That punch being the rye For an off the shelf wheater that's easy on the wallet I'm partial to Old Weller Antique. A lot more flavor than Makers IMO Currently seeing 6 yr olds being bottled since there appears to be a shortage of BT wheated barrels with the Pappy crazy. This will blow over in another few years and well all be drinking better

Mmmm, I'm tucking mine back in the box

Thanks Anna. With your experience with different devices your assessment has more bite. Those are some significant short comings. In this battle of immersion circulators they are some clear winners and losers yet lots of room for improvement

I need to try others' recommendations but have to agree I am not a fan of the big KY brands. And I had a horrible and expensive Japanese whiskey a few weeks ago at a bar on Whiskey night. What is it about the big KY brands that puts you off?

Anna, can't wait to hear how it preforms

I use to drink very little water a day until I recently had a small kidney stone which made me change my water consumption in a huge way. Now I try to drink 40-60oz of water a day

Stop and reset

Looks delicious

Barreling a Manhattan can have some very good influences on the cocktail.

I recently purchased both an 8L and 18L polycarbonate Cambro container. The lids are easy to cut and cheap so you can have an uncut lid if using the container for short storage See pics in the Anova thread

Yeah I know. Thanks for the warning but have never had a problem. I keep it low key and obviously don't get wasted. Just some civilized sipping. But you are correct

Try it uncooked and cold. No slimy texture

Just wanted to add, it's amazing how many 2 oz bottles you can cram in a 1 qt. zip bag. I just ask for a bottled water to take high proofers down a notch and two cups during drink service. Three if my wife is drinking with me. Bless her heart, she can sip em neat right along with me!

I like a good wheater. OWA being one of my favorite OTS bottles

There is something very wrong here

This was the med blade you can go finer

You may already have a mandoline. Did this on a Benriner

Has been at least 40 yrs since I put Jack to my lips. I take that back. While going trough my FIL's liquor cabinet, I found an Olr Taylor from the 70's and a bunch of Old Fitz from our wedding 1980. The Old Fitz is SW juice and a most recent find was an Old Crow from the 60s before they went metric. He also had a bunch of old JD which I passed on but did take a taste and confirmed my decision

I bought my pound of beans for $30 and when I think of how long, soft and subtle they are compared to the 3 small scrawny dried beans sitting on most grocery store shelves for $10 I'm a happy guy

The Silver Select which we can't get here in the US is one of their best products. The Single Barrel is pretty good. They all have that banana note due to the esters they produce in their distillation.

Is that a change?Tennessee whiskey must be a straight bourbon under the North American Free Trade Agreement The "it's bourbon or not" stems from the prebarrel Lincoln County Process charcoal filtering. Lord knows they chill filter Kentucky Bourbon after dumping without issue

Jack's mash bill is greater than 51% corn so it meets the definition of bourbon as well as it being aged in new American oak charred barrels

When I fly Southwest at least I can get a Wild Turkey 101. These days I've been filling small 2oz plastic bottles with my favorite whiskey and tossing them in my carry on. Drinking well at 30,000 feet. Never had a problem in security or in the cabin

These days technically a bourbon but JD is glad to be a Tennessee whiskey. Less competition

Stunning dishes! I kept it basic tonight. Grilled loin chops with roasted multi colored potatoes and tomatoes with Valbreso French feta and Greek oregano
