    Makers up , and after a sip I must admit I am a big fan.   Loving that sloooow burn.  Definitely different than scotch, maybe softer on the nose but man that burn is where it’s at.  90 proof, holy shit.  I might like this more than scotch.   
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    ^Mcgruff, glad to see you're diving into the bourbon world.  Like others have said, Makers and Buffalo Trace are both great options.  Makers is a "wheater," meaning it is made with wheat, which is not as common.  It has a sweeter flavor.  I personally love wheated bourbons, but not all do.  Some above have said no to mixing these, which I get, but I wouldn't have a problem making a cocktail with either of those.  Neat or mixed, you can't go wrong.  Enjoy!

    Thank you good sir. Yeah man. Sucks big time, especially considering I don’t want to be part of any “protest”. If the rain breaks we may have beers in front yard but that’s it

    Word, same, might move the outdoor heater out front to shoot the shit but that's about it. The idea of not starting a party at 10am on January 1st is an empty feeling. Mummers are kinda waning on me as it is, I don't need to be around the least common denominators that might somehow show up wearing blackface with a MAGA hat while not wearing masks to own Kenney.

    Here's to 2021, we can (hopefully) only go up.

    I have mixed feelings on the mummers but super weird feeling not being at my sister in laws getting drunk while also throwing a party in like 12 hours. 
    I definitely try to separate the politics from the mummers. Did the vast majority of them vote trump? Sure, but so do baseball players. It’s only the comics that bring a truly bad name and they should be gone but Since they’re on so early when nothing else is on, that’s what gets seen.

    Anyways on to whiskey...give me a couple hours and I’ll be diving in headfirst

    It is.  It's got that familiar Laphroaig "seaside briny" peat.
