pepcycle Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Great Article giving BT credit for beating the rest of the world in Murray's book. But they put a picture of the wrong product!!!!http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/news/kentucky-beats-scotch-whisky-in-world-top-10-1831110.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emr454 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think this is one of those cases where one knows "just enough to be dangerous."Buy hey, at least it is Sazerac, they didn't mess that part up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishnbowljoe Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Crap! Here I thought that somehow three bottles of Saz 18 magically appeared in my bunker. :cry: Guess not. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILLfarmboy Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I think this is one of those cases where one knows "just enough to be dangerous."Buy hey, at least it is Sazerac, they didn't mess that part up!This sort of thing happens within every subject matter I've ever been interested in And I imagine every subject matter I have no interest in.What is it with the general media, as apposed to periodicals devoted to specific subjects, that they so often muck things up?

darkluna Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Did you know there's a magazine about "knowing just enough to be dangerous"? It's called Modern Jackass. I heard about this on an episode of This American Life now I refer to it nearly every day, usually because I catch myself talking about something I only know a little bit about.My favorite part of the story is the person who thought a quesadilla meant "What's the dealio?" in Spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Funny, same thing here: http://blogs.laweekly.com/squidink/bars/sazerac-rye-gets-good-with-liq/Both sources are also reporting it as if it's a big deal that a Kentucky Bourbon beat Scotch when Murray has given Stagg the best whiskey title several times in the past. In fact, Murray's best whiskey has nearly always been either a Buffalo Trace or an Ardbeg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanSheen Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 What I find amusing about this isin previous discussions Saz 18 has been talked about as going downhill prior to 2008 with the metal showing through.But hey, American Beer and American Whiskey........ taking over the world!I hope to get a bottle of that Amrut when I am in UK over the holidays. I have been wanting to try that for some time. I am a huge fan of Yamazaki and soon I must pick up a bottle of the recently available Hibiki. I think the scotch boys have reason to be a little concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I'm drinking some of the Saz 18 right now and while I generally prefer older whiskeys, I put the Handy 09 ahead of the Saz and both just below VWFRR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I am a huge fan of Yamazaki and soon I must pick up a bottle of the recently available Hibiki. I tried the Hibiki at WhiskyLive in LA. It was a very nice easy drinking blend. They also had the Yamazaki 1984 which was fabulous, but I don't know how much they'll be charging for it.

Here is it expected to go for 600+ so I wont be buying any.The new Nikka Yoichi is running about $140 in Japan. Thats a little more in my price range though still allot of money.
