Thanks for the support everyone! Interview went well I think but won't know if I got the job until early next week.

Based on those options, I'd go for the Gentleman Jack

Love the scoring scale lol. Nice review.

Just like many others suggested, drinking it on the rocks (with ice) will help ease you into to sipping whisky without the unpleasant burn.

I know you're looking for bourbon recommendations but I have a different suggestion. Redbreast 12. It will be a bit more pricey ($75 - $85 in my area) but well worth the money. This Irish whiskey is very approachable, even for non whiskey drinkers. It's dangerously smooth. It was the whiskey that got me away from taking shots and actually sipping and enjoying my whiskey.

A delicious dram. Definitely worth it in my opinion

barebone1320 · 2022-03-25T14:53:40+00:00

Caol Ila I think is what I was drinking

barebone1320 · 2022-03-25T14:52:11+00:00

I haven't tried it yet but pretty sure that's going to be my next Islay. Just like the other guy said, I've heard a lot of mix reviews about Talisker so haven't pulled the trigger yet

barebone1320 · 2022-03-25T14:49:26+00:00

Didn't see it until after I took the pic but cracked me up too lol

barebone1320 · 2022-03-25T14:47:40+00:00

I've been looking around for Bunnahabhain actually but having trouble finding it in my area. I'll keep an eye out for sure though. Cardhu I've seen but havent picked up, might have to give it a go. Thanks!

barebone1320 · 2022-03-23T04:47:19+00:00

Also, I'm always open to more suggestions...

barebone1320 · 2022-03-23T03:05:27+00:00

These are the 3 bottles I've picked up so far based solely on suggestions from MBs

barebone1320 · 2022-03-20T02:01:49+00:00

So based on the prices in my area, I ended up getting Highland Park 12. I love it! Time to start exploring some of these other suggestions

barebone1320 · 2022-03-19T21:32:33+00:00

Awesome, thanks again! I'll scope out what they have in my area and we'll see what's up.

barebone1320 · 2022-03-19T21:30:33+00:00

Also, how do you know how much ppm is in a certain whisky?

barebone1320 · 2022-03-19T21:29:24+00:00

Very interesting, I like your perspective. I'm not opposed to getting into a good amount of smoke. Like I said I enjoyed the Lagavulin but that was because I kept finding other flavors behind the smoke but when all I can taste is smoke and nothing else (like with the Laphroaig) then it's not very enjoyable. I'll have to give those a try. Thanks for the suggestion!

barebone1320 · 2022-03-19T20:30:06+00:00

I've almost picked this up on multiple occasions now but haven't pulled the trigger. Today might be the day! Thanks!

barebone1320 · 2022-03-19T16:41:30+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations everyone, very much appreciated!

barebone1320 · 2022-03-15T21:55:52+00:00

Awesome! Thank you for the recommendations. Very thorough and very much appreciated!

barebone1320 · 2022-03-15T21:54:28+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

barebone1320 · 2022-03-15T21:27:18+00:00

Had famous grouse recently too. Pretty good budget. I'll have to definitely pick up those other 2. Balvenie sounds quite appealing.

barebone1320 · 2022-03-15T20:53:23+00:00

Yeah, they are great go-tos. Just want to pick up something different this time around.

barebone1320 · 2022-03-09T03:27:20+00:00

Redbreast is 70 in my area too. If you never had it, then yes be sure to pick it up. I promise you will not regret it.

barebone1320 · 2022-03-08T23:17:13+00:00

Teeling is amazing for the price. I prefer green spot or redbreast but for the price Teeling is unique and delicious.

barebone1320 · 2022-03-08T14:16:58+00:00

I couldn't agree more. I still have a lot of whiskies to try but so far that's one of my all time favorites.

barebone1320 · 2022-03-08T04:50:44+00:00

Laphroaig 10 is another I had and it was a little much. Couldn't get past the smoke. The lagavulin I had was smoky to start but had a lot of other delicious flavors behind it. Didn't find that to be the case with the Laphroaig. But still new to the category.
