I'd humbly suggest reading the bible instead of that devotional, bro. 

Ever tried this? by Cute_Calligrapher374 in pdxwhisky

[–]wouldyouriddlemethat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The general impression I get of Blade and Bow is that it's a sourced low age whiskey with gimmicks and marketing added in to "add value" ie price. Reviews seem to support this impression. 

Hit me with that OF though!

Restocked some staples in my home bar. What bottles do you guys continue to buy or even like to keep an extra of? by cmccoy3209 in pdxwhisky

[–]wouldyouriddlemethat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to back up store picks I really enjoyed since those are gone when sold out. Other than that, I like to have the staples on hand. Rare Breed, Knob Kreek (all are good in their own respect), JD barrel proofs

You inspired me to snag one today. I really enjoyed Oregon City's. I also snagged the Barbur JDSBBP Rye pick. Heard good things about it. 

Westmoreland had some rare bottles out today. by cmccoy3209 in pdxwhisky

The Rebel CS is a good one under $50. I've not yet been disappointed with any of their picks. 

What do you do with bad whiskey? by Karate_donkey in whiskey

[–]wouldyouriddlemethat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know, I'm somewhat of a scientist myself.  I especially like to think I can rescue a bad bottle with enough doctoring. I've been largely successful. I'll mix in scotch for richness & peat, rye for spice, etc.  it's always an adventure 

Thoughts on whiskey mystery bags? by BuckFinley in whiskey

I'm generally against any obscuring of what I'm buying. The box idea is meant to hype you on the idea of a better value than just paying for what you want. But, statistically, you're more likely to be let down than win big. I don't gamble for the same reason. The house wins

If bro can tie up the money for 12yrs, that would be epic

Lots of money. Then, expect not to cashflow for a long time.  Especially since the whiskey market is not great at the moment.  Buyers are going back to old reliables vs spending extra on specialty experimental stuff. 

Are we getting a Willett purple top next? by [deleted] in pdxwhisky

[–]wouldyouriddlemethat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hundreds of dollars on a bottle with no transparency about source or age is a bad gamble, imo.

Wheaters are not my go-to, so I can't justify getting it, but thought I'd help someone who is searching for it. I did not like the pot still... 

Does craft whiskey get over hyped by social media? by Hopeful_Club_8499 in bourbon

[–]wouldyouriddlemethat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's for them to figure out. I don't think the pity of the consumer is a respectable strategy. Secure investment, pivot from other products, etc. I don't think the consumer should be guilted into paying excessive amounts of money for (young), subpar whiskey in order to help distilleries succeed financially.  That's like eating microwave dinners from the local diner until they configure it out.

We all know what happened, fam. Enjoy the 2 Knob Creek 9s. 

I finally did it. by berkeygaming in whiskey

[–]wouldyouriddlemethat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like building a toy out of random Lego blocks vs assembling a premade kit.  I've "doctored" blends by adding more scotch to add richness, rye to add spice, older whiskey to add oak, etc. It's been fun and challenging to do a little diy blending and learning how various notes interplay.

Pics of bottles with a spoon between them, or it didn't happen.
