smokinjoe Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Got a hankerin' for some corn whiskey. The always pleasing Dixie Dew delivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserhog Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 J. Reiger Kansas City Whiskey. It is might fine stuff. It is a sourced whiskey from LDP but that is ok. Seems to be a blend of straight rye, corn and malt. A small amount of sherry is added ( apparently this was not an uncommon practice to 19th century whiskey makers). It pairs great with cigar.

garbanzobean Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Bernheim straight wheat 7 y/o. Needs a little water to tame some heat I don't recall from the last bottle, but is otherwise quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 After the Colts, I needed something to take my mind off it. I raided the bunker and opened some Mellow Corn BIB. Sometimes I forget how good this is: almost bourbon, very mild and easy for 100 proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 A freshly cracked replacement JDSBBP has been in the rotation this week. I've noticed that once I open a bottle of this it doesn't seem to last very long, as it seems to keep jumping into my glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I found a bottle tonight for $21.24 so I thought what the? Let's give it a try. I will be honest that I am finding a similarity with OGDBIB, except I am finding the heat that Eric describes above. This is interesting since one is a wheat whiskey and the other is a high rye bourbon. I suspect the heat is what is creating the similarity. That or the gyro that I had earlier.

garbanzobean Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Following up the IB Bowmore with a pour of Bernheim. Oddly enough, this isn't clashing at all. The Bernheim now tastes like I'm drinking honey and toffee straight from the tap. Heck yeah. I love this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gutsy move - I don't think I'd even attempt to follow peat with wheat, but maybe I should be a little more daring. I was able to try the Westland Garryana at WhiskyFest SF on Friday night and thought it was very good. My tasting ability was probably a bit impaired at that point but I did pick up some of that bbq-saucey flavor supposedly imparted from the Oregon Oak (aka Quercus Garryana). Will have to try it again on a fresh palate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kpiz Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Finishing up a bottle of Venus Wayward Single Malt. I really enjoyed this malt despite some of the youthful notes it exhibited (it was only aged 6mos). I'll certainly continue to buy this if they keep releasing it with more age, because I think this could be fantastic after just a few years in the barrel.

Paddy Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I polished off the last pour of a Bernheim 7 yr tonight. It doesn't have a great nose or finish, but the further into the bottle you get, the more it grows on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garbanzobean Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Somehow gremlins have already knocked out the first 2/3rd of this bottle of Bernheim. That is why I can't buy this one too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garbanzobean Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I'm sad to report that I gave a bottle of Bernheim and an older dusty of Johnny Drum to some Finnish guys we do business with, and they didn't like the Bernheim at all (as much as Fins hate any alcohol, the bottle still got destroyed in a single night, apparently). At least they loved the Johnny Drum. Guess I'll just stick to bourbon next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 I took a Berheim 7 yr to a party tonight. It was promptly opened, consumed, and retired to the bin, in what can only be described as easy drinking, efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof_Stack Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Dry Fly Distilling - Tritacle Whiskey - aged 3 years. The spice of rye and the softness of wheat = a nice neat slow sipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
