I posted Old Heaven Hill back on the first page. That poo poo literally tastes exactly like Jack Daniels and is eight dollars a bottle. This coming from someone who drank a fifth or more of Jack every day for a solid year and a half.

Ugly In The Morning posted:The price-to-quality ratio of Evan Williams really can't be overstated. Especially if you're mixing it, but it's still as good or better than Jack for 10 bucks less.

And I can also buy a bottle of california-made sparkling white whine which definitely can't be called champagneTM. Jack Daniels is officially Non-Bourbon American Bourbon-Style Tennessee Whiskey I guess. Because of the Lincoln County Process. Because NAFTA says so. Blah blah blah.

Leperflesh posted:Yeah. And I can also buy a bottle of california-made sparkling white whine which definitely can't be called champagneTM. The legal definition of Bourbon includes Jack Daniel's. It's a majority corn spirit aged in charred oak barrels. You just don't call it Bourbon, because it makes you look dumb in front of whiskey nerds, and Tennessee Whiskey makers prefer you to call it Tennessee Whiskey. They're very proud of the Lincoln County Process for some reason. VvVvVvVvV It would preclude it from the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey standards, besides obviously not being from Kentucky. That's the definition that people informally attribute to the solitary term "Bourbon". It's definitely more strict than the Federal definition. That sort of common knowledge is going to change as the distilling boom in the U.S. continues, and more distillers put their own spin on Bourbon.

HP18 is a great, great, whisky but the price tag is now £100 compared to around £75 for Bunna 18 or Laphro 18 which sucks. if you like islays really p much every single malt of any age is a worse value proposition than laphroaig (not that I'd exclusively drink it)

That being said, I still really enjoy Bowmore 12. I think my next Islay will be their 15 year old sherry cask.

nah Bowmore 15 is really good, it manages to be really peaty and really sherryey at the same time and is a really fun drink. The 18's pretty boring. Like, it's a good whisky i guess, it's just not interesting to drink so it doesn't get dranked I inherited a bottle of 15 and a bottle of 18 when my girlfriend's dad died, he got a set of three bottles for his birthday and only made it through the 12

I moved several years ago and was given a bottle of the bowmore 15 and 18. Both were good but neither were definitively different enough from the 12 imo, so I just buy the twelve.

Laiphroig (sp?) is my favorite. Its a tad salty and tastes like the earth. Glenfiditch isnt bad either. Jamesons for everything else.

Macallan or Aberlour. Glen Breton Ice for something unique: single malt whisky aged in barrels that held ice wine.

Drinking McClelland's Highland at the moment, it's not bad, I like it more than the 12 yr Chivas (which I think is the bottom shelf Chivas).

My lagavullin 16 is for special, but I've been through a whole bottle of Caol Ila in the time it's taken me to get through maybe a third of a bottle of all my other bottles (which is I guess like 8? bottles) of scotch. Even though I think my Aberlour Abu'nadh and my Lagavullin 16 are "better" I tend to save them for special because they're special, whereas I can always get another bottle of Caol Ila for not too much cash. So yeah Caol Ila.

For the Whiskey fans try Redbreast 12. It still contains that creaminess generally associated with Whiskey but is a lot smoother than Jamesons or Tullamore Dew.

ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:loving christ I hosed up a little there bunna 18 don't cost much more than £65 (which is nice) but the HP price is real (£95 at their own webstore). In addition Douglas/Hunter Laing have apparently decided to squeeze out the last of their customers' disposable income. Crazy prices in both old malt cask and directors cut ranges for the past year or so, suddenly vintage Caol Ila costs like an Ardbeg while of course a vintage Ardbeg costs like a trip to the moon, €500 for a 1991 and g&m or some other big bottler followed suit with same year same price t  tttttttquote:Laphroaig Select is aged in a combination of Oloroso sherry butts, American white oak (we suspect some of this is virgin oak), hogsheads seasoned with Pedro Ximenez, quarter casks and first fill bourbon casks.
