Help me find a drink

[Rich M]

I'm looking for something easy to sip and savor.

Would like a caramel/vanilla/nut/oak kind of thing.

We primarily drink whiskey/bourbon (Jack, G Jack, 4 Roses, Makers Mark, W Turkey, etc.) and a few other things - brandy is nice but I don't want it that sweet.

Tried a scotch last night and it evaporated in my mouth. Had something else and it tasted like gasoline nasty. Probably should go to a bar and try diff stuff at $10/drink as opposed to $30-$50 a bottle.

Any suggestions?

Local shine?

Crown makes some smooth blended whisky varieties in the flavors you mentioned. If you are more of a bourbon guy, Buffalo Trace Distillery has several good varieties (Buffalo Trace "standard", Eagle Rare, EH Taylor, etc...) 4 Roses has several good varieties including their standard yellow label and small batch, and Elijah Craig's small batch is good too. There are higher priced brands as well, but these are all around $50 and less.

The Templeton Rye 6 year is nice as well if you like Rye varieties.

Bootleg hootch or shine is likely best if you have a connection.

Rowan's Creek Burbon...its a little more expensive than it used to be but still worth it.

Stay away from “town branch”

Was at a scotch tasting many years ago and was surprised by how good Johnny Walker Black is. The guy noted that there's decades-old scotch in there that only leaves Scotland in a blend. Single Malts get all the hype these days... but you might consider it. Has a touch of smoke, but nothing crazy. Enjoy!

Whats wrong with the four roses, MM? or are you just looking to branch out?

Any of the Buffalo Trace wheated bourbons would be good. Blanton's is always a favorite of mine, but over the past 3 or 4 years its gotten harder to find at a reasonable price.

personally keep it simple and don't worry about what others are drinking.

Jack and bud light!

Just looking to branch out.

Liking the idea of a 1 drink night - something to sip on.

Want it to be diff from the whiskey/bourbon thing.
Someone asked - what's wrong with 4 Roses - absolutely nothing. One of my favorites.

Templeton also has a corn liquor that is barrel strength but surprisingly smooth. 110 proof I believe if that matters to you.

An ice cold Busch light will do the trick

Red Breast 12 or Green Spot Irish whisky
Old Grandad Bonded bourbon
Glenlivet 12 scotch
Toki by Suntory Japanese whisky

These are some of my favorites, I only drink my whiskey neat.

My favorites lately are Talisker 10 year Scotch and Knob Creek Rye.

[GSPHUNTER]

Macallan 18 year single malt scotch whiskey. Strictly for sipping.

 

[AK Troutbum]

Colonel EH Taylor, Knob Creek 120 proof, and Eagle Rare are a few more good ones.
