Going back a couple of pages here... Apologies

What is jeremiah weed like?

Going through a bourbon phase and have already tried the well known brands (JD, Jim beam, makers mark, Evan Williams, wild Turkey, knob creek). Trying to get through the various styles (Kentucky vs Tennessee vs Rye vs corn etc etc) to find *that* brand.

Suggestions are appreciated.

Seconded! Except maybe Bunnahabhain, personally not a fan of their releases.

Tried the bunanhabunnaba... not impressed. Ardbeg's coffee note gets my vote

It's more of a syrupy liqueur, than a true bourbon. It has strong herb flavours and a potent, sticky sweetness. I prefer it neat

^Gentleman Jack or the Single Barrel?

Old no. 7, Gentleman and the Single Barrel.

For me, Gentleman sure has a beautifull aroma to it, and is smoother than its predecessor. For R70 price jump, I'd take it any day over old no. 7. (if you drink brandy, compare it to a KWV 5 yo vs 10).

Single Barrel is even moreso smooth and you can really smell the toasted oak (some appreciate whilst others despise it). The finish is no different to that of the gentleman jack though, which is a shame. My other gripe with it is the price; I don't think it's worth +R400.

Overall, I'd take the Gentleman over the other two, simply due to it's value for money.

I've just had a few toots of single barrel for the first time, and it was indeed very smooth. Overall though and talking value for money, I'd just stick with bog standard no.7 as I don't see too much difference to Gentleman Jack and the jump to single barrel is too much.

Lovely stuff. It's my absolute favourite whisky. I'd take this over JW Blue anyday. I've had the Glenmorangie Lasanta as well. Perfect as a dessert whisky. I'm also a huge fan of the Laphroaig.

Any Ardbeg fans?

Must make a plan to have a taste...also heard good things about the Laphroaig
 
I'm getting tucked into a litre of 12 year old Glenfiddich and boy I forgot how delish this stuff is.

Very very nice

Got a 12yr Glenmorangie waiting for a special occasion. How do the 2 differ on taste? Am still new to this

I don't know, I'm not so familiar with Glenmorangie. But that's a wrong I need to right sometime soon ;)
 
Where can I get cheap Bourbon? I bought Jim Beam from PnP recently and it was amazing, but it is damn pricey.
