Question for my whiskey brethren. I'm heading to a high school football alumni renuinion party tomorrow night (yeah I know, spare me the Al Bundy jokes). Of course I asked if I could bring a bottle or two, and got the green light. My good buddy is a bourbon fan, and I'd say he's a fan, but not quite in the "crazy like most of us" whiskey range of the hobby (blantons, woodford, etc). What to bring? I'm thinking a bottle of Noah's Creek (newer Willett stock) and Willett 4 yr rye....

Appreciate the feedback gents, I went with a JDSBBP and a Rare Breed and brought some nice big hunks of clear ice, both were very popular (no mixed drinks lol)

Finishing the night off with the tasty rye version

I can't pretend to know much, but I do drink a lot of it, so I think I'm qualified to start the thread at least.

Currently killing off a bottle of Woodford Reserve, but my preferred drink over the past year has been Elmer T. Lee, which I think has to be the best bourbon for the dollar. I was primarily a scotch drinker until approx 18 months ago when I started delving into bourbons and i've found it very rewarding with the aforementioned Elmer being my happiest discovery (via recommendations from friendly users on that other site).

I know there are certifiable whiskey snobs on this board, though, so I'd love to hear what everyone is enjoying these days.

I've become a bit of a Scotch snob, but mainly because my wife is British, and every trip to visit her family I acquire another unusual (and usually unavailable in the US) whisky.

I favor the peaty, smoky drams, and my favorites (in no particular order):

Longrow CV (if you see this, buy it immediately)
Lagavulin 12 y.o. Cask Strength (the 16 is also excellent)
Talisker 18
Oban 14 and 18
Dailuaine
Rosebank
Highland Park 21

Now...off to have a little nip.

My favorites are Lagavulin 16 and Oban 14. I’ve never tried Longcrow CV but I’m very curious now! Can you buy it in the states? If so, what’s a rough price tag?

How much is a bottle of Elmer? I don’t even know if it’s available in Wyoming but I’ll have to keep an eye out!

Longrow CV, alas, is no longer available. Closest is Longrow Peated. It’s all over the place, price-wise, but should be $80-90.
 
We’ll get to something American eventually :cool

Should have had this one before the Redbreast. This is really good but it’s a bit anticlimactic after the last pour. Still highly recommend this if you ever run across one.
