Scotch or Bourbon

[BFoe]

I think it was around 46 bucks

Oh that’s not bad at all, I was thinking it was a bit pricier than that. That sounds like a good deal, I’ll put it on my list. You should give the PF a try sometime and see how they compare.

Nice man, I’m planning on picking up red breast, some basil hayden and a scotch this weekend. Probably for when fights kick back into gear

Redbreast is gonna change your life, man.
My advice is start with the Redbreast 12, which is generally between $50-$60, and is sort of the “flagship” of the Redbreast line. I’ve also tried the 15, and the Lustau. All great. If I had to rank them, I’d say:
1. Redbreast 15
2. Redbreast 12
3. Redbreast Lustau

How bout a Rye tonight.

And more of a boxing fan, so I guess I rewatch this with it

Haha oddly enough I’m doing that too! I’m making a Vieux Carre cocktail which has both rye whisky and cognac. I really like that High West! My gf didn’t, she thought it tasted “mossy.” Lol. For my drink I’m using:

I have some Whistle Pig but not that one. Looks good. Is it Spicy.

dude, a decent cigar and a good cognac......

I enjoy it when I have it, it just never crosses my mind. Any suggestions for the next time I pick up some bottles?

Yeah it’s 100% rye so it’s pretty spicy. It’s also 96 proof. So here’s the thing; just like @Zebra Cheeks was on a mission to make a perfect Moscow Mule, I’ve been on a mission to make a perfect Vieux Carre. I like Carpano Antica for my sweet vermouth, and the Pierre Ferrand for my cognac. But that cognac is really smooth, and so I want a rye that stands up to the cognac and vermouth and doesn’t get lost in the drink. This rye works nicely because of the spice and higher proof.

Here’s the drink, btw

Looks Delicious.

Keep an eye out for Knob Creek Barrel Strength Rye. It's bout 60-70 dollars a bottle but is Cask Strength and spice. So it might hold its own with yak.

Expensive scotch>expensive bourbon.
Cheap bourbon>cheap scotch.

I feel like that pretty well settles the discussion.

Cognac. It is hard for me to find the time to smoke a cigar these days.

I like anything Fuente, diesel shorties or nubs

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

but they're typically 2 hour cigars

 

[Billthebutcher]

scotch.
there's a reason they make scotch guard.

 

[Communion]

American wheated whiskey is where all the fun is happening recently. Whistlepig is the standard but things like Willet private stock can give any high dollar scotch or bourbon a run.

enjoying some Islay Bunnahabhain

My absolute favorite, if you can find it.
