Any Whisky recommendations?

@Cigar_Guy97 , way better choices out there for the $$$. Woodford has become way overpriced. Old Forester is a good option for less $$$.

Old forester is fantastic, but double oaked where I am is only about $5 more than old forester 1910 I’ve even seen them the same price. NC has some kind of law where bottles can only sell retail at MSRP

It's a good call, but there are so many good choices out there and better choices for way under 200 bucks

You’re thinking of the double double oaked for $200

I’m a fan of the woodford masters collection…

Blanton's Straight from the Barrel however, is worth the $200. World's better if you like high proof.

Just got a bottle, tastes awsome! thx

You cant go wrong with Macallan 18, specially the sherry oak

Just had a 1920, 115 proof last night. Really good stuff, lots of flavor and nowhere near the burn I would expect from a proof that high.

Four Roses Single barrel is another one that kinda flies under some people's radar. Great sub-$50 bottle and is probably one of the best I've had neat, rocks or even in an old fashioned. Always try to keep a bottle of that in the collection behind the bar for sipping and watching some hockey.

Any scotch is a good scotch, but lately im a big fan of the more isla peaty flavor, like Lagavulin 16yr

If you’re a fan of Lagavulin 16, you clearly appreciate a good smoky dram. For something in a more average price range but still full of character, I’d recommend Ardbeg 10.
It’s peaty, bold, and delivers a great Islay experience without breaking the bank. Laphroaig 10 is another solid pick with that punchy smoke and medicinal edge you might enjoy!

Had them both and yes they are great for the price. For me the more smoke the bettter

Distillers is my go to.

I drink my whisky like brandy, first warm the glass with my hands and then take a good long sniff to breath in the peat and smoke smells.
Then a small drink to roll around my mouth to cover all the taste buds. Then swallow it slowly.
