Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Favorite Whiskey

Mighty fine whiskey!!!!!!!

For me its Wild Turkey, Jameson, Dickel.

Maker's Mark

So many good bourbons I don't get to picky.

Lately I have drank Glennfiddich 18, Macallan 12, Makers Mark.

Glenn 18 was outstanding, the Mac 12 a little sweet(port cask?) and Makers is Makers.

I really enjoy the Islays however. A big phenolic whiff of Laphroiag always gets me going. Especially in the rainy cold months.

Jim Beam!!!

I don't usually drink whiskey but when I do I prefer Pendleton.

Love me some Black Label Beam.

Wild Turkey 101 for me - nothing like a little of the kickin' chicken to get a guys mind right.

I lean towards my old buddies Elijah Craig and Mr Jameson. Haven't had near as wide a field of tasting as most though.

#1 Bullet a fine Whiskey. #2 Jack Daniels, #3 Jim Beam.

I prefer Pendleton, I'll also drink Jack single barrel.

I've always been tempted to try the expensive stuff with ages in the title but I was always skert of getting 60 bucks worth of something I couldn't drink.

I get Pendleton at 19.00 a bottle so I don't venture too far off it.

I tried to find some WW when I was Laramie last weekend, but the stores I went to didn't have it. I didn't have time to stop in Cheyenne on the way out... Bummer -- Really wanted a couple of first batch bottles.

I read a story in the Billings Gazette the other day that said they were already sold out?

Thats bullshit. A 1/2 gallon is almost $70 here.

In no particular order I like Pendleton,Tangle Ridge,Snake River Stampede,or 8 seconds.

For everyday drinking I like R&R,or Macnaughton

mathman,

In answer to your question about many whiskies we have tasted, I haven't counted but know I've tried over 100 and probably closer to 200.

Until my mid-30's was a bourbon drinker, but then switched to Scotch for maybe a decade until finally deciding Irish was most to my taste. I still buy a fifth of bourbon or Scotch once in a while, but don't get real fancy with either anymore, usually getting Buffalo Trace or Famous Grouse.

Have tried a bunch of Irish whiskies, especially when we spent 10 days in Ireland about five years ago. Have never had a bad one, but the best to my taste has been Midleton, with Redbreast also good. These days my everyday Irish is the relatively inexpensive Clontarch 1014. We were given a bottle as a gift a few months ago, and both Eileen and I liked it so much we had our local liquor store order some. A little spring water makes it quite acceptable.

Bullshit?

I was wrong - I USED to get it for 16.00 a bottle. Buying so much (demand up) caused the price to rise to 19.00

Here is my crude theory on sipping whiskey(s).

1. It obviously has to taste good, duh...

2. It shouldn't make you feel like chit the next day when you have to go to work or whatever.
And I'm not talkin' about sippin' like a girl on the same drink for an hour, I'm talkin' about drinkin' a little whiskey!

3. It should make you feel good when you are sippin'.
Body and mind brother. You better enjoy it or what's the point right?


Every morning I wake up and thank God that he blessed me with lowbrow tastes.
Right after after that I thank Him for creating Jasper Newton Daniel......grin

eh76 did you happen to be in Kirby on the 1st?

My son got several bottles of the first batch while we were down there.
