And you didn't let us know

Jack is not bourbon. Try the Trace again and compare with a R300 scotch. The Trace is also difficult to get but more available than 3Ships bourbon.

I forgot to post that I did try some Buffalo Trace at the weekend both with and without ice. It was nice yes, but I guess one bourbon tastes much the same as the other to me and although you say Jack is not Bourbon, they all seem very similar. That chewing gum smell and taste over rides everything. I'm not saying I don't like it, I do, but I guess I'm too much of a novice to notice the difference.

Strictly speaking, Tennessee Whiskey is legally: "a straight Bourbon Whiskey produced in the State of Tennessee". Therefore Jack is Bourbon.

Jack Daniels is Bourbon. There aren't a lot of laws surrounding Bourbon, and Jack Daniels cover all of them. It's not great, but it's Bourbon.

PS: There's a difference between Bourbon and Straight Bourbon.

Thanks to @dualmeister for hanging onto bottle 88 for me and agreeing to a swap. I hope you enjoy the samples! Was nice to be able to put a face to the name!

Fortunate to have lucked out with low numbers in both my PBC’s

Thanks again @BartSimpson

The Boplaas doesn't have anything on Three Ships IMO. The Blaaack is magic as expected. But, the Balcones just kicks you in the nuts and says HELLO!

That Balcones is something else. Not an everyday pour, but when you in the mood, it does the job.

Glad you enjoyed them!

Finally got around to unpacking these - my two current favourites from the range. They really are superb.

Great minds, I split my bottle of Ardmore though, they're not cheap but so worth the price.

That looks really good

New additions, thanks @MightyQuin for the Smokehead and Peat Monster

 

[TheMightyQuin]

Cannot wait to crack open this one...but it will have to be a very special occasion. Quite the rare bottling at only 156 bottles...

 

[dualmeister]

Some Loch Lomond tonight.
