Hey Bourbon and Scotch Guys (2 Viewers)

[detroitdad]

Tomorrow were heading to Rochester NY to visit family. I was told were hitting "Flight West" for drinks. I was looking at the drinks list, and holy shit!!!!

I need some suggestions. Colleen said to go crazy. Its our first, and only vacation of the year. I'll still probably avoid the $30.00 + drinks lol.

My palate is strong bourbons, barrel proofs, ect.....

Please sound off with as many options as you want, and why.

Please and thank you.

That was the first thing I said to Colleen. I've never had it. I like Laphroaig 10. So of course Barrel Proof has to be amazing

If you like Laphroaig 10 then you will absolutely love it. My favorite.

Go nuts, Bill. My M.O. is to always try what you can't easily find anywhere else.

 

[moose]

Locals only flight so I know what's available in the area that I might want to pick up later.

That's my plan. I was like "Angels Envy Barrel Proof". Even though Colleen doesn't care. I can't spend 45 bucks for a glass lol

Don’t sleep on the Black Maple Hill. It’s cheap relatively to what you usually see.

 

[RichMahogany]

Abelour A’bunadh
Glendronach 12 although I prefer the 15

And difficult to find these days IIRC

 

[pacmartine]

If you are going 45 bucks, the three BTAC (stagg, WLW, and Thomas Handy Rye) are you me the best options on that list.

I'm "not" spending 45 bucks per drink lol........

I'd like to keep it in the 20 dollar range so I can have a few different pours. I think the Laphroig cask strength is a must. The EH Taylor Barrel proof sounds amazing.

I've never heard of it. I'll google it.

I just noticed they offer multiple ice options lol. Square, sphere, stones

 

[detroitdad]

I might have to increase my vacation budget lol

EHTBP, Knob Creek 25th is supposed to be great, Michters 10, Michter’s BS Rye

 

[mike32]

I think I’d try Leonardo’s Elixir and the Boubon Square if I had time. I like a mixed drink better with dinner than straight bourbon though.

I don't think were having dinner there. I think it will be apps and drinks.

I should have said food rather than dinner. I don’t like to eat while drinking straight bourbon. Is that weird?
