Lets talk about bourbon, scotch and whiskey

[Tricia]

I was really into purchasing furniture that was already distressed back when I had toddlers. (Then I realized it had nothing to do with toddlers ... just life. But a pre-dented fancy dining table is great!)

This should probably go in the humor thread but...

This post was from the dog fostering thread but I thought it was more appropriate here.

My brother in law was telling me about Buffalo Trace Bourbon I have never tried it, has anyone tried it? Is it any good?

Meh. Eagle Rare comes out of the same distillery and is significantly better. It's usually a few bucks more but well worth it, IMO.

@Philpug @UGASkiDawg @SBrown @Drahtguy Kevin to name a few.
Yeah, its pretty good.
If I remember correctly Eagle Rare and Buffalo Trace are from the same distillery

Thanks. Do they make a once a year limited edition bourbon as well?

You know you’re bored during a lockdown 28 days without being able to ski which prompts a liquor cabinet clean, dust on all the bottles and shelves. I haven’t done it in awhile so it needed it!

^^^^ Well done!

Are you sure that's not a cabinet from the liquor store?
That's quite the variety of palett profiles.

About 40 bottles of wine(mostly Cabernet) around the corner to that cabinet too I’m afraid.

Have about 50 pounds of chocolate bars and candy at all times in various cabinets and the faces on every adult light up the same when I open the liquor or candy cabinets for the first time. Honestly shocking I’m still thin! Lol

I'm almost out of Templeton Rye. Now contemplating replacing with another Rye. Anyone have a suggestion for something smoother, more accessible and maybe local to SFBA or Tahoe? I'm not into heavy peat and would like to support local if possible. I'm going to guess a tasting bar is a no go right now.

Edit: Should have searched a little before asking here. Looks like.quite a few to choose from.

Wow.
This is one you start with. And maybe that one drink is what you'll finish with.
Really nice flavor profile. Potential to kick you on your ass.

Recommend a bit of water to cool the fire.

Wife set up a bourbon tasting for before I throw some bone in ribeyes on the grill. But it looks like there’s gonna be a test.
