The +1 likes another one I haven't heard of before - Jefferson's Ocean. One of the bottles of Four Roses is a special engraved one he got at the distillery when he and the team ran the Bourbon Chase this year. Found out after I posted above last night that my niece gave us a gift certificate to the local restaurant with all the bourbons - it's called Barley Mac.

You guys must not be drinking the right scotch.
The macallan that I like has reached the age of consent, and is 18yr old, although I prefer them older but they are well and truly out of my price range.
On the flip side my consumption rates border on teetotaler.

I have always liked scotch better than bourbon; but lately I have been enjoying Templeton Rye.

I drank Jack and water when I was in the Navy. Not much anymore. It is good for a cold with hot tea and honey.

More years ago than I care to think about, a Ford Dealer friend in North Carolina introduced me to a sour mash called George Dickel #12. It was originally sold in powder horn shaped bottles (that I really should have saved). Haven't been able to find anything I like as much since.

Do you do Japanese whiskey. Some of that stuff costs thousands.
Ahh, Blantons. When I was into bourbons, that was my favorite.

I like the 12 better than the 18. Saves me $$.

Not me. To me, Blantons is too..........refined, I guess. It's like they refined all of the character out of it.
