Well, y'all, what you be drinking 'sevening (this evening)?

[thomas15]

Ritt BIB and KC120. the ritt mostly just to get rid of it, its not appealing to me much at all, but it does make the KC120 even more enjoyable!

I work in NJ. I don't see Ritt at the PA LCB but in Phillipsburg NJ I see it for $30.00 which I think is high. I can get JB Rye for $17.00, Bulleit $23.00, Old Overholt $19.00 and WT Rye $21.00 ....all cheaper. What is the big attraction to Ritt?

I finally decided to act on the fact that I have never had a single malt scotch. So I took a break from Bourbon and picked up a 375 ML 12 yr Glenlivet. I don't really know what to say. I asked a few at work for opinions and read a bunch of reviews but in the end it came down to the fact that the PA LCB had only 1 or 2 selections in single malt small bottles with an age statement so Glenlivet it is. So far so good. Drinking neat in a Glencairn. Not offended by the brew but it doesn't have the flavor of much of the contents of my bunker. Practice maybe?

I thought the glenlivet was really blah (i cant taste lots of stuff like most of you) i think thats just the way it is,if you want something really strong/different try laphroig 10.most people say its a love or hate thing though haha,i hated it at first but after a few trys i started liking it.

now i think i'm going to have some laphroig 10

Glenlivet is a great starter, now then you should try a base line islay like laphroaig but i would recommend bowmore 12 it has a milder peat flavour than say laphroigh. For a next step highland try glenmorangie 10, aberlour 12, balvenie 12, highland park 12.

A good islay is ardbeg 10 year old, mean and focused you will not find it lacking but compared to glenlivet it is night and day. Tonight i had me some ardbeg 10 in my tulip glass with 1/4 of a teaspoon of water added to my taste and i am even more in love.

i guess its just priced odd for some reason. its $25 here, Overholt is about $12 (about $12 overpriced), JB rye about $15....

i dont see much about it that makes me want to buy another, but it was a must-try on my bourbon education. I have to say though, that id probably not think it was a straight rye had I not seen the label.....it tastes like a rye bourbon. still, just not my thing

Having some Wild Turkey 101, very nice, kinda surprised me as well.

[393foureyedfox]

ezra 7/101

After 3 evenings of Glenlivet, I tried it (Glenlivet) followed by a nip of Knob Creel small batch. There is a hugh difference. The Knob Creek really hits you upside the head in comparison!

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to check out the offerings at the Bourbon Street in Phillipsburg NJ either tomorrow or Friday and see if I can't get an Islay to try that isn't to expensive.

[GBrough]

Try black bottle or islay mist 8 year, it is a blend but the cheapest i know are laprhoaig, bowmore 12,bunnahabhain.

Tonight I'm thinking, thinking,....I guess I'm going to have some,.....Old Forester Signature.

If a person has questions about scotch it is better to ask them than to waste 50+ bucks. Still if the person has any questions they can PM me.

Thank you I didn't mean to offend anyone and didn't think I might be breaking the rules

[GBrough]

I dont think it was breaking rules, but this is a bourbon forum first. I would rather have someone ask a million questions than waste 50+ plus dollars on a bottle of whisky only to find it was not for them.
