I am going through a bottle of Elijah Craig and Old West whiskey. Both are great. Actually Old West was surprisingly better than I expected. It was very smooth. Dont hate me but I drink my whiskey on the rocks. But a few cubes at a time. I like how the flavor changes as it you drink it.
But my go to is Woodford Reserve.
I do some of my best drinking in the back yard smoking meat. It always is a good day that way.
I like all types of good Whiskey!
Single Malt Scotch: Lagavulin , Glenlivet, Macallan.
Irish Whiskey: Red Breast
Bourbon: Pappy Van Winkle ( ya right! yes I have had it... even bought a bottle some years ago when you could still get it ;) ) W.L. Weller,
E.H. Taylor Bonded Single Barrel, Angels Envy, and my everyday go to best buy for the money..... Buffalo Trace.
I've yet to do a naked whiskey tasting but it sounds like a lot of fun!
Now naked rum ... well that's another story....
I'm about to start just under a month's whisky and whiskey tasting. A good friend (and fellow nudist) gave me an advent calendar with a different dram for each day.
Now I've just drunk the dram for 19 Dec. Here are my tasting notes (very subjective scores out of 20). I list them in date order starting 1st Dec. 1 Tullamore Dew (Irish) 18/20. 2 Ka Va Lan (single malt) 16/20. 3 Glenfiddich 15/20. 4 Cardhu (my normal tipple) gold reserve 18/20. 5 Four Roses Bourbon 12/20. 6 Glen Scotia Double Cask. 7 Dubliner (Irish) 8/20. 8 Glengoyne 14/20. 9 Tullamore Dew 10/20. 10 Shackleton (blended) 7/20. 11 Elements of Islay 6/20 (probably too peaty for me). 12 Rebel Yell (rye) 14/20. 13 Teeling (Irish)7/20. 14 Jim Beam devils cut (Bourbon) 11/20. 15 Monkey Shoulder 10/20. 16 Pike Creek (Canadian) 14/20. 17 Bulleit Frontier (rye) 17/20. 18 Haig Club 16/20. And 19 Jim Beam (Rye) 17/20. Sorry if I gave a low score to your fav tipple. As I said it's subjective and it's a matter of my personal taste. You will like ones which I might not appreciate fully.
