Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Must admit that my whisky intake has fallen of late. Found a new beer shop near where I live so been drinking more beer lately, will get back on the whisky over the bank holiday. Should get a couple of new bottles for my birthday in a few weeks too

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Not the only one... I've been lagging. Can't remember the last time I had a drink. Think I'll leave it for a while.
It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city.

I got pissed on Saturday, the positive side effect is after having a skin full I never feel like drinking for about a weekMicky Quim wrote:I need to cut down, my bingeing is appalling lately

I didn't mind it tbh. I got a bottle before Xmas and it was only £14 on Amazon. For that price I had no complaints.Micky Quim wrote:Tried Jim Beam Double Oaked last night. I wasnt keen

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Getting myself a man cave in September and I'm focusing more on my drinks cabinet that the rest of the room. I'm thinking MacCallen, Woodford Reserve, Bulleit and Blanton's. Any suggestions?

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Some solid choices there. Get a bit of Wild Turkey 101 and Eagle Rare and you're good to go!MultipleJesuses wrote:Getting myself a man cave in September and I'm focusing more on my drinks cabinet that the rest of the room.

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Tried Blantons for the first time last night, really good stuff, but considering it's price of around £45 a bottle I'm not sure it's worth the extra over Woodford Reserve at £25. That said, it is loads smoother than Eagle Rare with a similar flavour.
I'd like to try the Blantons Gold but at £65 a bottle it's in Stagg Jr territory and I can't see it beating that.

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Yes Blantons is a decent drink, but can see your point. I've got a Blantons Gold and it is very nice, incredibly smooth. It depends what you're looking for, Stagg Jnr is a much more serious bourbon and packs a punch (probably a higher abv too). Out of the two for a 'special drink' the Stagg Jnr wins hands down.Aldridge Prior wrote:Tried Blantons for the first time last night, really good stuff, but considering it's price of around £45 a bottle I'm not sure it's worth the extra over Woodford Reserve at £25.

Damn that's cheap! When it's on offer it's still usually £18-£20.MultipleJesuses wrote:Got a litre of Jack Daniels for £13.50 in Tesco on Saturday night. Couldn't believe it.

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Yeah, cheapest I've ever seen. Found it in a town about 40 minutes from my house, somewhere I'd never usually be. Convinced I've found some sort of cheap whiskey twilight zone.Bodacious Benny wrote:Damn that's cheap!

Re: The ToonForum Whisky Club
Pleasantly surprised by the Jim Beam Double Oak. Brilliant for 20 quid a bottle. A bit OTT with the oakiness, if that makes any sense, but it stands up really well in a cocktail. It's still a young whiskey but has some of the complexity of some older aged bourbons.
More interesting than most of the budget bourbons around a similar price.

Buffalo Trace and Old Forester are my go-to bourbons here. great stuff, esp at the price
