I consume far more bourbon and Irish than I do scotch. @pgprescott makes a good comment about color but you have to be cautious with scotch and American whiskies because they can add artificial coloring.pgprescott said:The color of a whiskey can tell you a lot about it. At a minimum it holds many clues. You will search far and wide to find a whiskey that color that was in a new charred oak barrel. Additionally, some of the really dark ones are very likely extra aged and or finished with some variation of wine barrel. Japanese whiskey is scotch but since it’s not distilled in Scotland it cannot be called scotch. 🥃XL BGE

That’s correct! In fact, one of my favorite brands, Dalmore, gets dragged for it. Most don’t add color. 👍🏻🥃Ragingirishman2 said:I consume far more bourbon and Irish than I do scotch. @pgprescott makes a good comment about color but you have to be cautious with scotch and American whiskies because they can add artificial coloring. -
I posted recently about 4R but when it comes to ER I’m not a fan. Only had 1 bottle but it was hotter than Hades to me. Albeit that’s back when it was $22, now it’s like $45. SMHbbracey21 said:
Someone mentioned previously Four Roses single barrel as one of the best bottles under $50. While I do not disagree this bottle is another. Probably 1A & 1B on my list (insert either as A or 
. Problem with Eagle Rare is it’s very difficult to come by in my area. Very rarely do I see it on the shelves anymore.LBGE, 28” BS, Weber Kettle, HCI 7.8 SE Texas -
Wading in here-Four Roses Single Barrel is a great pour for the price. I find Eagle Rare to be even better at around $45 when you can find it. Recent hunting trips (w/o rifles or ammo) have greatly upped my ER stock in hand.Edit as I failed my daily driver-Buffalo Trace.Now, if you are looking to go under $25- Old Forester 100 is at the top of my list.All bourbon tastes are personal so branch out and if you don't like it-cook with it in some fashion.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

It’s not too bad here man. Yeah, warm but have a blower fan working. If I’m drinking bourbon I’m comfortable. 79 on the course today.

lmao, sadly no. Poured down rain, lost interest and just kinda drove around and swung a few times.ColbyLang said:Well, did we shoot a 75?LBGE, 28” BS, Weber Kettle, HCI 7.8 SE Texas -
We missed the rain. Shot 86 in the blistering heat. Triple bogey on 17 don’t help anything!TechsasJim said:lmao, sadly no. Poured down rain, lost interest and just kinda drove around and swung a few times. -

It's funny how bad triples can kill an entire score card. My Friday round ruined a nice card with a triple. Golf is maddening...LBGE, 28” BS, Weber Kettle, HCI 7.8 SE Texas -

But do you have fun? At my age I prefer fun over end results (yet end results can be frustrating--and we pay for it).Ozzie_Isaac said:I golf a 165 and bowl a 72.LBGE, 28” BS, Weber Kettle, HCI 7.8 SE Texas -
I used to, then the guys I golfed with starting betting on every hole and every stroke. I stopped golfing. Sold all my clubs and moved on.TechsasJim said:But do you have fun? At my age I prefer fun over end results (yet end results can be frustrating--and we pay for it).

I can fully understand that. When I play I usually have 3-4 bets going. It gets to be too much sometimes.Ozzie_Isaac said:I used to, then the guys I golfed with starting betting on every hole and every stroke. I stopped golfing.

$1 skins. $3 closest to the hole par 3’s and $5 birdies. 2 tie all tie. Rains, all bets cancel if we don’t finish. Adds up if you playing with a 4 some. Ain’t looking to bankrupt my buddies.TechsasJim said:I can fully understand that. When I play I usually have 3-4 bets going. It gets to be too much sometimes.
back to drinking! Bourbon group meets tomorrow night. Should be an interesting spread, we have a new guy coming as a guest. I’ll be sure to post pics -

That is a very high quality gift bag right there. I'm sure the challenge (at least here in the relative epicenter of bourbon) to acquire such treasures will not be lost.

Was craving an old fashioned at the beach, only had brown sugar to make simple syrup out of so I ran with it. Dang it’s pretty good!
