Rye Whiskey

Dramming on this fine Friday evening:
Knob Creek Cask Strength Rye.

Barreled in 2009
119.6 Proof
surprisingly smooth for such a high proofer.

This one can get you into trouble if you aren’t careful!

I'm good with Wiser's Deluxe. A good staple as far as whiskey...especially rye whiskey is concerned.
I won't touch Canadian Club. Pure rot gut.

OTOH I'm still a Goslings Black Seal rum drinker...but lately it's been Wiser's rye whiskey.
I kinda grew up with scotch though here on the east coast of Canada. The cheaper, the better. Teachers was a favourite.

Teacher’s is my go-to scotch. Can!t say I’m enough of a connoisseur to note specific flavors, but I just love the way it tastes. Been too long since I’ve had much anything hard these days. Need to stop the beer and get some hard stuff back into rotation.

Teacher's. Cheap, and yet a very high malt content for a blended whiskey.
A bottle a night when I was a young airman. Not braggin'. Just a shameful retrospective observation.

Daaaang. Been there. Back in the “good ol’ days” a buddy and I had a shot-for-shot drinking contest. We each drank about 1.5 bottles of whiskey and some rum. We were out of booze. Neither of us felt drunk by any stretch, but we knew better than to drive or try and get more. Try that today, and I don’t even want to know how I’d do. After about 4 drinks these days I’m feeling it more than I’d like to admit.
