I know I'm boring, but I'm back to Gentleman Jack. I keep trying other bourbons and they're tasty, but I seem to be stuck on GJ as a DD.

My BIL poured me a head-shot of something out of a monkey's head with all these ropes hanging around. THEN he showed me the cap with the label. It was called a chocolate rum, but both of us thought vanilla was very strong. Would drink again, not knowing the price he paid.

I smoke cigars on a regular basis, have a humidor packed to the gills at the house.
Smoke a lot of Arturo Fuente, Oliva, and Romeo y Julieta Based on price you might think this is a cheap bourbon and while there is better, for the price, this is hard to beat! ![]() |

Voodoo Ranger IPA. Hoppy and bitter, just the way I like it. But 230 calories per bottle. Yikes. Can't be drinking these too often.

Bought a plain old bottle of Jack Daniels today. Figured I'd try the cheap stuff and see if it makes a good DD.

Nice rack (don't get to say that much these days). Your single malt selection could use some beefing up, but at least you made the Ketel stay at the back of the bus

Over the weekend I found a new drinking buddy and another fine Irish Whiskey - - - Barr an Uisce 1803. I still like the Powers a little better, but this one continues to grow on me with the Bourbon casks imparting a slight sweet, smokey note.

They do however have the Barr an Uisce which is one of my favourite Irish for just the nose alone (though it is overall good, the nose is phenomenal IMO). Though the one I am talking about is the Barr an Uisce - Wicklow Rare. Do they have that down there - if so, give it a shot. I just bought the last bottle I could find in my entire province, so I don't expect to be seeing it again. It moved to the back of my collection so I don't drink it too quickly. EDIT: Ok, there is actually Powers up here - there is the Gold, and then the Signature. Obviously the Signature is the pricier one, but not sure either is the one you are drinking. Any recommendations, tried either? Last edited by Joekerr; 09-04-2018 at 08:48 AM.. |

While I have only tried the Powers John's Lane Whiskey, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I checked a couple of stores around here and unfortunately don't see the Powers Signature Release available at the moment.
For Barr an Uisce, the 180 is available at a few stores, but listed as limited availability, while the Wicklow Rare seems to be readily available. Thanks for the tip on the Wicklow Rare! This will be the next Irish Whiskey I pick up. Here is what I'm able to find in my area: Powers John's Lane Irish Whiskey (Limited Qty): Description - Single Pot Still. Matured mainly in bourbon casks and Oloroso sherry butts. An abundance of earthy aromas, leather, tobacco layers of charred wood, dark chocolate and treacle toffee. Long, smooth finish. Best Irish Whiskey in 2018 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. |
