@Kinnison The only time I’ve had whiskey was an apple wine aged in whiskey barrels and it was DIVINE. I got it in Germany and I’m *still* sad I didn’t get more and can’t find it here. That said, I haven’t tried whiskey on it’s own but that sounds fantastic.

@Kinnison I love the Balvenie. Unfortunately it's a bit out of my price range at the moment.

@Kinnison One of my favourites

@Treebugz Yep, cannot go wrong with the doublewood. So many flavors, just a ride for your tongue
