Soooo I tried what I hadn’t had before, they were a little surprised that I asked for it nest with an extra cup of ice.

Soo, tried these 4

Jack Daniels Sinatra
George Dickel
Knob creek
Makers mark 46

Knobs creek was the only one I finished neat, the other three tasted better with one cube of ice.

The Sinatra was most expensive at 4 drink tokens.

I started with a Your Mates Tilly to quench the thirst as it was rather tropical walking the 1.5km….

Haven't tried the Sinatra, I bought a bottle of Makers Mark 46 and found it a bit too overpowering even with some ice, I rather like the ordinary Makers Mark though. Dickel is OK, I've got a bottle in the cupboard. If you are doing the bottle shop tastings try and get hold of some Blantons. Very good stuff that fuelled a work trip to NY a couple of years ago, was the only top shelf bourbon that was available at most bars :-)

Now you can enjoy "green" not the colour, but enviro friendly whisky as Oban and Lochnagar will be using 100 % renewable energy by the end of the year and are only 2 of a stable of 28 the parent co. is going to convert Oban Distillery to net zero by end of year (imaginealba.com)

Also Ardnamurchan uses a bio mass boiler and hydro electricity The whisky distillery that's green in spirit - CNN

Closer to home Belgrove in Tasmania is biodiesel powered Belgrove Distillery

Alway anxious waiting for internet purchases to arrive……

Arrived safe n sound.

Will give em a taste test tonight.

Saw a bottle of a new Jameson product called Orange whiskey the other day which is an interesting product on a number of levels

well , yesterday I got permission from my son to broach the bottle of Jack Daniels "hooch" that he made for me for fathers day.

yes it does taste "like" JD , very drinkable and very smooth which I believe is due to the "wash" and keeping it below 40 proof.

I'm going to have another taste right now......cheers.

.....only one now

Thought I'd have a scotch and to my dismay there was less than half a nip left in my 18yo Glenfiddich After polishing that off I had a little of the Deveron, quite a nice drop and one that is a little obscure
