On my way home to eat wings pick out a bourbon and Watch the SEC Roll on!!! Hard to choose but I have narrowed it to Baker's, Woodfords Maple Finish, or buying something new.

Best part of those choices is you can't go wrong

Me and Baker had an excellent evening watching a damn tight championship game.... War Eagle..... damn that hurt.

We were sipping on some wonderful Woodford Reserve last night for the game. And of course a few smokes as well.

I like those glasses that came in the Woodford giftset. I picked up a couple different sets myself just because I wanted the glasses; didn't get the Woodford though.

What do you guys prefer, Buffalo Trace or Willetts?
Haven't had the Willetts, but don't want to fork the cash 1st tasting.

The Willett I've had has been flat out good stuff.

But if price is a concern then under $25 you'll be in good company with;

BT, 4 Roses SB, EC12, Weller SR.

They are nice

Been wondering about the Willett. Nice bottle. My sister's store in Tennessee has it in, and I have been thinking about getting her to hold me a bottle. Think I'll tell her to go ahead.

Well here goes. Couldn't resist trying.

McSmokey · 01-14-2011, 08:30 AM

I attended Whiskey Fest in San Francisco last October...great event (even though it was taken over by Shanken). Had the chance to sample lots of Scotch, Bourbon, Whiskey and Whisky.

Highlights were the Glen Rothes line and the opportunity to sample some of the best of the Pappy line.

However, the biggest highlight was meeting Master Distiller Lincoln Henderson of Woodford fame. He is the genius behind the new Angel's Envy...truly some tasty stuff!

Here's a quick write-up

Can't wait to get my hands on some

JohnnyFlake · 01-14-2011, 11:14 AM

Has anyone tasted the Angel's Envy Bourbon yet?

If so, what are your thoughts?

Is it pricey?

McSmokey · 01-14-2011, 11:49 AM

Never heard of it but it sounds interesting probably not available here

warren G. · 01-18-2011, 02:52 PM

Find a new shop and wow they had a great selection.
I was curious and ask if they had any Pappy van winkle 15 or 20. Guy went into the back and got me the 20....

Ferrari5180 · 01-19-2011, 09:33 PM

I am drinking Elijah Craig 12 and it is mighty fine

Jealous. Pappy isn't offered anywhere near me as far as I've found. Hoping to score a bottle when I go to Atlanta in February.

Tonight I picked a bottle of Rebel Reserve going to let it sit until tomorrow night any thought on this one?

warren G. · 01-19-2011, 10:19 PM

Awesome good luck man.
