Nick, after a statement like that, the only proper response is another trip to the fun store. Bout to give this one a pour at work. Been a PITA last few days
It is interesting -- a blended whisky, but bottled at cask strength. Really curious to see what you think of the Coffey grain. I remember thinking it was quite good.

That is different. I don't think I have ever heard of that before.
I will have to give the coffey a try soon. I remember trying it in a flight and being impressed, but it's been a little while.
Picked this up yesterday on my beer run to total wine. Its very good imo

Wasnt a big fan of that one Jay. I had to take my time with it.

I popped the Nikka and have had a few pours of it. Drinks very much like a bourbon, which is unsurprising given the mostly corn mash. Its on the sweeter side, but not too much.
Pairing it with a cigar I notice a little more of the malty flavor coming through. It's pretty smooth, with a very short clean finish.
Picked up a bottle of Monkey Shoulder last week. It's been a long time since I've had a glass of scotch. I almost forgot how much I enjoyed it. Now I'll have to try some of the ones you all keep going on about.

Monkey Shoulder is a great blended scotch, have a bottle of it myself and really enjoy it. I mostly drink bourbon but about once a month I do a scotch. Got a bottle of Fireside colorado bourbon for Vday from my wife, very smooth and pretty good for a new upstart.

Picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare last night. Thanks to everyone here recommending it. Very smooth. I only had about two fingers worth last night. I'll give it another taste tonight. I'm a Blanton's freak so I was stoked to find this one. Been going through the Buffalo Trace at the hotel room over the past few weeks for a nightly night cap. Not going to waste my Blanton,s on a daily drink. This will take the place of the Buffalo Trace I think.

I love all offerings by Buffalo Trace. It is my family's favorite distillery as my parents live about an hour away. If all goes as planned, my sister will be getting married there in the fall!
