Got 4 bottles of gin for my birthday so looks like I'll be sipping on that for a little while

Apologies, was that you?

$4500 a bottle that I did not try.

^ Can't even see the damn bottle in front of the ice luge. The iPhone 7 better be worth it.

Same here. I really enjoy both the normal Woodford and the double oak

I just cracked open a Balvenie that I got for my bday in June. One of my favorites.

Peated is not my favorite style but I do recommend a few brands that I thought were pretty decent.

Talisker
Highland Park
Laphroaig

If you like peat and smoke try Lagavulin 16

Or just about ANY Scotch for that matter.

Ok, I need some guidance. Which Woodford and which 4 Roses? I picked up the Woodford Distiller's Select Bourbon on the left.

[M_Six]

The Distiller's Select is tad smoky, but not bad. It's about the upper limit of my tolerance for smoke, if that helps with my previous request for recommendations.

I honestly can't do the smokey alcohol any further. It was OK years ago but my palate has definitely changed. Glad you lived it OK.

It's very light on the smoke. Not blatant at all. I like it.

[M_Six]

This is one that interests me. Sweet with a Medeira cask finish.

for the Four Roses, you want the Single Barrel

Thought so. Should have grabbed it.

Ok, I'm seriously liking this Woodford Distiller's Select bourbon. Good stuff.
