really like those in barrel strength (~120 proof). my recommendation is wellington from south africa. not a whiskey - a brandy, actually - but tastes like a whiskey!

and who of you is an ass man

First time out this year bow hunting, bourbon, rye and scotch. On these important occasions don’t take any chances.

Hmmm, Angel’s Envy, that’s some good stuff right there!

Yes, it had the shortest lifespan after getting its corked pulled.

I can understand that. It should have been on my list of go to’s. It is the first thing I buy if I can’t find buffalo trace.

I am a Roses Single Barrel man myself…also for you wine drinkers out there I have not tasted a better red than Mieome Pinot Noir for the price. Red wine at dinner Roses by the fire as a night cap and for telling hunting lies. Lol!!’

So I picked up a bottle of Woodford Reserve in the end. No particular reason for grabbing that one over any of the other recomendations other than liking the look of the bottle.

Somehow some Dalwhinnie snuck into my basket as well, but I think I'm ok with that!

I'll give the Woodford a try next weekend.

Good choice with the Woodford... It's my current favorite. Plus, my wife doesn't care for it, so I don't have to share.... And the square bottles are kind of cool

As a youngster with two friends similar stupid we finished together a bottle lukewarm Black & White, sitting in a park in the German Black Forest, using plastic cups. We were sick for days, still want to vomit when smelling Whisky.

Two very good choices. Love the Dalwhinnie 15 year old, one of my favourite.

I can relate to that, had it with Jägermeister, did not drink that stuff for years. But when I got my hunting license I met my nemesis again. Be it in much less quantities...

Not crazy about the big peat flavor. Now a couple of ounces of Macallan 18 and I am a gentle, happy soul.

That is my go to smooth and rich. That and it wont break the bank.

Just a relaxing day by the pool.

EC Barrel Proof is one of my favorites. It’s tough to find in my neck of the woods, but it is so full of flavor!

I had no idea there was a whiskey appreciation thread on here. I have found a new home. Ha ha
For this year's deer camp I made a duck fat and fat 2ashed old fashioned with a simple syrup I made from tangerines and brown sugar. It was a little lost on some of the crowd. Ha ha.
I live in West KY so we generally have pretty good access to some of the harder to find bourbons.

 

[geoff rath]

Found a really smooth Irish, with a lovely bocquet: Teeling Small Batch.
Also have indirect contact with the families involved in the McCoy-Hatfield ??? whisky wars through a F/B contact in W V.
I wanna emigrate to W V, finances permitting ...

Somehow that auto corrected what it was typing. It was a duck fat/bacon fat washed. I used some cheaper stuff added the duck fat and bacon fat and let it sit 4 hours at room temp then put in freezer for 12 hours. The fat freezes and you remove it. I then ran it through a coffee filter just for good measure. Added the tangerine simple syrup a touch of sour cherry and some bitters. It was a pretty decent drink. The alcohol strips the alcohol soluble flavors from the fat so when you take the fat out it is still left with a subtle flavor of the fat you used. Since orange and cherry goes well with both pork and duck and also with whiskey it seemed like a good combo to try and the old fashioned was the obvious route to go with that.

Or you could just eat some bacon and take a shot of Jim Beam.

That is also an acceptable alternative. Ha ha
