Lets talk about bourbon, scotch and whiskey

Using the ski poles as the post is a nice touch. Good Job

I want to steal this idea....love it!!

Wow...this is disappointing as a long time HW drinker. Bummer. I also no longer drink Scotch..just is too heavy for me.

Some of the Highlands Scotch is pretty light. Glenmorangie, Glenfiddich.

I'm drinking some Glenmorangie 14 right now. Smoooooth.

More than willing to give it a shot. I've found some Balvenie to be smooth and easier to drink as well.

I noticed that a high West Campfire is available again but after hearing the Rendezvous went downhill I’m unwilling to spend the money on it especially at $90 a bottle.

Monkey Shoulder is a pretty good blend for the money.
A blend of Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie. Apparently, they don't just blend and bottle, they blend and then cask for a while and then bottle.

Can I get this with a less yucky name? (Maybe I'll just take the label off.)

Hahah. Yeah the name...a bit odd, but it's an homage to the workers who stir the mash by hand, or at least used to--probably all mechanized and automated now--After years of stirring, one of their shoulders would droop like a monkey's shoulder.

I'm on the wagon due to diabetes (alcohol turns into sugar ...or so I hear..), but made an exception for our 40th reunion (Queen's Applied Science '82). My buddy brought a bottle of Scotch, picked up at the duty-free (and left me with about half a bottle when he flew back to California). We had to rush our traditional first shot due to being late for lunch (and hungry), so it seemed a tiny bit too harsh. He said it would be better with water. I had two fingers (in a wide glass), and knew I had been drinking. Potent stuff.

However, later that evening (or was it the next?) we had time to savour it slowly. Not bad at all neat - if taken very slowly.

and a good mustard......

Ah, mustard. There’s a thread for you…just as nuanced as whisky /Bourbon. Gulden’s @Philpug ? Just for the Phil Rizzutto connection?

Holy Cow!

Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure there was a mustard thread.

I wish I had seen that sooner. My wife has a lot of family in Henderson and we’re actually there last weekend.

I’m a sucker for anything that’s MGP sourced but this is a really good pour.

 

[Jilly]

Well this way well timed. I was going to post this in the "what's in your Govino". The last of the summer scotch.

Also try White Horse, best sleeper blend out there IMHO. Rave reviews from the spirit journal to boot!
