@scooter EC toasted is bomb, def worth it.
If the EC toasted ever shows up, I'll definitely give it a go. Problem is, things take forever to drop here, if at all.

@Tago-Mago , I'd say, it's likely Old Forester may be available to you. The 100 proof would be good for mixers, and depending on your taste, the 1910 and 1920 make for good sippers.
Edit: If you happen to be in the mood for a rye, you won't go wrong with their 100 proof rye, either.

Question: Do brits actually drink their beer unchilled? What about other places?
We try to drink it at the temperature that is best for the type of beer we are drinking. Some warm, some cold.... Drinking a lager warm is enough to make you vomit, but drinking a heavily bodied ale, porter, stout etc too cold is pointless (unless all you want to do is get drunk)....

Personally, I do not have the wherewithal to keep beers at multiple temps. So I keep lager in the fridge and most other beers in a cool pantry.

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked
@Tago-Mago atm here for €39.95

@Jett129 sorry, I didn’t see your request for availability. I mainly try to buy local because we have a spirits store with a pretty good selection of whisky, gin and rum. I’m pretty sure they carry Bulleit, Woodford, Elijah Craig, Knob Creek, Michter‘s, Willett, Buffalo Trace, 4 Roses. Thanks!
-
@Tago-Mago Those are all good. If you told me to pick just one I’d go for the Michters.
-
This conversation has come at just the right time for me (I’ve been itching to place an order for some new bottles and I might add a Michter’s to the list). I’ve already got Irish and Finnish candidates on the list, so maybe something from the new world is needed for balance

@Giles interesting and that totally makes sense. More nuanced that I thought, for sure. I’m partial to darker heavier beers anyway so I might give this a shot. Thanks!
In my youth it was about the buzz only but these days I just enjoy the “art” of the brew or spirit. -
@ARNC michter’s is legit. Haven’t had it in a while but I may pick one up too since you mention it.
-
@WhiskeySandwich thanks for the confirmation - the US*1 bourbon was on offer, so it will be joining a Method and Madness Hickory Wood Finish and a Kyrö Wood Smoke Malt Rye in a few days.
-
@ARNC Glad to hear that. Let us know how you like it. The Michters 10 year old still remains one of my all time favorite bourbons. Sadly it’s impossible to get at an affordable price. They didn’t even have it at the distillery when I was down there last year.
-
Looking forward to trying this.
-
@mclaincausey It’s from NOM 1579, and you shall not be disappointed.

Yah love the blanco, Arte Nom, G4, so expecting a lot from the rep.
