re: Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch appreciation thread Volume II

Couple of new neck pours tonight. Finally cracking my midwinter and am tasting irish for the first time. I find it very nice.

2 and 3 PD.

I haven’t tried any of the Turkey outside of Russels, which I like a lot. I want to try the rare breed and this rye. It’s on my list.

Made a stop at Rouses (Epicurean/Thibodaux) after work today. Barrel selects for the BT and saz. Been eyeing russels and the high west was on sale for a few bucks off.

Wild Turkey 101 is very underrated, holds up really well. Wild Turkey 101 Rye is my go to for Old Fashioneds as well.

NP, Just because it shows something on there, doesnt mean they still have it. They could have sold out that day or the prior. However it does let you know who is getting it. From there, if not in stock, figure out when delivery day is. try not to go to high trafficked stores. The grocery store liquor stores are the best though. if they cant find it, within two weeks. they are not really trying. Once they figure out delivery day, it should be an endless supply for you.

Most stores I have been in Ohio, tell me their delivery day, but usually only in person. Good luck

Who do you trust for picking out barrels? I live Northshore, and there are Russels picks at Acquistipace, Total Wine and Saias. Is this one of those can't go wrong scenerios by purchasing at any of those (I won't buy TW, because I want to support my local stores), or is it wiser to trust one more than the others? I've been wanting to grab one of those Russel picks, but at $60 I only plan to buy one. I'm curious how you all decide whom to trust if that does indeed matter.

some places even just let the distilleries pick.

Its really a personal preference. Some stores have someone with a similar palate to your own, some the opposite. Trial by fire. If a local owned store is getting a lot of barrel picks, they are usually a go to spot, because that usually means they are selling a lot, which means a lot of people like their palate.

On the Northshore Acuistipace and saias do a solid job...also check out Martins who does an excellent job. frick total wine...along with crushing small local retailers, they put 0 thought into their picks.
