Now listening to some prick telling the bar staff that bourbon is better. Get in the sea mofo!!!

 

[Irish]

That didn't get killed at JinJ? Or, did you find another?

Nope, still have about half the bottle left from the meetul. We kicked the McKenna, Buffalo Trace, Boone County and most of the Rabbit Hole rye.

 

[wolfpack]

Obligatory.

You know I enjoy some of these whiskey channels, but I think we have enough knowledge and experience here we could put together a round table to rival any of those channels.

$15 over retail but I’m not complaining.

I don't watch for info. Strictly entertainment.

Trying some jw dant bib

Covid has destroyed any desire to have a bourbon. I haven't had a drink since Cali. This is ridiculous!

It took me several weeks to completely get over it. And it took another week or so beyond that before I felt like drinking. And if you knew me you would know that saying something because I’m god’s original own booze bag.

I did get a new liquor cabinet while I was down for the count though.

 

[wolfpack]

Some of our new riff barrel pick. I forgot how good it is

 

[MeridianFC]

Popped into the pub at lunchtime. All different whiskies. Full of you American tourists.

We are like a rash. We’re everywhere

Is that the Potstill? It looks like it but I’ve never seen it in daylight hours. One of the greatest watering holes on planet earth.

Alberta, demerara. Regarding Trinity bitters, I think 3 shakes is way too much. One shake is plenty and really adds to the cocktail. Delicious! Those bitters are potent and take over the drink if too much is used. Cheers!

IMO Bittercube's Trinity bitters are LEGIT. Way better than angustura!

This one is for @wolfpack

 

[FDLmold]

I gotta find me one of those. I found the rum barrel finished, but my guy has it $20 overpriced and they just sit on the shelf.

I like it better than the cask strength. It’s only 2-3 proof points lower but it’s aged an extra year. Both are really really good though!

KO4, my favorite rye so far in my whiskey adventure!

 

[Billy Baroo]

Revisiting the Figgy Smalls barrel…thanks @Pinkdan for getting me this one! I absolutely love this!

Have not seen that around here yet. Looks interesting.

It was my bracket winner.

At least I've tried it then! Foggy memory.

There are $100ish bottles around me that just sit there. I can buy them whenever I want, which is never for a $100+ bottle that just sits there.

But these Woodfords ALWAYS go quickly, they never collect dust. So I got one when I saw it today.

I want that Woodford!

 

[FDLmold]

I want that Woodford!

I will try very hard to think of something I want more.

Like if I can't get my own Little Book Chapter 6.

 

[BonScot]

Is that the Potstill?

Sure is. Great wee pub back in the day. I first went 25 years ago when it was called The Cask & Still.

I was talking to the staff and it turns out that they’ve got a deal with cruise ships to bring tourists up from Greenock.

 

[Saoliver]

It’s pretty good @Pinkdan. It’s all caramel, vanilla, brown sugar, maple syrup, and the trademark banana. Much better than regular Jack. The 700ml bottle still has me scratching my head.

I’ll open the Triple Mash next.

 

[Saoliver]

The nose is incredible. Woody with tons of sweet sugar like glazed donuts. Dark fruits and almond. Makes me think of a blackberry bearclaw, like you can get at Black Bear Diner. This nose is nothing like any other Jack.

The palate is soft and slow at first, then comes on. Sweet berries, vanilla cola. A little spice, but it doesn’t drink like a 100 proof. There is a little barely ripe banana toward the end. Nothing like other JD though.

This is a very good value, even for a 700ml. Ugh. I can’t get over how good the nose is!

Given what all licensed establishments have had to do in the past couple of years to survive I say anyway they can get some cash to the front door is all right by me. I think the Murphys are good people too. Frank is a solid as they come.

you must spend some time at the Bon Accord too?

I’m in the Bon Accord every week. Their soup and a steak pie for £8 is legendary.
