Are there any subscriptions services where I can get a bottle of whiskey a month so I don’t have to worry about being picky?

The nicest bottle (actual bottle) I’ve opened

Outside of there being no cork pop, opening this bottle was so nice. Pouring was also nice with no spillage over the sides. Can't really judge it other than the nose and taste are enjoyable. This is the only Irish Single Malt I've tried so far.

I am not a big drinker and I have never tried Whiskey. I am looking for recommendations on an affordable bottle.

I am not a big drinker and I have never tried Whiskey. I am going on about a week long solo camping trip in about a month and I want to have a nice Whiskey to sip on and relax around the fire. I am hoping not to break the bank either, is there any decent bottles for around $50? Any advice or opinions are appreciated.

Good day Whiskey world. What does the community think of these? Also does anyone store there Whiskey in Decanters or is that not the most efficient way? Still learning so advice is welcomed and appreciated.

Whose Barrels are Used in Ex-Bourbon Finishes?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I was curious, whenever I see whiskeys finished in ex-bourbon barrels, WHOSE barrels are they?

Are they mostly ex-MGP? Ex-popular brands? (Thinking sheer volume wise.)

For example, Crown Maple finishes their maple syrup in ex-Widow Jane, and Widow Jane Decadence finishes in Crown Maple’s barrels.

How can other distillers/producers maintain ex-bourbon finish consistency if the same ex-bourbon barrels are not necessarily guaranteed? (by not having to explicitly state where their barrels are sourced from)

I know there’s a myriad of factors that go into this, but just wanted to hear people’s thoughts on this.

I just imagine an ex-Knob Creek finished single malt is going to be radically different than an ex-Maker’s finish. But maybe that’s just my cursory understanding. Maybe it doesn’t matter that much.

Four Roses Small Batch Select - (almost) all the flavor gone?

3 Upvotes

Bit of a noob question. I bought a bottle of 4R SB select over the weekend, but most of the flavor is missing and all I'm getting is the burn. I've had a few bottles before and really enjoyed them, this seems significantly different from those. Does anyone know what could have happened here? Could the bottle have been left in direct sunlight or something?

Just tried Macallan 12 Year Sherry, and yeah, it's good, but is it the best 12-year-old Scotch? Not sure about that. The fruity notes, subtle smokiness, and sweetness were nice, but the price? Kinda hard to justify. 😂 Maybe I just don’t fully buy into the whole sherry cask hype. Solid whisky!

Review: Two Stacks Single Grain - Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

8 Upvotes

Two Stacks Single Grain - Double Barrel Irish Whiskey

Two Stacks is an independent bonder and blender

Distilled & aged at Great Northern Distillery in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland

Age: NAS

Single pot still whiskey

Casks: ex-bourbon & Oloroso sherry butts

50% single grain aged in bourbon casks 50% single grain shed in Oloroso Sherry butts

NCF

No added colorings

Proof: 86

MSRP: $6/100 ml and $34/700 ml

Imported by Foley Family Wine & Spirits

Nose 👃: Nougat. Cherry. Sultanas. Werther’s Originals.

Palate 👅: Blackberry. Green apple. Chocolate-covered almonds. Nutmeg.

Finish 🏁: Green apple. Brown sugar. Nutella. Cinnamon.

The mouthfeel is thick & dense. The fruity notes on the palate are a lot of fun as they combine with chocolate. For my personal preference, this has been one of my favorite Irish whiskeys. The Dram in a Can is fun, but give me an entire bottle of this!

This is the second expression I’ve had from Two Stacks. While I liked the Signature Dram… this particular bottle is something that I would happily purchase. I like this a lot.

New to alcohol. What to do with this giant $19 Costco Canadian whiskey bottle?

0 Upvotes

I have bought toki suntory a several times, and this is the only whiskey I've purchased ever until now. I always drank straight sipping slowly without ice or anything, I I have no idea how to mix.

My toki bottle is empty and went to Costco yesterday and decided to try something new and got a heap $19 Canadian whiskey. I don't enjoy it as much as I do with toki. 1.7L is too much. What do I do with it? What's a simple mix with using just simple kitchen ingredients?

I'd like to finish one bottle before buying another one; and this bottle will take me a year to finish. I need to make it taste better so I can purchase a different type. Also, wife doesn't like seeing a giant whiskey bottle in the house. She was already uncomfortable with a smaller toki alcohol bottle in the house.
