Most Scotch I Don't Care For, Either. Sick For Two Days When I Chugged 16 OZ. At Once On A Dare During My Graduation Party From Anesthesia School!

Anesthesia from Anesthesia. Nice.

I drank a pint of Cutty Sark on New Year's Eve when I was 17. A shame I ruined myself for (allegedly) good booze on bottom shelf crap.

Snagged these today.

Had a taste of the Connemara the other week, Buffalo Trace nothing new...and Howler Head... I kept seeing it advertised on UFC...so since the lady and I are watching some UFC on the big screen tomorrow, I snagged it.

I'm conflicted when it comes to Connemara. I'm a big fan of Irish Whiskeys...and also of Scotch including the real peaty ones. So when I have Connemara I'm thinking "I want Irish whiskey. If I wanted peat I'd get an Islay Scotch. Are you not confident enough in your whiskey to let us try it without the smoke?"

Ultimately I tell my inner monologue to STFU and I just enjoy the hootch.

I went to a Super Bowl party and almost brought a bottle as a joke.

When I got there, he already had one, mostly gone.

CigarSquid · 03-05-2022, 09:16 AM

Did you try it? I am a bit curious on it.

Not even on a dare...

CigarSquid · 03-05-2022, 09:31 AM

Banana? Whoa. I tried Screwball where I get my hair cut. Flavored whiskey is not for me.

CigarSquid · 03-05-2022, 05:49 PM

***UPDATE*** Howler Head-

It is good to me. A little on the sweet side to have it by itself, but once I find something it goes with, I wouldn't buying another bottle...

icehog3 · 03-06-2022, 11:10 AM

When Howler Head grows up, loses the sweetness of youth, and has its big boy balls drop.

I'm fine with the very slight banana that comes naturally from a nice high proof Jack Daniels or Old Forester, but I think that's about as far as I go down that road. I did buy Traverse City's cherryfest kit this past year which came with 200ml each of a 70 proof cherry infused whiskey and their barrel strength (110 proof), those didn't suck. The 70 tasted like cherry water and most of it ended up in a batch of cherry old fashiond's, the barrel proof is actually decent and is still sitting on the bar

All Of These Sound Like Flavored Cigars.

Booker's Is Still #1 For Me!

Not much activity in here lately, so I'll fire it up again. Had some Maker's Mark Cask Strength earlier, now I'm having some WT101.
