Any interest in a pinned whiskey thread?

[Cortez88]

Some whiskey talk in another thread sparked the idea. Using whiskey generically to include the scotch and Tennessee varieties.

I’ll start with my weekend sipper. Heaven Hill bottled in bond 7 year. Probably a bit overpriced at $47, but I got it during a 25% off sale. Very tasty and easy drinking even with the proof. Won’t blow you away but you can pour a glass for anyone and they will like it. It’s a new one here on central Indiana shelves. Not sure I’d pay full price, but I’ll buy it on special.

Get in line. I’m trying to get the Dream Team thread pinned.

Yeah, but this one is interesting.

Yeah, but this one is interesting.

I’m secretly cheering for yours to get pinned first. Don’t tell my teammates.

My old college group gets together with Yukon Jack because it is cheap which was important 40 years ago. Anything else is just a toddler's juicebox.

Mods could I have Marvin blocked from this thread? TIA

Except for a bloody Mary or Margarita, I stuck pretty much to beer and wine.

But I do cook with bourbon and rum. Bourbon especially makes a great add in to all kinds of dishes and baked goods. Bourbon and fats go together, so I put it on salmon, and add it to stir fry with oil or butter. I put it pancakes, breads etc, but reduce it first. Rum cooked with sugar and vanilla makes a great topper for fruit, ice cream, plain cake, etc.

Yes, brands with lots of marketing can be over priced.

If you adulterate your bourbon with Coke

Even these choices are a waste of good money

Move over craft beer. Bourbon is the new millennial hipster juice.

I’m hanging on to a few of the old 14 year single barrel store picks that drink as good as many whiskeys that are 5x the cost. Damn shame they only do the store picks in 9 year now.🙁
