I like the four roses the best of the 3 so far

OMG

Love this thread. I am a huge fan of brown liquor! Not a fan of Lagvulin 16, however-- too smokey and aromatous. Love Macallan 12 and Redbreast. But I'm no snob. Plain ol' Dewers has made me happy more times than I can count.

They have one finished in a Caribbean rum cask that's solid (Edit: Dewars that is)

If you like that you should try the four roses small batch select. Great stuff

Seconded on the small batch select, but as a life long bourbon drinker (and I think i've popped in here to say this before), Evan Williams is a great cheap sippen bourbon if you like them on the less sugary side. Since it's essentially a rail drink, it gets overlooked by people who have some money to spend and are getting into bourbon since it's so cheap. Even though I have always keep some basil haydens and a couple "new try" bottles around, I almost always go back to Evan Williams as my evening sippen drink.

Also, makers mark is sugary trash.

I’m convinced Evan Williams white label and old grand dad 114 are the best values in bourbon.

I've been on a quest for a Rye that's better than Michter's, haven't found one yet. Nor have I found something better than Oban for scotch

have you tried Stranahan’sColorado Rye? It’s really good medium body whiskey. Nice to sip and not a total waste in mixed drinks (price point wise)
If you love Oban you need to try Kilkerren.

The 12 is smooth. Try to let it open for a few minutes, little splash of water. The 8 is barrel strength and really good. You can really play with the water with that one.

I want to love wiskey - but I have not developed a taste for it straight / rocks.

I have enjoyed and old fashion so I was piqued by Facebook ad for Low and Slow Rock and Rye.

I must have destroyed my taste buds as a kid with warheads or something...

I don't really taste orange, or honey... it tastes like wiskey - but one that I... "like" ? So i guess that's good... I guess all those added things to make it do make the flavor where I like it...but I still don't /taste/ the individual things.

Lots of reviews say it has a harsh orange - like orange liquor added to rye wiskey... I just don't taste it... /shrug/

Hurm, I'll drink it :)

I wish I could make it my daily drinker, as it is a buddy brought me just this one. It was delicious.
