What is your most recent (whisky) purchase.

Ri (1) Straight Rye Whiskey, 46% ABV

Hmm...has anyone else tried this? I'm not quite sure what to think of it. It's a solid offering, adequate spice (with a somewhat disturbing nose of bubblegum- you can't make this stuff up...), and a remarkably clean finish.

So far, so good...

$50 as the price tag? Not THAT good. The packaging has the kind of po-mo appeal to it that I suppose some people go for; industrial and quirky, but I wonder if I ended up paying a bit more for hype than quality.

[Ganga]

I've had it and have no problems with your descriptions. I find bubblegum (bazooka to hubba bubba) in several bourbons. I don't recall coming up with anything like that in any rye. Maybe I'll have to try it again.

My nephew has gotten into craft brews and is beginning his exploration. So I got him a mixed bag and a Lost Abbey Gift of the Magi for myself.

Four new soldiers to replace the 3 recently deceased, and he who is about to die. I realised I need to restock my selection with lower priced whisky so my good bottles last longer, as they really got burned up quickly recently.

All are 12 years old, and bottled at 43%.

I'd like to see a review of this. I'm thinking that we need to revive the Trader Joe's thread and start a Kirkland thread to keep track of the hits and misses.

Oh as it fit in sort of with the December tasting thread, I posted notes there. I should have cross linked them.
