The Whiskey Thread

[FergusonTO35]

I'm a bottom feeder when it comes to booze, always looking for cheap stuff that tastes good. McAfee's Benchmark (an off brand that may not be available everywhere) is probably my favorite. If you ever get a chance to try Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale you should do so, it's really good and packs a punch.

I'm a simple man - Jim Beam white label is fine, since my cocktail of choice is usually an Old Fashioned with way too much bitters.

That being said, my good friend from college has a craft distillery near Cincinnati - New Richmond Distilleries https://www.nrdistilleries.com/

It's really nice stuff, and good folks making it.

Bought a bottle of VO because I'm a peasant and don't know better. What's a really good Canadian whisky?

Crown Royal is top shelf

I once bought a bottle of Canadian Mist (I think that was the name) and was shocked at how good it was.

I always come back with a bottle of Gibson's Finest (12 year old) when I visit the family.

I picked up a bottle of that, and it's nice. Smooth, slightly sweet, and wheat forward, which is perfect for the BLOODY HOT WEATHER I'm dealing with at the moment.

Also: wonderfully cheap.

Not much of a drinker and never got into the oakey flavor of the bourbon but my buddy got some of this and if I was a sipper of fine whiskey I'd give this a good review. Very smooth and silky.
But that said I'm not much of a whiskey sipper.

Not my brand of choice, but interesting to note, that at -20°F, 80 proof becomes mostly solid...

 

[FergusonTO35]

Mebbe that batch was watered down?
