I’ve had Skinsfans1311’s at the tailgates. Just don’t like salmon.
-
Sue loves those. I don’t like salmon though.

Yes tell Karla hello, we miss you guys!!! You know it’s some good whiskey when you’re stuffing actual food into your pockets!!!
-
That’s supposed to be amazing.
-
Something Proper, but it’s out of business now. Covid killed it. The GTS was 144. We will do some more kitchen drinking when we are clear of all this crap.
-
Remember the game Dfitz and Karla were at where he first tried GTS? He was a whiskey drinker but not used to high proof, high quality spirits. He drank a LOT of GTS because it’s so smooth compared to the proof. He didn’t wake up until after halftime. He was banned from the back of the truck from then on.

She’s actually the real drinker. Loved the GTS neat.

Mellow Corn has a nice diesel taste if that’s your thing. Most likely the worst whiskey ever made. Buy at your own peril.
-
This pretty much. Once you mix it doesn’t really make much difference in taste. Just get the cheaper stuff.
-
All you Marylanders, the Navy Exchange now has Blantons for 42.99 a bottle if you’re interested.
-
But my motto is life is to short for cheap bourbon!!
-
Damn ruffians giving refined whiskey drinking a bad name!!
-
Also just as a general primer in drinking high proof spirits, you’re first glass of the day will give your palate an alcohol shock. It will be hot and you won’t pick up a lot of flavors. When we pick barrels we taste like 6. The first one we always come back to after trying them all because it doesn’t get a fair shot being first.
-
The ones I listed above aren’t expensive and are very drinkable with some ice.
-
Start with a little ice. Then transition to neat. That’s the route most people go. McKenna 10 Year Bourbon Pikesville Rye Angels Envy Bourbon Old Grandad Bourbon. Woodford Rye
