Whiskey

Mrs. Joegoat got me a bottle of 1792 for Christmas. One of my favorites. I'm not a fan of the new packaging, but delicious as ever!

Nursing the last ounce from a bottle of George Dickel Rye. I may have a glass of McClelland's Highland Single Malt to follow it.

How is it? By chance have you ever tasted the C.R. Hand Selected Barrel (also a rye), for comparison?

It's OK. I have not tasted the other.

Sipping Jim Beam Devil's Cut and then off to bed.

For Christmas, the Mrs. bought me a variety of small bottles to sample. I'm enjoying the adventure.

1st up: Chivas Regal -- 12 year blended scotch whisky. It was quite good. I liked it-- a good first opening.

A night later: Glenlivet 12 year single scotch Whisky Double Oak (greenish label). It too was quite good and noteworthy. It was right up there with the first.

Each of these first two-- worth going for a larger bottle.

Tonight.. a couple nights later.. I'm trying the little plastic bottle of Johnny Walker Black Label.
Afraid I'm not liking this one so much... I taste the sweet overtones and the bit of the char.... and then something that swims of "band aid"... semi-sterile. Not as awful as that Glenlivit Reserve (that tasted like the hallway of a hospital -- it did ok on mixing but ought not to have to be mixed at that price offering).

The adventures shall continue and I will work through the Johnny BLack label sample. The flavor and impression brought me to post about it.

Under the right circumstances it can be the best you've ever had. A nice drink of JWR over ice in a short wide mouthed cocktail glass ...

or in a snifter, or a bar whiskey glass, or in a coffee cup or out of the bottle...well you get the drift...JW Red is good stuff

Is a three fourths full bottle of Johnie Walker Red an appropriate birthday gift?

Asking for a friend.

I would say not, but really it depends on whose birthday and the situation. And the friend.

Admiral Nelson's Black Patch spiced black rum.
My wife got this cheap bottle several weeks ago and hates it. Being the nice husband and rot gut that I am, I've volunteered to drink it.
After several glasses on the rocks, I still couldn't place the familiar taste.
Tonight, it has come together! Eggnog. The nose, the front, and the finish is very reminiscent of eggnog. I typically don't drink spiked eggnog so this is odd, but interesting.

Sipping Jameson

[gaining_age]

Sample from Christmas-- one I was concerned about as I have learned I do not like IPA beer (had a really, really bitter/hoppy to the moon IPA from a bottle once and set it back down with an intention to avoid IPA ever after): Jameson -- Irish Whiskey Caskmates -- IPA Edition..



It's a really nice Jameson and I think the IPA cask pushes it a touch to the sweeter side and back... a curious note and pretty nice taste. Color me surprised and pleased. I'd buy that.
