The Waxhole: Speakeasy & Whisk(e)y Lounge

[GritNGlitter]

Yeah, I definitely prefer rye to bourbon but love them both. Scotch I could just never get in to - too smoky for me!

Not all scotches are smoky! Not even all Islay scotch.

Johnnie Walker green label is a good gateway scotch.

The double black is a really nice one too, probably the smoothest reasonably priced Johnny Walker I’ve had. Glenlivet’s are quite nice entry points too.

That said I’m all for the smoky but sweet and still smooth perfection of Lagavulin

Let’s do this thing!

I need a wood burner. Fires are the best!

Let’s have a wee dram of the Stout Cask next!

Welp, @Joe Mac inspired me to do a thing. I picked up my annual end of dry January reward bottle, this time the ever so elusive Blanton’s.

I was just out picking up the mail and burning wood is all you smell out there tonight... seems like everyone has their fireplaces going.

Decided to go with the Balvenie Doublewood for my first evening drink.

Catoctin Creek Roundstone Rye here.

 

[Joe Mac]

Ah sure it’d be rude not to sample all three!

@kvetcha you were spot on about the single grain, it was really good, the stout cask remains stellar BUT this is special whiskey!

I wonder where @Lee Newman is? I miss drunk @Lee Newman Behaviour©️!

He was looking for the "hot takes" thread last I noticed... "hot taking" drunk @Lee Newman would sure be something. I'd be buying the drinks.

 

[TrainFan73]

@Lee Newman hasn’t had a drink in two weeks.

 

[Turbo]

@Turbo just poured himself a Flor de Cana 12 rum. Lifts glass to @Lee Newman.

Yeah but the price tag for trial and error on scotch >>>>> other whiskeys

I mean Scotch can get very expensive but I can pick up a Lagavulin 16 for the price of the Yellow Spot I was drinking earlier, and cheaper if I buy it in the U.K., and it’s stellar. It’s not like you have to spend £10k on a super rare MacAllen to get to the good stuff.
