Can't get it up here north of the border but, through a wine distributer I am able to order a case. Would like to hear from someone who knows their stuff and has tried it before I order.
Since radiation basically blasted my taste buds into oblivion, all hard alcohols taste the same to me...as if sipping a bottle of rubbing alcohol. I can still enjoy my Coors Lites but no more hard alcohol for me. [Reply]

When it comes to bourbon, start with Evan Williams white label. If you like it, move on from there.
I can see that.
I'm not a huge fan of fire, I like it every now and then, but am more of a smooth guy. TBH, I've been drinking more scotch than Bourbon lately. No reason really, just seems to be what strikes my fancy. [Reply]

I recently purchased Barrell Bourbon 15 Cask Strength. It is pretty damn good. I probably wouldn't have picked it up for retail at $100, but I've got a vendor buddy that hooks me up from time to time.
$160 and $190. It's my Christmas whiskey. Both are awesome. Picked up a couple incredible armagnac's too but nobody probably drinks those here [Reply]

Hadn’t heard of it either. I happened to be talking to a store manger I particularly trust at a place that occasionally gets in hard to find shit. Mentioned they had a bottle left sqarreld away in the back and highly recommended it so went with it. [Reply]

Tell me more about armagnac please. I like brandy a lot but haven’t dug into them all that much. Mostly some decent cognac here and there and what I’ve really liked for the price has been Spanish brandy like cardenal mendoza [Reply]

I am no expert and am still relatively new to this area. Picked up a
1978 Darroze 40 Year Old "Domaine Le Tuc" Single Vintage Cask Strength Armagnac but have not opened it yet. Was highly recommended by people who know my palate. https://www.klwines.com/p/i?i=1366654
This is outstanding. Beyond smooth and the complexity of flavors leaves you noticing something you didn't before with each sip. Highly recommend this one. [Reply]
