If it's not Scotch it's not whiskey! And Lagavulin is the best.

Any other opinion is an "alternative fact" . LOL

I'll have to try it. I like Balvanie. Drinking Glenfiddich tonight.
 
I prefer wheat bourbons to rye bourbons. Try Old Weller Antique 107 if you can find it. Supposedly, a poor man's version of the even harder to find Pappy Van Winkle....Both are always on allocation. Since Pappy can get into the $1,000 per bottle range, Old Weller is a nice alternative. You'll still most likely pay $60 plus for Old Weller, which is only a $25 bourbon on release, if you can find it. I also like Red Breast Single Pot Stilled Irish Whiskey too.....

you see a bottle of Pappy at the Cats Paw once in a while. i am always scared to get too close to it in the fear that i might break the bottle and have to pay for it.

Good point. LOL....
 
This thread is sadly lacking the controversy that I have come to cherish on e-griz. Isn't there somebody who wants to post that Stitt favors HighCorn Porn White-lightning from Nebraska and has made repeated demeaning comments on Montana produced liquor and how that doesn't fit in with his UM vision. You are better than this.

How about if 75 just weighs in?
 
Whatever Rob't Mitchum hauled in his '57 Ford ... he carried it in the gas tank since it would work both as moonshine or fuel.

I got stuck in Salt Lake City airport Monday and found High West Distillery. Damn near missed my flight.

High West makes great Whisky. If you can make it to Park City (Utah) give yourself a treat and have a meal at their distillery on Main - great food and great Whisky cocktails, and their store there has special editions you can only get there, right now a fantastic prairie whisky variety that's wheat based, forgot the name (not the prairie Rye).

Glenmorangie 10 year for every day, Quinta Ruban for occasions.

If you can find 'The Knot' grab some, great Irish Whiskey.

Hibiki Harmony is special, Japanese perfection.

Kirkland Bourbon - very good and close to Jim Beam.

Neversweat Bourbon from Headframe Spirits in Butte may be some of the best whiskey i have ever tasted. drinks like a blended with the full flavor of a decent bourbon. anyone else find a good sipping whiskey this fine winter night?


I really like the Never sweat Bourbon. It is a close second to Jim Beam for me, in fact it is a little smoother and I do enjoy it on the rocks more than Jim Beam. They make Orphan Girl Irish Cream as well and it is fantastic. Better than Baileys. However, My friends Ed and Diane make the best Irish Cream in the world, only problem with it is, I don't know when to stop drinking it.

gotta mix the Orphan Girl with some root beer...its called a Dirty Girl, and its delicious. besides, who doesn't love a dirty girl once in a while?
When mixed with a "hard" root beer, it's called a Filthy-Dirty Girl. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.
 
Bourbon must be made from corn or it's not bourbon. Other whiskeys are made from different grains.
Currently it's Jameson as the best.

On the mash bill for Bourbon, corn is the first ingredient. It's the 2nd ingredient that's up for interpretation. Rye is the most popular grain. Wheat is 2nd I believe. It depends on your taste preference as to which one you'd like. They say wheat makes a slightly sweeter more age worthy finished product. I am not an expert at all. That's just what I've read....

Incidentally, there's also a book on the history of alcohol and brewing in the state of Utah. "Beer in the Beehive"

Notable mention of several LDS leaders from back in the days...
 
5 Rules to be considered a Bourbon:

1. It must be made in the United States. Contrary to popular belief, it doesn't have to be made in Kentucky, although 95 percent of the world's supply is.

2. Aging must take place in a new, charred, oak barrel. Whiskey can be aged in used barrels and often is. The bourbon must be aged for at least two years to be considered a straight bourbon.

3. The mash must be at least 51 percent corn.

4. The whiskey cannot enter the barrel at higher than 125 proof. It cannot enter the bottle at a proof less than 80.

5. Nothing can be added but water and only to lessen the proof when necessary. Other whiskeys can add color and flavor. Not bourbon, it must be au naturel.

God knows being married enhances ones consumption. I would only imagine that consumption increases exponentially with multiple wives.
