OT any bourbon or whiskey drinkers?

Typically in a glass, sometimes with one hand, the other times with two.

Seriously, started when I was a consultant and we would all gather in the Marriott courtesy room and one guy would bring a bottle of whiskey. I had always been a clear booze guy but being the follower I am recognized that I needed to evolve. Started out mixing with ginger ale and gradually cut the ginger ale (sorry tomcat). Eventually got to a little ice and the booze. Still don’t go for neat, or peaty scotch though.
I think I'll stay with a nice red wine. Maybe a few gin and tonics Tanqueray and tonic with the rim rubbed with lime - "Summer in a Glass" during the holiday season or any time of year.
 
My favorite place to eat there.

Finally made it to Gear House for brunch on Sunday.
Had the Irish coffee with biscuits and gravy
So good and can’t wait to make it back
 
Macallan is by far my favorite brand. Was up at the casino Saturday night and looked at a 30 year, they wanted $400 a pour. Nope, I got a $40 pour of Glenmorangie 18 instead. I can get that 30 year cheaper in Vegas this weekend.
As it turns out the $400 pour is the going rate everywhere, even Vegas uggh. I wanted that for my bday drink, but no way could I justify that, way overpriced. Macallan has gone the way of the Pappy cult

There's so many good value amazing whiskey's out there I refuse to pay that much. One of my favorites knappogue castle 16.

Good list. Almost impossible to find the last two now. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof is always good.
Nice. Can’t get the dang pic to download but the holidays are gonna be very nice. Gotta a little 8 year old peg leg porker, some new riff, some simple woodford, some Buffalo trace, eagles rare and the coup de grace some Weller special reserve, a special Xmas gift at $300 a bottle.

I kid u not it’s as good as Pappys. Wowsa
 
So friends of mine, who are not bourbon drinkers, won the following liquor basket in a charity raffle this past weekend. Unreal.

I see a Hartman's bottle back there. They've been doing some different small batch variations of their bourbon. I sampled a couple when I was at Matinee in the Theater District in Buffalo a few weeks ago. Good stuff.

I’m going to 9-11 for wings with the boys this Friday. I think we’re going to try to hit Hartman’s on the way back.
 
Nice list and some new ones on there that I was unfamiliar with. I can vouch for the Penelope Architect and have gone through a few bottles over the years. I have never had anything bad from Smokewagon
I just tried the Architect for the first time and can't decide what I think. Taste almost scoth-like at the end. Need some more sips to make final call.
