I always take two bottles and it’s one of my special occasion or drink to a late friend whiskey.

Looking to try something new, any recommendations.

Quarter horse is good.

Me and another forum member DWB had Lagavulin 18 years for the first time on Friday night.
It was plenty good especially after a very good big rump steak we had.

Tried this on a trip to Lexington recently. An excellent bourbon IMO.

And you didn’t say hi???

Kidding, but glad you got to try some good bourbon while passing through.

+1 on @Backyardsniper recommendation for their Rye. It’s better than their bourbon.

I recently bought a cheese board made from a wine barrel section, nice idea as nothing rolls off. It had a hint of a great smell and I decided to accentuate it with a tot of Dalmore and coffee beans, too delicious an aromoma for words.

Just cracked into a bottle of American Honey; AWESOME! Anyone who adulterates it with anything else (ice, water, ginger ale, coke etc.) needs their cojones removed; smooth, sweet!!

Ok, time for a new entry:

I went to two distilleries a week ago: Heaven Hill and Barton (1792). Well sorta. Barton is closed to visitors, so we hit up “My Old Kentucky Home” which offers 1792 tastings on the down low.

Both were awesome to visit, but the private tasting / old fashioned mixing put 1792 over Heaven Hill.

As for whiskies purchased, well I didn’t get bourbon because it was half off Scotch (whisky) at my whisky joint. These were my two selections:

The Ardmore is reminiscent of a english pudding soaked in whisky (with a small peat note). The Bunnahabhain is a peat bomb that would kill the uninitiated.

Bunnahabhain is one of my favorites!

We did 1792 and Willett a few years ago while in Bardstown.

1792 was much more "industrial" because tours seemed to be an afterthought. I do remember the guide taking a sample of white dog directly from the proof box and passing it around. One sip will open the sinuses. There was an older Russian lady on the tour and she had no problem taking a big gulp of it!

Willett was more down home because it is a family-run operation.

This should be fun as the temps drop…
