Well, the JW Gold used to be a home run, but they changed the blend 3 or 4 years ago, and changed the branding? Too bad. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick_OKC Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Not Scotch, but a good break from Bourbon, Tullamore Dew Phoenix, 55% ABV. The typical subtle Irish flavor, mind you. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_OKC Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 okay, closing the evening with a bottle that is slow-going. Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulO Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I'm having some Famous Grouse. It's tasting pretty good tonight. I think the bottle improved a bit after it sat after a few pours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have enjoyed a variety of Scotch single malts (and blends for that matter) over the years, but this particular bottling is heavier on the Sherry-influence than I generally prefer.

dad-proof Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Nothing special, but I have pretty much stuck to beer, ET BIB and WTR101 since Spring as I had the rest of my stash packed up while in rental/remodel mode. A couple of small exceptions like CEHT BP and Little Book 2, only because they didn't fit in my boxes, haha. Finally moved and celebrated by randomly opening a box, and blindly pulling this bottle. Good to have some/any scotch after several months. May do another random pull again tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Seemed like an Ardbeg kinda day. Ardbog (2013) is probably my favorite expression I've had from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Followed up the Ardbog with some Oogy. Sweet and peat night for sure. They are definitely sweet in a totally different way...Manzanilla vs Oloroso. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0895 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Went to drop something off at a buddy’s house today and he offered me inside for a socially distanced whiskey. He pulled this out. I’m not normally one for scotch, but not wanting to be rude, I took the drink. I like this a lot. Next we tried a JW 21 year in a fancy looking bottle. That was delicious as well. Perhaps I do like some scotch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Mr Harper saluting this fallen Canuck for all of the fine work he did. I believe I heard him say, “I salute you my Northern neighbor! You are one of the finest whiskies Doofuss over there taking this picture had the privilege of drinking this year...ahem...Two of your brothers stand ready in the bunker, ready to meet the challenges of the New Year. Like you, I am confident that they will perform in similar fine fashion. Any American whiskey drinker would be honored to have your service on their bar...OK Dipshit, you may put the phone down now, and drink before you hurt yourself...” 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
