My average price per bottle is around $95. But lately I've been buying $50 that tastes just as good and in some ways smoother.

Sp3nny Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Abunadh is the king of sherry for me. Cask strength makes the sherry VERY intense. Like almost too much. Glenfarclas 105 would be second on my list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find there is no way a $150 bottle is 3x nicer than a $50. But usually the $150 bottle is nicer. Edited February 1, 2022 by Chris12345 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my $80+ bourbons taste just like trace, or Sazerac or Jack Daniels. My cavehills though....sooooo smooth. I drank so much cheap hooch as a teen and in my 20s that I'm kind of snobby but I'm finding slumming it for flavour is paying off.

Bourbon is odd for me in that bourbon is bourbon. Scotch on the other hand not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I did a tasting once in Tennessee, I found a axe with a 60% corn mash but also a 10% or so carrot mash for extra sweetness. I'll tell ya, you couldn't taste the carrot and the colour and flavour weren't off but man it was sweet. Like a dessert bourbon Edited February 1, 2022 by Warhippy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhippy Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Jaks liquor stores will have red spot, yellow spot, green spot and even a few bottles of blue. Spoke to a local distribution manager on the phone today because I want yellow spot and he's stated the entire BC chain has been waiting on their delivery for months but should be here within the next 3 weeks.

Nuxfanabroad Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Delving into Tullamore Dew, this moment..another first for this whisky-newbie. It's been a hard wk of disappointments, & there's times one needs a few drinks. Yesterday polished off a cheap bottle of bourbon with another Cdn ex-pat bud..just sitting at the park, drinkin' & yakkin'. It's civilized & reasonable..but I'm sure these freedoms are forever squandered back in God's country. Very hard to describe this flavour(the Tull Dew), but it's fairly mellow & smooth. I'd like to try a lot more of the Irish corner, but there's not much selection at the nearby shop. May have to cycle downtown Osaka & have a look around...

To be honest...I'm not actually a fan. I like the aftertaste but the initial is not something I'm super fond of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
