What Whiskey, Rum or Cognac are you drinking today.

its not bad and so is the price point. But so far Green Spot is probably my favorite from the Irish whisky

Have you ever had Power’s or Quiet Man? I saw them in our liquor store and haven’t seen them before.

Powers is good. Nothing special from what I remember, but it's been a while. Never heard of Quiet Man. Best Irish whiskey that I've had thus far is Redbreast and Jameson 18.

What would you pick: Powers, Jameson, Proper 12 or Slane? Or if you have any other picks in the ~$30 price range

I can't really answer that as I have not had Proper 12 or Slane. Is Tullamore Dew an option? I kinda have a love/hate relationship with Jameson. Some days it goes down like silk, other days like a grenade.

Proper 12 isn't bad. Not a ton of flavor but its very smooth going down

T Dew is ok, I prefer Jameson over it though. I’ve had Proper 12 and really enjoy it. Same with Slane. I guess I’m wondering where Powers would fit in and also if you have any other recommendations.

Never had either. Reading the other posts I remember really liking Redbreast but I forget how many years was the one that impressed me the most

Haven't had Powers in a while. I'd assume between Powers/Jameson/Tullamore Dew/Bushmills it's just personal preference. For me, Tullamore is my preference. None of the others I've tried have really stuck out one way or another.

if you ever get a chance to eat at Zuma, they make the best version of this drink and they use Japanese whisky

What is it?

What is it?

Smoked old fashion with Bulleit Rye. It was very good. It was a tad sweet for my taste, but if I made it I would tone that down a tad.

I don't have the "smoked" ability but what did you use for a recipie.

Thanks to @modo22 for this one tonight, it’s one of the few bottles I was able to hold back this past week from all the intruders (I mean guests) that came and cleaned my bar out like a biblical plague...

Interesting. So, distilled beer?

 

[Gavin]

Yup!
