Really been enjoying this evan williams single barrel.
 
Right now I have Old Weller Antique (private barrel pick), Rip Van Winkle 10 yr, and a Smooth Ambler 11 year Old Scout 110.2 proof (private barrel pick). My go to everyday is Bottled in Bond 6 year Heaven Hill 100 proof, which is only available in KY. Oh yes a Elmer T. Lee black label put back.

^maybe your wife can teach my wife how to source bourbon:D

My wife buys me bourbon but she basis it on how well she likes the bottle. I good with this as it gives me a chance to try things i never would have considered. Thats how i discovered bulliet 10yr, my wife liked the bottle :thumbup:

I'd grade those:
#4
#1
#2
#1.5
#3

Solid choices though.:thumbup:
 
Interesting^ everyone seems to love the pot still but i just cannot get on board with it. Will post the results from my wifes taste test in a bit. She has a much more refined palate then me
 
Anybody like Jameson Irish Whiskey? My boss turned me onto it and im halfway through my second bottle now. Im very new to whiskey tho so i cant base it on much really.
 
I've only tried a couple of Irish whiskeys.
The taste was fine; but, overall, less than compelling. Of course, that's coming from a bourbon drinker... bourbon has a different feel to it. Irish whiskey seems lighter, almost watery in comparison (and I'm not talking about low alcohol content, as I've had cask strength Irish)
Don't get me wrong - it's not bad stuff. Made a few friends over a bottle of Black Bush at an Irish bar one March 16, lol; and bonded with a few more this St Patty's with Green Spot.

Having a glass of eagle rare now...

All the old school bourbon drinkers say the old eagle rare was much better. Musta been some damn good bourbon because i cant see improving on the current ER personally

Its kinda funky at times and sweet at times... I dig it.
