I never participated in this BOTM because I couldn´t get hold of a 350 ml bottle.

More the fool me, as I discovered when I sampled it at a hotel bar in Stockholm this wednesday.

A charming...

Somewhat shame-faced, I have to admit that I have never tried this bourbon. All the details I´ve gotten over the years seem to scream out loud: too old! Well, too old for my tastes, at least.

I...

Dixie Dew and JW Corn are extremely invisible brands. You can´t find much about them on the Internet, either.

Are they only sold in the deep South?

Absolutely! I´ve had one bottle of this and it is sorely missed.

I had no idea that it was discontinued but that may well explain my futile efforts in securing another bottle.

To me, not only...

OK, thanks for that interesting info. "Single-tree barrels" sounds intriguing. I gather that is an experiment that has yet to see the light of day?

The level of char for each brand, is that info...

Does this differ between each BT single barrel brand or do you mean haphazard variations?

Absolutely! Please note also that each whiskey can differ dramatically in behaviour from the other. A diversity that, in my view, only adds to the excitement.

You´re getting it, Nick. :)

Seriously, I was talking exclusively about the nose. Does swirling change the taste also? I don´t know. To be honest, I have never even thought about that.

Irrespective of expression, I´ve never had a Blanton´s that has been less than wonderful.

Sad to say, the 93 proof, who´s long been a staple here in Sweden, is no longer available. As a...

Whether swirling the glass actually improves matters or not, is a difficult thing to say.

What I know for sure is that it changes things. In my experience, certain characteristics come to the...

Good question!

I ain´t even gonna try to explain how I pronounced it. It probably would have left both English- and Frenchspeaking people dumbfounded. :grin:

Agreed, but if you would take the time to go through my posts, you would find that, if my memory doesn´t betray me, I haven´t written one single word about Old Pogue or the Pogues, neither in...

Just a little facetiousness on my part, Joe.

I have to admit, though, that some of the members here display a curious, sort of, the-customer-is-always-wrong mentality, which I find a bit odd.

Judging by some of the posts here, I draw the conclusion that if the people behind a certain enterprise are deemed to be nice and have a lot of middle men to pay, then we should refrain from...

Dan,

Go for Booker´s.

I know many people here in Sweden with the same whisky preferences as your girlfriend´s dad and Booker´s almost always go down well.

Also, if you can get it with the...

You obviously plan to keep this thread going for a long time? ;)

No offence taken. I have PM:ed Leif.

Smoother than MM!? I think you´re in trouble! :grin:

Having said that, I have to admit that my latest bottle of MM red was unusually non-smooth (in a positive sense), so maybe the character of it...

Wow! Can you tell us more about this item, Leif?

In what way does it differ from other FR releases?

There´s a new European version of FRSB, by the way. It´s 100 proof but the same type of...

Cheers, Gary, to an inspiring post!

I´d hoped to add my own musings this weekend but my local liquor store only had the 700 ml in stock. I bottled out, so to speak, and instead asked them to...

No problem, Gary! You just had me a little intrigued for awhile. :)

Incidentally, I really dig the FR home page. Not only do they list all their products, they also clearly state where each...

I have never heard of a green label Four Roses. Who mentioned that, Gary? A store in Canada?

Welcome to the forum, Ivo! If you´re not already familiar with their existence, Whiskykoning is a good...

Good choice!

At last I have a valid excuse for buying a bottle. It was quite awhile ago.

At least here in Sweden, they come in 350 ml bottles, as well, which in cases like these, comes quite...

Try just a small sip and then enter 'smack mode'. You will find that it´s both spicy and minty.

I agree, though, that on the basis of my recently acquired bottle, the finish is shorter than of...

Well, Dale, you could always join my against-the-grain crew. :grin:

I got my new bottle last week and, in certain aspects, it was even better than I remembered it from last time.

The nose as...

What I used to react mostly to, when people here thrashed MM, was the complaints about its high price. This was not the case here in Sweden. Even with our draconian high taxes on hard liquor, I found...
