light baking spice on the finish... will definitely buy this again...

Now, after about three bottles in, I can say the old elk double wheat has become my favorite whiskey

Not a fan of bourbon or Tennessee whiskey.
I do like most highland or Speyside. Glendronach 15, Craigalliche 13, Old Pulteney 18 and Cigar Malt.

You must sample more 3 bottles is not a statistically significant sample size

It is 107 proof and to be clear…all three bottles weren’t in one night. LolYou must sample more 3 bottles is not a statistically significant sample size

I don’t try to influence anyone. I know what I like, Wild Turkey 100 proof bourbon and Johnny Walker double Black. Works for me.

Been quite a journey of late, but @Frederik and I have been taste testing and experimenting a bit.
Both with a good Whiskys and cigars.
My top favorites are definately:
Lagvulin 16
Talisker 10
& Smokehead that @RockSlinger404 mentioned before, albeit that I haven't had it recently.
But one thing is certain, they all taste better in good company!
I believe our taste test lineup consists of:
Three Ships 10jr (Local peaty version)
Ardberg Wee Beasty
Bowmore 12

Tasting will commence afternoon of 11 April with 10 year Talisker in the mix just to compare.
It's our pre BASA day shoot ritual it seems. 12th April will be full of recoil and fun after good cigar and drink. Obviously we will also have a fire going and put some meat on.
@DWB try and be here on time !!!
@saswart this is a formal invitation.
You mean in one drinking session.Otherwise newbie alcoholic behaviour

This is a terrible sight if you love bourbon. Kentucky River flooding the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Gift shop is swamped. I predict EH Taylor will issue a select bottle, immediately going for $5000 on the secondary market.

Nelson County is also flooded, luckily most of the distilleries there are on high ground except for Jim Beam’s plant over by Boston.No!!!! Things are bad enough already. I was even planning my first trip out there this summer.

Noah’s Mill is my new go to. I hope this doesn’t disrupt that supply!
