They say different strokes for different folks, I'd rather have an EC 12 than a Weller and I'd rather have an EC 18 than a Pappy 15, but then, I'm an Islay lover.

While I, too, am a Glencairn fan. any tulip shaped glass will bring ou the nose well. To really amplify it, cover the glass with a lid (a poker chip works well), swirl it and inspect the legs, ...

I found a bottle in Little Rock and claimed possession. Unlike some folks on the site, I like Beam products. My comments: First, this isn't a true single barrel. Otherwise we'd have barrel...

I had a wine conneisuer fiend tell me years ago that anytime you pay more than $20 for a bottle of wine you're buying scarcity. the same thing applies to whisk(e)y today. Adjusted for infoation,...

With the help of my friend, Dale, I learned to like MM, however I agree that the M46 is a superior product...lets not debate price. I agree that Tony hit the nail on the head when he talked about...

I should have mentioned: I was touring the Cox Creek warehouses one day when they were pouring YL for export. It is shipped at cask strength and dilluted and bottled in Gernmany or Japan. I...

I'll join the ranks of the 4R lovers. and say this is great bourbon for the price. As Joe mentioned earlier, when PA had their sale he was nice enough to get me a case. As a summer time drink, try...

I always look for the DSP #. Anything with DSP 16 is going to be good. Sometimes you can find a date n the bottom of the bottle. One of the members posted a list of DSP nos. Maybe with some...

Welcome Josh,

The way you spell whisky, without the "e", and the fact that you admit to being a friend of TomH, lead me to believe you are a lover of the "dark side".

denec, welcome aboard. I used to say the main difference between bourbon and Listerine is that you can swallow bourbon. With a little experimenting and a lot of help from members of this board, I...

Kind of late to chime in now, but I'm surprised no one mentioned Four Roses. Good bourbon and you could tell them the neat story of its fall from grace when Seagrams bought them and its recent...

Found a bottle in Little Rock. I think it's as good or better than EW SB from the same distiller, and less money. I'll be on the lookout for more the next time I'm down there.

Welcome Bryan. Whisk(e)y Nerd is mild compared to what my wife sometimes calls me! Fortunately she enjoys whisk(e)y as much as me. You'll find many "cross drinkers" here (malt and bourbon, ...as...

Great to hear from you Rob. I, too, hope you can make it to the sampler. If not, we'll see you again the next time you can make it.

I like it. I think it's a great value for the money. WT is as good or maybe just a hair better, but it's more expensive down here. I have some, and I'll probably buy more.

Hey Scott,

You have a great bar. I too enjoyed my conversation with Mr. Kool Aid man.

Charlie,

I second what Tim said! Van Blank is Randy's personal bottling of Van Winkle.

Welcome aboard!

On the political forum you will find others who share your political views and others who are on the opposite side of the tracks. The one thing we all agree on is that what makes...

I guess I have no taste. I always leave it in the original bottle until it's less than 1/2 full, then move it to a clean 375ml, then later to a 200ml. On my everyday stuff that I drink regularly, I...

Welcome Francois,

Personally, I would rank FR yellow label as equal to or superior to some of the bourbons on your list, but I'm a big FR fan. Consequently, if you can afford the 31E, try the...

I was in Little Rock one day and wanted a drink before dinner. I don't like to drink in bars, especially alone, so I bought a 200ml of EW black in a plastic bottle. I thought it was terrific for...

Wade,

Did you leave out a decimal point? Did you mean $2.50/bottle?

Chuck, I thought Early Times was an American blend. What is it? Or do they make it in Canada? I defer to your expertise, but I'm confused.

As to talking themselves into buying it, I thought...

As usual, I can't "play" this game because of lack of availability. However, the last time I was in KY I got a bottle of Old Ezra #7. I thought it was great for the money. I'm sure I'd like the 12...

There's a world of knowledge to be gained from this site. But everyone's taste is different. If you like it, it's good. If you don't like it, it's not good. Doesn't matter what the experts say...
