Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

ATTA BOY, Andrew!!

Here is Johnnie! Johnnie Walker Double Black that is.

February 3rd to March 3rd. I set it outside in my fireplace, so it would be in the shade, but still get all the temperature, and pressure changes to help work on the whiskey in and out of the wood. You can see how the weather has really done a number on the barrel.

Here's a pic of the..... I guess it's whiskey now..... whiskey in my glass and how it's gone from ultra clear to a very nice pale amber. The pic actually shows a bit darker than it really is. The smell and taste is still very much like a moonshine.

Well, lets let it sit for another month!

I have the same barrel aging now, since April last year. I think it's going to need 2 years before I bottle it and go again.

On a different note, I just traded my pappy 12 year for all of these :P

I think that was a very smart move. You have some top end stuff there.

Yea, the guy hooked me up. He traded everything at his cost, which was much cheaper because he buys in bulk most of the time. He wanted to thin his collection and had a guy lined up to trade the pappy 12 for George t stagg. I couldn't say no. The Weller 107 bottles, one is regular one is a single barrel store pick. The tiny sample bottle is a tour of William larue Weller. I've been absent for a while, but I had to catch up on the whiskey and cigar threads lol
