I have tasted some very good (but not legal) shine. It is not all bad stuff.

I'm just polishing off a bottle of Wiser's Small Batch this evening. Good stuff, very much a "Bang-for-Buck" Whiskey (Cost me about $30 for a fifth). Very much for those who like their whiskey to have a spice and oak flavor with a bit of sweetness throughout.Have You Touched Grass Today? If Not, Please Do.

I was hoping to like the JW Double Black, but I thought it was meh. I think maybe one builds up some resistance to smokiness. Some that used to seem smokey to me are no longer as smokey as I remember them.אָכֵ֕ן אַתָּ֖ה אֵ֣ל מִסְתַּתֵּ֑ר אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל מוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

I've had a couple new acquisitions since my last post here...
-Glenfiddich 15-year Single Malt Solera: Good stuff. I've had this bottle for a while, but this was for a special occasion (namely, when a buddy of mine came down for his birthday visit). Fruit and honey galore.
-Forty Creek Copper Pot Reserve: If you like toffee and spice, this is a good sipping whiskey. I've heard adding an ice cube really changes the flavor, but I'm one of those "Neat or Never" kind of guys.
-Knob Creek Bourbon: It's a major tossup between Buffalo Trace and This one for my "Bourbon of Choice." BT is a couple bucks cheaper, but KC seems a little bolder and more well-rounded. It's a tough call...Have You Touched Grass Today? If Not, Please Do.

Knob Creek is a little too "burny" for me to sip. I do enjoy it as a shooter, though. If you're a fan of Buffalo Trace and Knob Creek, I highly recommend Four Roses Small Batch.
I picked up Monkey Shoulder yesterday. I haven't had Scotch in over a year and I found it to be quite delicious."Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it.

Sadly, it doesn't look like Four Roses is one of the bourbons I can get here in Saskatchewan.

My son bought me a bottle of Hunter Rye. Says it's imported from Canada. I like it! It's very smooth for an inexpensive Rye Whiskey, with a slightly sweet finish. I must admit, I've never tried a Rye Whiskey before. I remember when I was younger, my Dad said he didn't like Rye so I guess I just went with his opinion."What has the Church gained if it is popular, but there is no conviction, no repentance, no power?" - A.W.

Since I've been on a Buffalo Trace Distillery kick, I also picked up some Eagle Rare and Old Weller's. Haven't tried the Eagle Rare (maybe tonight), but I was pretty disappointed with the Old Weller's. I realized up front it was 107 proof, but it was still much rougher than I expected, specially for a wheated bourbon. Pretty short finish, too. I'll try it again (since I hate to waste a whole bottle), but definitely not my favorite. May have to add Old Weller's Antique to the (short) list of BT Distillery stuff I don't like, alongside Stagg Jr (which, at 134 proof, it's just a bit much).
I've read some glowing reviews of the W.L. Weller 12-year, so I was hoping for better. Still haven't got my hands on the 12-year yet."If you believe, take the first step, it leads to Jesus Christ. If you don't believe, take the first step all the same, for you are bidden to take it. No one wants to know about your faith or unbelief, your orders are to perform the act of obedience on the spot. Then you will find yourself in the situation where faith becomes possible and where faith exists in the true sense of the word." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship
