RedDenver Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 The gal who reccomended it said she has a few guys come in and love it. I was not one of them. Gimme Chivas or Glenlevit over that liquid arson any day and twice on Sunday. I recommend trying Aberlour. I find it smoother than Glenlivet. Quote Link to comment

Now that's a reccomendation I'll take Couple other things that veteran scotch drinkers have taught me is to not use ice cubes (cold dulls your sense of taste) and to put a "thimbleful" of water in your scotch to "open it up". I thought the splash of water idea was ridiculous until I tried it. I don't know how to describe how it "opens up" but it does make a difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Saunders Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Help me out, I swear I remember seeing something about a new Omaha/Nebraska made bourbon within the last couple weeks. Anyone know what I'm talking about? Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I picked some of this up last night but haven't tried it. Has anyone tried this bourbon that is made in West Point Nebraska? Quote Link to comment

Xmas32 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I've been partial to rye whiskeys for a while and have been drinking lots of Michter's lately. Goes well neat, with an ice cube or in a Manhattan. I'd advise buying it through a website like winesearcher so you can avoid getting crushed paying Spirit World prices which are typically 30%+ more expensive. HyVee unfortunately doesn't have that great of a bourbon selection although I've really only checked out the two HyVee locations that are close to me. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Enjoying Red Bush right now. Has a sweet/fruity aroma. Subtle hint of fruit sweetness with a slight spice aftertaste. I may like it more than regular Bush, and MUCH better than Black Bush IMO. I really enjoy Red Bush. Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 A guy I did a favor for is going to give me a bottle of Crown Royal XR I’ve never been much of a Canadian Whisky fan (more of a bourbon guy) but this stuff sounds like it’s pretty good and it sure is pricey. Should I be excite? @NUance ? Quote Link to comment

RedSavage Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Had some of this the other day and was surprised by how smooth it is. Very reasonably priced too. Quote Link to comment
