Sippin'

[Ah Pook]

Whiskey Rebellion was last night. There was some sippin' going on. A "few" quick reviews.

Downslope

• Irish whiskey- Good Irish whiskey flavor. Smooth.

• Cask strength- Harsh raw flavor.

Breckenridge
All around favorite collection of whiskey samples

• Cask strength- 129 proof. Smooth with a bite.

• Port Barrel- Hint of port and wood. Smooth.

• Breck. Bourbon Whiskey- Smooth and almost light. Finished the evening with this one, so the taste buds already had a workout.

Whistle Pig Rye- Favorite rye of the evening. Smooth without an overpowering sweet taste.

Dancing Pines Bourbon- Sweet funk. Not worth the trip to Loveland.

Angel’s Envy Straight Bourbon Whiskey- Smokey and smooth. Second favorite bourbon of the evening.

Wood’s Tenderfoot Whiskey- Salida, CO. Heavy wood flavor. Alcohol taste on the back of the tongue.

Dickel Barrel Select.- Surprisingly good. Smooth and smoky.

Peach Street Straight Bourbon Whiskey- Palisades, CO. Tie for favorite bourbon of the evening. Cinnamon, smoke and light flavor.

Leopold- I broke a cardinal rule about never drinking flavored alcohols.

• Apple- Bad

• Raspberry- Vick 44D. Bad

Wyoming Whiskey Bourbon- Smooth and smoky.

Feisty Spirits

• Rye- Heavy alcohol taste.

• Malt- TOO sweet. Skunky.

KJ Wood Blue Corn white dog- Second best white dog of the evening. Worth a trip to Berthoud.

Templeton Rye- Interesting company story. Close second favorite rye.

Hudson Baby Bourbon- Tie for favorite bourbon of the evening.

Larceny Straight Bourbon Whiskey- Good smoky bourbon. Their distillery stable also includes Evan Williams and Elijah Craig. The rep. even knew who Elijah Craig was.

I have some here that someone left from the 4th celebration. I'll tilt one with ya. Welcome back from hell. We do have better bourbon here in not-hell, by the way. Just sayin'.

Tracking like a VCR!! Perhaps we could swap some reloading/lead casting recipes as we sip. Thanks for the invite!!

Breck is my go to. Whistle pig is great but at the cost of 2 bottles of Breck it's tough to justify on a regular basis. Good bottle to have in the cabinet though.

Just bought some Tin Cup since its from the original distiller of Stranahans. Very simple blend of corn, rye, and malt barleys. It doesn't have any depth to taste, definitely could use a few years in charred casks for some smokiness. Very light for a whiskey and easy to sip. Probably due to the rye. Not quite a bourbon, not a white whiskey either. Overall, not too bad, especially for $35 a bottle. No ice needed at 84 proof, plenty of sweetness from the sugars in the corn. I would suggest it for those who are not used to drinking neat and think that Jack, Jim, & Makers are whiskeys (they're mixers). Girlfriend said to give this to her friends so she can keep drinking my Snowflake and McCallan.

Managed to get a taste of this last night.





Normally don't care for Dewar's, but this was really nice.
