Good to hear! Cracking it this weekend for our anniversary.


Were you the one who talked about using lemon in whiskey? I started doing this since I love whiskey sours. The authentic whiskey sours, not the ones made with sweet and sour mix. I figured it was a waste to make even an authentic whiskey sour with mid-grade whiskey so if I had a nicer bottle, outside of my EW or Jim Bean, I'd try the juice of half a lemon in a glass neat with whiskey. I really seem to like it like this! I don't drink all my whiskey/bourbon like this when I have it neat, but sometimes it's a great change of pace, even if it's frowned upon by bourbon fanatics.

No, I am not a "fruit the drink" fan. :)

I prefer most of my drams neat. I keep a fairly well stocked cabinet for when I want variety.

My personal favorites are the Laphroaig Scotches, with a big preference towards the 10 yr Cask Strength and the Triple Wood. Seriously, two of the finest Whiskeys ever bottled.

Yeah, but bourbon and scotch are kinda apples and oranges no?

I'm definitely a bourbon guy, but I tip my hat to Scotch, but I don't know much about it. Same with Irish whiskeys.

I would try any single barrel, to be sure. Even 4 Roses, just to try it. But my experience with the first bottle I tried was so off putting I wouldn't even have considered it until this post.

I'll give it a whirl.

FTR, I think this is the one I had:

This is the small batch, but still blended. Just not my cup o tea...

then youre just nuts. :)

I found the post about putting a lemon in bourbon. I started doing this on my own at times and found I really like it as well. No idea how I came to try it but I definitely enjoy it.

Maybe it's a Montana thing!?

Four Roses is my favorite every day drinker. But so far my favorite overall is Balvenie 14. My gf does marketing and events planning for William & Grant, so I've become pretty spoiled with her unlimited supply of all the Balvenie's and Glenfiddich's of the world. Wellers 12 is money too.

Can't find it anymore now that it's the poor man's Pappy. I haven't seen a bottle on the shelf here in Wichita for over 2 years

That's a shame. I'd say it's uncommon to see it laying around but every once in awhile you can grab one from a Specs here in Houston.

Marry her.


NOW!

Same here. The Weller's 7 year old is a a nice consolation however.

Ready to drink this on the rocks someone teach me how to be a MAN

Huge fan of Four Roses

Definitely lol I don't do the lemon so much now. I've grown to seek out the candy like flavors I enjoy from bourbon. Marshmallows, brown sugar, maple, mint, and oak. Sometimes I'll add ice but lately I'll drink it neat.

I tend to like those flavors as well. Got some good choices that fit that criteria under $50? Best of the cheaper bourbons?
