New Bourbon Thread: Bourbon Trail

Peg leg is Dickel. Penelope should be mgp.

 

Penelope is MGP.

 

I think the Doughboy is available now again on SGL for those in that group.

 

Just cracked open my Woodford 16 year. Holy bananas, Batman. Just overwhelming banana nose and forward flavor. I actually like it a lot and it has a nice bite for 90 proof, but I still don't think it is worth $129 for the flavor profile. Aging statement, sure.

 

Regular Woodford gives me a big banana nose. Can only imagine what its like on the 16

 

Is isoamyl acetate the ingredient that makes certain bourbon have the banana taste/smell?

 

Anyone looking for a Woodford Baccarat? Got a friend that accidentally bought one.

 

Accidentally spent $2k?

 

I'll give him 100 for it

 

pperc, got a bombergers, cypb, and some bt store picks

Couldn't get full proof to even show up until it was sold out. Kept saying not available.

Didn't notice shenks because I didn't read the email

 

You read correctly.

 

Saw you in for a couple

 

I got a Shenk's and a Johnny Drum's private stock. Couldn't get the Bomberger's or Weller FP out of my cart.

 

Anyone know anything about Drum's? Is it anything good?

 

I thought it was Willett Pot Still in another bottle but maybe I’m wrong.

 

It wasn't expensive, so if it is so be it. LOL

 

If I only had a dollar every time it happened to me.

 

The bottle is the only redeeming part of Willett pot still...

 

Nice little haul today

 

Was it for $20? My guy yesterday said it’s good for the price but similar to Jim Beam

 

This isn't the generic Johnny Drum. It's the Private Stock. From what I read it does not appear to be the pot still. Externally sourced, and used to carry an age statement of 15 years. Seems a good deal at $42. Gets decent reviews.

 

Drum is gross IMO.

I got a WFP and a Bomberger's today. Missed that CYPB goodness. Can't win them all.

 

i couldn't even get that damn Shenk's page to load.

 

It was weird that pages wouldn't load. Had that issue with full proof the whole time and bombergers for a while

 

Picked up a Smoke Wagon U/U today. First time seeing it in a store

 

Drum is alright, nothing special. I'm with pperc in every time I've had it its been a solid meh

 

I was thinking of old tub

 

Grabbed a green spot today to be festive

 

any secondary value on the drum?

 

noooooooo way. Pa making a drop like that is a joke.

 

OK for $42 not knowing figured I had nothing to lose since I already missed the others. I'll give it away to an acquaintance, LOL.

 

sem's friend will give you 200

 

Every place I see that has that bottle it just sits there and of course it is never above retail. Granted it is really nice, but still...

 

I was on the phone with sem because he hadn't done the pa drop before and we were joking about what kind of person drops 2k on that bottle when we realized it sold out
He texted me about 5 minutes after we hung up

 

you do not have my permission to let that dirty trash from Jersey order our beloved PA whiskey.

 

Green spot is really nice would rec

 

I do not like Irish whiskey.

There, I said it.

I am having a glass of Lagavulin 16 because it’s the best surrogate I have.

And I would like to add, in closing, that I do not particularly care for Islay scotch.

Like, at all.

 

Owner from my local store has been in KY picking barrels this week. He's been at limestone branch, makers , lux row, prohibition craft spirits, and spirits of french lick

 

^ all wrong opinions

 

Will always be one of my favorites.

as far as Irish whiskey, it’s just too creamy. It tastes good, but I get sick every time I drink it.

 

Redbreast 12 cask strength is one of my fav whiskeys regardless of style. It’s so damn good.

 

Today’s pick

 

Weird looking hand on that guy

 

Likes fast food my take

 

I am so tempted to buy the older one. I agree. It is a good whiskey.

 

Hey, I’ve had that. I liked that. That’s not Islay though, is it?

 

It’s irish

 

I guess Irish whiskey to me will always be Jameson and Bushmill.

 

It’s produced by Jameson

 

What about Islay do you not like? I went through a scotch stage many years ago, and it was my favorite of the scotch offerings. Switched back to bourbon and haven’t had scotch in years, so I may dislike it now?
