Since radiation basically blasted my taste buds into oblivion, all hard alcohols taste the same to me...as if sipping a bottle of rubbing alcohol. I can still enjoy my Coors Lites but no more hard alcohol for me.

When it comes to bourbon, start with Evan Williams white label. If you like it, move on from there.

I can see that.

I'm not a huge fan of fire, I like it every now and then, but am more of a smooth guy. TBH, I've been drinking more scotch than Bourbon lately. No reason really, just seems to be what strikes my fancy.

I recently purchased Barrell Bourbon 15 Cask Strength. It is pretty damn good. I probably wouldn't have picked it up for retail at $100, but I've got a vendor buddy that hooks me up from time to time.

$160 and $190. It's my Christmas whiskey. Both are awesome. Picked up a couple incredible armagnac's too but nobody probably drinks those here

Found a bottle of Blood Oath Pact 4. Wasn’t too familiar with this one but seriously delicious.

Hadn’t heard of it either. I happened to be talking to a store manger I particularly trust at a place that occasionally gets in hard to find shit. Mentioned they had a bottle left sqarreld away in the back and highly recommended it so went with it.

Also hadn’t had much rye before and bought some Michters at the same time. Shit is pretty good.

Tell me more about armagnac please. I like brandy a lot but haven’t dug into them all that much. Mostly some decent cognac here and there and what I’ve really liked for the price has been Spanish brandy like cardenal mendoza

I just use an old 4 roses bottle for my Infinity bottle.

I am no expert and am still relatively new to this area. Picked up a
1978 Darroze 40 Year Old "Domaine Le Tuc" Single Vintage Cask Strength Armagnac but have not opened it yet. Was highly recommended by people who know my palate.

Also got a bottle of Dartigalongue "Grand Eau-de-Vie d"Armagnac" Bas-Armagnac
https://www.klwines.com/p/i?i=1353047

This is outstanding. Beyond smooth and the complexity of flavors leaves you noticing something you didn't before with each sip. Highly recommend this one.
