Sippin' Bourbon

[Josh Runkle]

I picked up a Balvenie 14 year old Caribbean Cask this weekend. Will be tasting this week.

That’s one of my favorites. If you like it, try Jefferson’s Ocean Aged.

While I've been a Maker's Mark drinker. Eli brought up Hayden's, that's been my goto for the past few months. Good stuff!!

It's that time of year, time for the Masters of Malt Advent calendar:

I get the scotch one, but they have Bourbon and mixed among others. Just got mine a couple of days ago, looking forward to Dec. 1.

Stopped by the local package store at lunch today to pick up some Vodka to serve the Thanksgiving folks. Lo and behold (so old fashioned sounding expression).. Not only did they have 1.5L Eagle Rare, they also had Blantons. Been a while since I've been able to buy Blantons... Luckily I remembered the Vodka too.

Looking forward to Thursday. And Friday.... and Saturday.. Sunday..

Outstanding luck on the Blantons!

Oh, and on the disappointing side...both my wife and I thought the Johnny Walker "Blue" hugely disappointing. I can't think of a good thing to say about it.

I have no idea why anyone buys it, other than to show off a bottle. "Looky, I gots me some JW Blue....."

It's probably the most overrated thing in the store.

Fortunately it was gifted to us so we're not out anything.

The laphroaig single malts are good. I like the Ardberg a bit better than Laphroaig- a little more peaty

My girl hates the Ardberg. She won’t even pour it for me. Calls it the bandaid scotch because to her it smells and tastes like bandaids.

One of my favorites. I tried it because I thought it was gimmicky and an excuse to squeeze $80 a bottle from Jefferson’s Reserve.

To my surprise there really is something to it. Smooth big barrel profile and a slight brine.

If you smell and taste side by side to the regular Jefferson it becomes pronounced.

I’m not a major Makers guy. Nothing against it, just not something I seek out.

I would recommend you try Makers Cask Strength high proof with a nice cherry flavor. Smooths out after the first sip.

Just got back from Costco.

They had:

Makers Mark

Knob Creek

Kirtland Costco Brand (I am not making this up)

Woodford Reserve

Some Brand I’d never heard of but it was Aged At Sea wth?

Out of that group, I think I’ll try the MM as it was 1.5 l for something like $38 IIRC.
