OT any bourbon or whiskey drinkers?

This is the answer right here. I know when I went to Buffalo Trace and tasted they had us swish around the basically moonshine (can't remember what they called it) in our mouths first. After burning the mouth a bit you really could taste the flavors of each bourbon.

I started with ginger ale way back, but now only ever "mix" it in a manhattan or old fashioned. Neat or a small splash of water is where it is at for quality bourbon.

I pour the good stuff over a large rock and let the ice do its magic.

The raw unaged distillate is called white dog.

No mix ever for good stuff. Splash of water or one or two little cubes for me. This thread always entertains and gives great info.

Just got back from a trip to Scotland. Great trip overall, plus I got to visit eight distilleries! Came home with three bottles.

Best part was I got to turn the malt at Dunphail distillery!

Went there in the before times. Great little place, awesome in the summer when they open it up. Excellent cocktails, but I don't even know if they have their own whiskey or bourbon. Saw a zydeco band there of all things. Great time in a great setting.

My wife and her best friend went there yesterday. Hoping she brought me a bottle home.

How was it? It burned down a couple years ago and was rebuilt. Haven't been back since it reopened.

She said it was great. Wife had a couple of cocktails she enjoyed.
