I enjoy bookers and Woodford. Also a little talked about bottle is Basil Hayde ns. Won't break the bank and is tasty when served neat.

Has anyone seen any Pappy 20yr in the wild? Supposed to have shipped a couple of weeks ago.

I have not yet but it's funny... I've been keeping an eye out for it as well.

I think Red Dog Wine & Spirits in Franklin has it, on South Royal Oaks next to Publix.

Last week we picked up a bottle of Noah's Mill Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey [link] and have been enjoying it tremendously. Tonight we picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey [link] and we're enjoying it equally as much.

I normally drink Scotch (Johnnie Walker - Black), but tried Collier & McKeel this week. Recommended as a Tennessee Whiskey for Scotch drinkers. Not bad stuff at all, and distilled in Nashville, to my understanding.

I had a taste of this one the other night. Interesting.

I saw that one today. I'll have to stop tomorrow and pick it up.

Noah's Mill is one of my favorites. I'll pass on the Eagle Rare.

I did find me some Pappy 20yr at Boulevard Wine & Spirits.

I cracked open a bottle of W.L. Weller Special Reserve tonight. Great sippin' bourbon for under $30.

Been my house bourbon for about 12 years now, won more than a few taste tests against higher price competition. Cheers neighbor!

Thanks, I think this one has earned a permanent spot in the rotation!

picked up a bottle of

Prichard’s Double Chocolate Bourbon

Wow, very smooth with a great flavor. I think this may be one of the best I have tried.. Highly recommend straight with no additions makes it perfect.

One other that I like is

George T Stagg / Bot.2011 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

[Raoul]

So a mint Julep is just a brown Mojito?

[willis68]

I brought a Bottle of this home from the Shetland Islands (Scotland)

I have to say this is the Best I have ever had!

After fighting traffic on the Redneck 500 (I-285, the Atlanta Bypass for you non-travelers) earlier today, I decided that I needed something stronger than beer and sweet enough to put me in a more "cordial" mood, so I cracked a bottle of Phillips Union Cherry that I'd been hiding in the freezer for the past few months. Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Just the thing!

(My apologies to true whiskey aficionados.)

So I've got 3 new ones I've tried.

First up is the Ridgemont Reserve 1792.

This one is another of the Sazerac owned companies and the nose and taste definitely have a big rye influence. Reminds me somewhat of the Jefferson Reserve.

[Raoul]

Next up is the Four Roses Single Barrel. I liked this one better than the Small Batch. It's a little bigger in the glass. It's not a sweet bourbon, lots of rye.

[Raoul]

The last one is a homeboy. George Dickel Barrel Select. This is really a nice bottle, a little sweet with honey and vanilla in the mix. I just opened this one but I have a feeling it's gonna have a place in my liquor cabinet.

[Spots]

My favorite whiskey comes from a place I can't name, but I'll be sure to have a few jars on hand if we ever have a get together at my place.

That's a deal.

Tried Old Ezra recently. It's a smooth, 7 year old sippin' whiskey, but, at 101 proof, a bit too fiery for my taste.

[peejman]

Just finished a small bottle of Chivas Regal. Smooth flavor, if a little bland. Also seemed a little weak for 80 proof. I was surprised how much I drank with minimal effect.

Now working on a bottle of The Glenlivet... mmmmmm. Tasty.
