It's nothing at all like wild turkey 81 or 101. It's brown sugar, cinnamon, and dark sour cherry at first and then all wood on the back end that just coats your mouth. (that should go to the mom thread....)
June 13, 20205 yr West Fork out here put out some MGP stuff at cask strength. Both the rye and bourbon are good but i prefer rye

Damn, we might have to start trading Whiskeys as well.

Certainly something my poor a$$ has never seen 😄 Maybe after school and loan repayment I can dive into the world of small batch or single pot whiskeys that are much higher quality! I will however pay up for a quality wine or cognac even today

I will however pay up for a quality wine or cognac even today I’m no expert but I taste and enjoy the difference over the regular bottle. But yeah for me it’s a special treat and not the regular. Especially because my wife doesn’t like it so it’s just me drinking it

June 16, 20205 yr COVID made me a bottle killer. I have prided my collection of single malts - but finishing bottles gives me room for new stock. Latest casualty: 21 year old Springbank, probably the finest whiskey I ever bought. Cringed at paying $90 for it. 5 years later I could have sold it open to a guy for $500 The 16 year old Springbank rum wood is on deck and almost gone.
June 16, 20205 yr Grabbed a Bakers 7 yo (the new version) debated the Bulleit blenders choice instead but settled on Bakers as i have never had it high rye all the way for me

June 20, 20205 yr The Bakers is very very good. Even neat i only feel the 107 proof on the finish. would highly recommend

June 22, 20205 yr My son picked this up during a layover in Ireland, it reminds me of a less peaty single malt scotch like Dalhwinnie
June 22, 20205 yr Teeling is kinda sweet yeah the bulleit blenders reserve is good but the Bakers was better

FWIW my son asked his Irish bartender in Ireland for a recommendation and Teeling is what he came up with. If you can't trust an Irishman, who can you trust? I hope the bartender's last name wasn't Teeling.

I just checked a bottle I have and it's imported through the US in Coral Gables, FL. I was in the UK for work took a weekend in Dublin and hung out with a couple co-workers from there. Irish people love to hang out in pubs and talk and get to know new people, very friendly. Anyway they tell me about Teeling and start buying me drinks. I got smashed, it was some kind of small batch higher proof or something I don't recall. They said that Teeling isn't sold at every pub due to some kind of licensing deal or something (kinda how restaurants either have Coke or Pepsi). Pubs advertise outside with a sign indicating they serve Teeling. I drank a lot of Guinness and Teeling that weekend.

I'm just trying to figure out how to lump in the islay region of Scotland

I'm just trying to figure out how to lump in the islay region of Scotland Been there twice. First time was back in '89 with my dad and sister. Spent a week there driving from town to town and seeing sights. Beautiful country. So F'ing green (in a multitude of different shades), really rather clean and seemed most people had a dog, which is cool. Second time was in 2012 when I mostly hung out in London for a week, but took the train to Wales and the ferry to Dublin to spend a couple days there before heading home. I'd love to go back. If you have the chance, do it.
