Willet is probably not a Bourbon aficionados favorite. But I liked it quite a bit. It has a light Bourbon burn with very minty and Christmas type spices. A cold weather night by tbe fire type Bourbon for sure. Very nice I thought. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Now, let me tell you about this! That my friends is the best Rye I've ever had and it's not even close. Before trying this my top 3 was 1. Bulleit 2. Pendelton 1910 3. High West Rendezvous And Bulleit was a clear #1. Not any more. This stuff could almost be mistaken for Irish or Scotch. This stuff has THE best Rye flavor there is. I got it at a steal under $40, usually around $50 or so. GET this bottle, thank me later. 2 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Found this at hyvee in Kearney. It’s not bad, but for $58 I was expecting better. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 This was much better for $85. 2 Quote Link to comment

Yeah, I won’t be buying more Laphroaig. I stopped there because, after reading thus thread, I wanted a longer aged scotch to try. The Aberlour sold me on that. Quote Link to comment
Calvin Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Feel the same about Laphroaig. I know it's immensely popular, but just not my thing. Way too smoky. And Michter's is SOLID! Will have to keep an eye out for their rye! Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Laphroig is liquid arson, it's overly peaty and lingers in your mouth like an std. 3 Quote Link to comment

I'm too cheap to dump it. I would pick up some bargain scotch with no peat to blend it with. Eventually you'll find it drinkable. I recommend Famous Grouse. A handle is $30 at Wal Mart.

Or...since I've proven over the many years that I can be a sort of masochist when it comes to alcohol....I'll probably just suffer through finishing it off. It will instill in my brain the fact that it's bad. 1 Quote Link to comment
