Whisky appreciation

@CoElkHunter - Not usually had in a mixed drink but no one should tell you how to enjoy your bourbon.

I’ve had Blanton’s a few times and enjoyed everything about it except the price. IMO there are many better options that come in below the $100 mark. And there are those of us that remember buying this in the early 1990’s for $25-30 a bottle or less. After the bourbon boom of the late 90’s and into the 2000, the price skyrocketed.

Don’t get me wrong, they deserve their place in the market and they are a wonderful bourbon. I’ve just found more interesting options at a more attractive price point.

Has anyone done some of the bourbon trail tours in KY? I am taking my two son-in-laws there in April. We booked Buffalo Trace and Wild Turkey tours but curious if others have experience or advice on must visit places while we are there.

Maker’s Mark has a lovely campus and onsite restaurant. Willet’s is nice. Angel’s Envy has great story, beautiful tasting room.

I like Glenmorangie Nectar D'Or...now just Nectar, also will not turn down Red breast 10 y/o

I had the Nector at the Glenmorangie distillery last fall for the first time. Simply excellent whisky!

I bought a bottle at the distillery and shared it while stalking red stag in Scotland.

I've purchased a bottle since returning to the US. Yet to open that one. Maybe that will change tonight!

Mostly a fan of Kentucky bourbon!

I got a bottle of 12 year for Christmas. I don't have a palate good enough to tell you all the flavors, but I like it. Good for mixing and a decent sipper.
