First time visiting this board in literally years. I like tasting different Bourbons, Whiskeys and Scotch. I would love to hear some of y'alls preferences, recommendations and just general comments.

In the "under $40" category. Costco had a Tennessee whiskey in their Kirkland brand that was very good. i m o. Didn't see it when i was there last week, though.
Picked up a bottle of their Kirkland Scotch that have not opened yet. Maybe tonight.
:wink:
I gave up posting pics here long ago . . Never succeeded.I'm just now getting into Scotch. If you wouldn't mind post a pic of the bottle and let me know what you think about it after you try it. It would be greatly appreciated.
The Kirkland/Costco Scotch i tried is the blend. They also have a single-malt.I'm just now getting into Scotch. If you wouldn't mind post a pic of the bottle and let me know what you think about it after you try it. It would be greatly appreciated.
I've tried the Johnnie Walker Red, Black and Double Black. The double black isn't as good as the Black. The Red is decent considering the price. But once you've had the Black the Red is hard to buy again.The Kirkland/Costco Scotch i tried is the blend. They also have a single-malt.
The blend had was good . . this from someone who goes Johnnie Walker for Scotch. [so what do i know?]
Yeah, that's the "problem" I've run into regarding my alcohol. I'll get introduced to a more expensive Bourbon/Whiskey/Scotch and don't want to go back to what I was drinking.My Wisconsin buddy turned me on to Irish whiskey a few years ago.
Locally, the 12 yr runs about $65, but the 15 yr(my favorite) runs around $100.
After drinking Redbreast, I find it hard to go back to Jameson and other lesser Irish whiskeys.
A first-world "problem", eh?Yeah, that's the "problem" I've run into regarding my alcohol. I'll get introduced to a more expensive Bourbon/Whiskey/Scotch and don't want to go back to what I was drinking.
Aren't those the best kind to have? LOL!A first-world "problem", eh?

I've been trying to find the Weller 12 around my parts. I've heard good things about it.Proud to say I am president of my neighborhood Bourbon club! We have 8 guys and we get together about every 2 months. Maybe more in FB season.
Some of our favorites in the $30 range (at least in Nola) Eagle Rare, McKenna, and the Elijah Craig pictured in the second post. If you can find Weller 12, it’s awesome and a bargain at $30. Poor man’s Pappy - same barrels and warehouse.
My personal favorites are all from the island of Islay (pronounced EYE-la), just off the southwest coast of Scotland.I'm just now getting into Scotch. If you wouldn't mind post a pic of the bottle and let me know what you think about it after you try it. It would be greatly appreciated.
