A lot of this has to do with taxes and how they are figured as well.

I had one of these last night and was quite impressed. Great citrus hop forward summer IPA with substantial abv of 7.3% to back it up. This will be...

So it would seem! Although he wasn't perhaps as clear about it as he could have been since he translates "Sin an doigh Ileach" as "It's the Islay...

Jim I think it has something to do with the dilution math from back when 100 proof Bourbon was sold by the gallon/quart or some fractions thereof.

Islay is the name of the island Ileach is a person from Islay

WT still has a 86.6 proof it's just an export only now.

I wandered off with one as well!

Good Day Milt and welcome from Michigan. Best regards, Tony

Met up with Callmeox and Deansheen in Cleveland and knocked down several Great Lakes Brewing offerings at a few bars and the Tribe game. Burning...

WT did have an 86.6 proof expression. Isn't Angels' Envy also 86.6? There are Scotches at that proof as well. You've got me curious - why 86.6?

Yeah, it said that before, and also didn't list Pappy 15 (still doesn't... but again, somebody told me he "has too much" so not buying it for now) ...

The BIB is fantastic. I've yet to try the 114 but it's on my list. I just found a place that sells the 114 for around $20, so I may pick up a...

I remember hearing or reading an interview with JVW where he said distillers (himself included) often picked odd proof numbers just to stand out a...

That's a good question. I'm pretty sure that Wild Turkey used to have an 86.6 also (before it dropped to 80). I'd have to go back and watch the...

Interesting that in the video just before he says "eye-luh" he reads the Gaelic version of the name off the tin (spelled "Ileach"!) which he...

I think the decisions on proof come down from management and the master distiller has to do the best with that number. I think a lot of times...

You may have spoke to soon. He now has on the site that he will buy your rye. Ugh!

Who knows, could be those tricky Woodland Elves again.

What I was saying is the basic whisky is fine it's the distillery efforts to improve it with finishing that have produced lackluster results.

Welcome aboard milt, perhaps some of our members may have a suggestion where you can shop.

Welcome fellow Hoosier. The good folks here will be more than happy to guide you on your journey. Have fun! I have no idea where to find the...

Joined you watching the USMNT w a pour of "the Blend".
