Scotch/whiskey of the day
I've used the stone in bourbon a friend served me. It worked as advertised and stayed cool for quite a while, but I'm not a fan of chilling my whisky of any type, and I'd never personally do it on purpose, but if you like a cool dram, and don't want it diluted by melting ice, the stones are your ticket.

Has anyone tried Rye whiskey? If so, what's a good one to start with in the $40-60 range?
Thanks!

Thanks all!
Going to give the Templeyon and Knob Creek a try.
I prefer neat, so I'm hoping they stand up well on their own.
Last night was my Balvenie single barrel 15 year. Very smooth with a honey and vanilla finish.

Went with the Knob Creek Rye tonight based on your recommendations (and limited selection at the liquor store). Neat.
Wow! I love this stuff! Spicy, floral, hint of vanilla and a strong wood taste. Very smooth also. I'll enjoy working through this bottle :)
Thanks for the advice guys. I'll have to find another location that has a larger selection so I can keep trying others.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone here recall how much they paid for a bottle of Highland Park 18? I live in Alabama & we pay through the nose for alcohol due to all of the "sin" taxes. Alcohol & tobacco are always popular things to tax if you need more revenue. Anyway, HP 18 is $104.00/bottle here. Normally, I just buy my liquor in Louisiana when I'm visiting my brother.

I've bought it and it was great. I don't remember how much it cost, however. We have plenty of sin taxes here too. I just wait until I can afford it, hold my nose and lay my money down.

Re: Scotch/whiskey of the day
It's my favorite. I love the small differences from one batch to another.

They're what got me to enjoy and appreciate scotch in the first place.
That and Yamazaki.

I just read through this whole thread, and not one mention of Dalwhinnie!? One of my favorites, and I definitely want to pick up a bottle of Laphroiag 10 soon too. You guys are gonna make me blow my budget!
