@hajduk great bottle! Feel free to pm me for similar ones

My christmas present (from myself to myself):

[Seul]

So it's wonderfully peated, but is it also wonderfully priced?..

My Seattle haul:

2 gins and 1 whiskey?!  Strange for a whiskey man, but these were the things that I found unique.  What's more, that rye was actually just a liquor store shot in the dark, as I didn't visit that distillery or taste it beforehand.

Got a couple of folks coming over tonight

Clearly Belgian Chav’s are somewhat different to the UK variety.

Easy drinking at 92 proof. They were outta my usual bourbon which is Rowan’s Creek. So I picked this up instead.

Rye whiskey aged in sherry casks

^interesting. I’m not a big fan of “finished” bourbon, but do think that ryes have an opportunity to benefit from a complexity standpoint.

Made some nostalgic purchases this weekend, Wild Turkey was my grandfathers regular drink. Unfortunately we never really got to share a glass, part of the cost of longer birth intervals (and moving away from extended family). The old grand dad has a high rye mashbill which is my preference. I was sick this weekend so no full tasting notes, but suffice to say it’s a full bodied experience.

Americans! My local seller of booze has the following American whiskies (one bourbon, one rye), in addition to the regular JD/Jim Bean dross. Either of them worth a try?

[Jett129]

Funny,I really like the Bulleit Rye,and the Michters Bourbon. If I had to pick one I’d go for the Michters Rye.

[seanocono]

Haven't tried Michter's, but can confirm Bulleit is good for the price.  It's pretty ubiquitous, too.  You can find it in nearly every American bar, so it's a safe order.

[Matty123]

Never had the michters rye but the bulleit is solid. I’d go with the higher proof. I like
The hot stuff though

[Jett129]

If you like the higher proof whiskeys I’d highly recommend the Cask Strength Makers. It’s usually around 110-112 proof.

[neph93]

Thanks gents. Cost is irrelevant as this is Norway and they both cost about $80-90 a bottle.

I know very little about Rye and Bourbon as I mostly drink Scotch blends and single malt, but seeing as they both come recommended by you good people I’ll try them one after the other.
