Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

Got some. Going to have a bit tonight.

It is Robert Burns Day so we're having a dram of Talisker 10...here's a perfect poem...

A Red, Red Rose
By Robert Burns

O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

Well, a wee dram is in order. Happy Robert Burns Night!

Nice! I really like that one. I didn't drink too much american whisky but I think my top list is the following:

1) Woodford Reserve. (The best Price/Quality and easy to find)
2) Four Roses (I think it was a single cask or some special edition)
3) Knob Creek small batch
4) Bulleit. A warhorse.

Celebrating that I "finished" my first hone

Little Knob Creek and home made BBQ pulled pork. Relaxing at home.

Hey Andrew

Let us know what you think about this bottle. Someone said the 9 year was a bit of fire on the tongue.

Just picked up a bottle of Knob Creek Rye today.
Really, really nice.
This stuff rocks!

When I went to pick up a bottle, all I made sure of is that I didn't grab the RYE, or the single barrel. When I finally got around to trying it, my first sip I could tell it was warm. I remember thinking, "boy that's got some kick." After my 3rd or 4th sip I went and grabbed the bottle to check the ABV.

Wow, 50%!! Next time I think I may try it with some water or ice.

The Knob Creek is good, but I still love my peated scotch. My Forty Creek Confederation Oak is also very hard to beat.

I might like bulleit rye more than knob creek!

And I liked knob Creek a lot. More than any whiskey I've tried to date.
