Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough

No, not "big" I guess, but I found it flavorful, especially over a couple of ice cubes.
I'll have to try some ice in it. I think the flavor profile is really good but sorta subdued.
I like it more with a clean pallet. Switching from ER or scotch to for that matter to drum is challenging. I enjoyed it with a few drops of cold mineral water.

So I gave into the advertising and bought a bottle of Old Camp Whiskey. Not the peach one. It was more for the lafs because the girl i'm seeing is a whiskey snob. Okay for an American whiskey, but she prefers the shit that tastes like paint thinner. :fancy: :yikes:

I had never heard of this before. Now I have. It looks disgusting.
It's just a smooth whiskey. How is that disgusting? That's like saying Corona or Bud light sucks. It isn't the best but who doesn't like Corona or Bud ?

I think you're in the wrong thread, son.

4zilch's favorite tastes like paint thinner.
Calvinballs favorite tastes like a campfire, that was then set on fire by a bigger camp fire.
My favorite tastes like a refinery that's polluting way above legally allowed levels.
:lolol: :lolgasm:

Gonna have to have some scotch later today after reading that.

Day 1, in the books.

Image

MacDuff 14 year cask strength Single Malt
Sherry cask
57% ABV
Highland

Very floral to the nose with some obvious alcohol at this percentage. Lots of butterscotch flavor with some burn going down at 114 proof. The oils coated my tongue and now it tastes delightful 5 minutes later.

Not bad at all for the first one, I hope the next 24 stay at this quality level.

Yearly check in to remind you fellas this is all horseshit. I could mix in an ounce of my piss after a night of asparagus tips and pineapple chunks for every 9 ounces of these high dollar spirits and you would be none the wiser.

Do you use one of those fancy wine type pumps that gets the air out of the bottle?

Day 2 down.

Wemyss Malts - Wooden Chest 46% ABV

Image

This one was interesting for sure. Mellow on the nose. A little fruity. Definite woody flavors followed by fruit.. I wouldn't mind finding this blend and buying a bottle.

I’ll revisit this. It hasn’t been my favorite.

This one was from last night. Not really impressed.

Smelled very strong of alcohol, some flowery flavors initially then it completely disappeared on the tongue.

Weird...
Totally.

Just completely went to zero once your tongue was coated. Then it just left an alcohol taste.

Tonight's looks interesting @ 116 proof.
