I like it very much but when a friend asked what it tasted like my response was "weird" this is a more useful description, my initial thought is the smoke is more peated highland than Islay but somehow the casks combined with the smoke do kind of create a medicinal thing that is vaguely Islayish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwperry Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have yet to have one of these I haven't liked. For me, makes it the most consistent single barrel product I've had at least 3 bottles of. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I've really been enjoying the Woodford Reserve Straight Malt Whiskey lately. Leathery, chocolatey, coffee-y, nutty with sweet fruit, and a healthy dose of oak to balance it out. Probably my favorite Woodford expression to date. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Last drop. It was very interesting for an American malt, but one bottle was enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Oh yes we are doing this. I bought this fucker back in 2013 or 2014, used a quarter of the bottle to scrub off mold from my kitchen counter, and it's still going strong in 2019.

I actually still have a bottle of Deaths Door from their very first batch. At that time, they aged their whiskey for a couple of weeks in (used?) barrels. I bought two bottles at the time. One I took to Bardstown to share at our spring get together. Biba! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCWoody Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) Having a very good pour of my favorite JD, The Heritage Barrel. Damn fine whiskey. Edited October 24, 2019 by LCWoody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJon Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) This is one of the few craft whiskeys I keep going back to. Being 100% hickory smoked malted barley makes it a funky ride. I like that it’s 100 proof, a lot of flavor and a bit of burn that I’ve grown to really like. Very smokey but so different from a smokey Islay. And perhaps the biggest kicker. I can get it locally for $25. When I’m getting low I find it hard to not grab another bottle when I see it on the shelf. If other craft distillers priced as reasonably I would be much more willing to try and/or be a repeat buyer.

kcgumbohead Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 2 of my all time favorites GD12 and Al D!! On topic I finished a local ATL distillery bottling (ASW) something they call “Duality “, a malted rye, malted barley whiskey. I got this at the distillery debut party for it and its been a nice change of pace pour. It reflects what the distillery notes suggest and I have enjoyed it, its a bit of rye spice and a scotch type component. I followed it up with a nice pour of GD12, always a winner.

Harry in WashDC Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 In keeping with my bunker reduction by drinking clunkers (AKA, anything I have but likely would not purchase again so the current one is taking up valuable space and drawing the attention of an other person living here who is complaining AGAIN about the manymany bottles stashed around the house), I just opened a Basil Hayden Dark Rye. For those of you who have not tasted it, I offer these brief comments. Those of you who HAVE tasted it are free to stop reading now because you KNOW this blend already. BHDR is an 80 proof NAS blend of JB Rye, some Alberta Distiller's rye (and remember JB owns AB), and a little California port (but which port, I don't know). Josh Peters at www.thewhiskeyjug.com reviewed BHDR in Nov 2017, and his review matches my impression, so if you are REALLY curious, go read his lengthy review. The blend is port-forward. Indeed, I'm two ounces in and still do not smell or taste rye - just an earthy grappa/pisco-like (but not smooth brandy-like) slightly sweet distilled spirit. I'm thinking that, instead of drinking the rest of this neat or even with ice, I may experiment with cocktails that otherwise call for a wine and distilled spirit combo -- Kir Royale, French 75, Hock Martini - style.

BMartin42 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It’s Canadian but I don’t find a thread for that. A Black Velvet “High ball”. Only because that was my Father-in-laws drink of choice. He was a generous man and a great grandfather to my daughter. RIP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDanner Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) A great price on this one...3 half -bottles of Va Distilling Malt whiskies for $30 equates to $20 ea. for full size. Full Size bottles sell for $65 (which is why I've never tried it before) so it's almost a 75% discount. They blend their young Single Malt with an undisclosed Highland Single Malt and then finish it in either Cider, Chardonnay or Port Casks. So far I've tried the Cider Cask Finish and it is delicious.
