re: Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch Volume III

I have a LORE that i need to open. Looking forward to it.

No sir I traded you one of those special release Laps I think. I think that is when I got this 10y too. Probably been 5 years or something

Going to Volume III made me think back to when we had the Bourbon Back Channel.

Anybody else remember those days?

You're old school Jelly Clown. I see actual matches in your pic. Lol. Used some the other day and thought "am I the only one using these things these days?"

Hey drock, how is the sazerac rye? I see several of you posting pics of it. I checked my total wine in georgia but they don't have it. I'll have to get it on my next trip down. For $18, I suppose it's worth a try based on how many of you are drinking it.

---

This pics we’re posting are of TA’s Saz Barrel Pick, it’s very good.

A lot of places down here did picks of it, so give one of those a try if you can.

Regular saz is great for making OF I think. TAs is a bit better than the run of the mill so I like that one by its self. The regular is worth trying for sure.

I remember, and I remember the original safety meetings when they opened up Olive or Twist just for us and we ended up with a pretty good crowd drinking a lot of good juice

---

Those were the days when we called bottles like Blanton’s and EHT Taylor shelf turds.

. I did try Talisker Storm back last summer, and I was on the fence with it. Considering it was my first ever peat pour, I think that was to be expected.

---

I like Talisker a lot, but Storm is just average. Not something I’d buy again. The 10 and 18 are really solid and Port Ruighe is fantastic but impossible to find.

I have been researching the ardbeg uigeadail, and this seems to fit my flavor profile

I haven’t had the Ugeadail but it’s on the list of what to buy next. Ardbeg has never disappointed.

. I am unfamiliar with Kilchoman, so I'll look into this one.

This is my favorite distillery. They’ve been around since 2005, I think it was the first new Islay distiller in over 100 years. Of their core line, Sanaig is just wonderful. That’s the bottle that really turned me on to Scotch.

They also release a handful of limited edition offerings each year. All are great. I’ve got 13 different Kilchoman bottles and every one of them is good if not great.

Their lowest priced bottle is Machir Bay. It is a good classic Islay whisky, but probably my least favorite bottle they produce.

Thanks TA, I'm going to try to find this one. Never had it

Anyone had this release?

The nostalgia of Smooth Ambler Rye from a few years ago got to me when purchasing, but it is straight terrible. No flavor at all and doesn't open up even after proofing it down with a splash of water. Only alcohol burn.
