The Whisk(e)y Thread

[Bagley]

Had the pleasure of Clyde May's  Alabama whiskey at Little Miss Whiskey's recently.   Made with apples and reminiscent of Armagnac. No liquor store around DC (that I've checked) has even heard of it, let alone carry it.  Ideas anyone?

I had Green Hat gin, which is from DC, for the first time yesterday. Very nice.

I love the Green Hat!  I managed to snag a bottle of their Ginavit which I have enjoyed a bit too well on several occasions

I just ordered the following from Drinkupny. Wanted to try some new brands.

Cacao Prieto "Widow Jane" 7 Year Old Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Ezra Brooks "Ezra B." Single Barrel 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

High West "Campfire" Blended Whiskey (750ml)

Willett Single Barrel "Estate Reserve" Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Wathen's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

[Relaxer]

this order JUST turned up today, more than three weeks later, and missing one of the bottles. pretty sure I'm going to stop ordering from drinkupny, especially because I"m finding other online dealers



still, I'm sitting pretty right now. kinda wish these had shown up later in the week so I could save them for my superbowl party. oh well

Do you plan to drink four bottles by Sunday?

[Relaxer]

Man, Superbowl is SIX WHOLE DAYS from now, plus my friend bill's wife just left him and he's coming over tonight. I don't even think these things will make it to SNL.

[Relaxer]

Also, I'm an alcoholic so that should be factored in as well.

I got a bottle of Wasmund's single malt whiskey from Copper Fox Distillery over the weekend. That stuff was something else. It felt like I was drinking a cigar haha.

Noted... and now that I know you work at NPR, can you get me a job there?

[Relaxer]

Well, you need to be a stoner to begin with.

that campfire is really really good.

I never got my order from November.  Ended up buying Jefferson's. 

[Relaxer]

Yeah, I didn't get my second order of the Forester Birthday either. It's disappointing and the same thing happened a month later with Drinkupny, which is why I won't be ordering from them anymore.

High West "Campfire" Blended Whiskey (750ml)

is this distributed? or special order only?

went to radiator whiskey last night in seattle. incredible place, great food.  did a local flight with three different distilleries: oola, mischief, and westland.  all three, not so bad, and particularly a fan of the mischief john jacob and oola 100% rye.  westland just opened, and while it didn't blow me away, it was a great pairing for the beef brisket.  apparently they have a very unique distillery, similar to scotch distilleries i'm told, and i'll be touring it in a few weeks.  i'll report back
