I never thought of it like that. That is an apt description buddy. By God I'll have to try a dram tomorrow with that thought in mind. That's a pretty good analogy. 🍺

Been back an forth the last few nights between the Sherry finish Belle Meade and Rock Hill Farms.

Looking forward to next weekend and the honey Barrel release at Nelson's Green Brier distillery in Nashville. We are gonna celebrate my wife's birthday by taking a distillery tour after getting in line for the release.

How is this? I just saw two different bottles of it here today. Recognized it from the chatter here but had no idea whether its good or not. One was cask strength maybe?

Quite good to me, quite a few others as well. But, some don't like it, everyone's palate is different. I would go for the Cask Strength, but I prefer 100+ proof alcohol. Some say it's similar to the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, I think it stands alone, give it a try, you will l really enjoy it.

They have a handful of various "finishes" Madeira, Sherry, Honey, et al. They finish the 8-12 year old whisky in old Hogsheads and barrels for 5-10 months until they get the desired flavor.

Just finished up the Glenfiddich 18. It was ok but there are better bottles out there for $100.

I just bought a bottle of the “classic” just the standard bourbon, I’ve been really enjoying it so far.

Glenfiddich is trash. They don't know how to make a whisky with a smooth finish. Even their 21yr has that nasty tasting bite.

Yeah, I'm going back to Aberlour and Balvenie, but I'm still gonna give some other suggested bottles a try.

If you're spending $100 per vottle the Glenlivit Nadurra is one of my favorites. Also the Macallan Classic Cuts are nice.

I've been hankering for some Indian whiskey since my trip to India in 2017. They had this cheap little bottle there called Antiquity "Blue" that was dynamite but I can't find any second hand here in the states. Been wanting to pull the trigger on a bottle of Amrut only $40 here at total wine.

Yeah both the Old Monk rum and the beer is awful. I was there on Juhu beach and it seemed our selection at the liquor store next to the hotel was limited, Johnny, Antiquity, and Paul John.

So we mainly went with Antiquity and also plenty of bottles of Kingfisher Strong.
