Jim Bob's Boozy Bottle Reviews

jthanatos

So, I have wanted to try my hand at liquor reviews for awhile, being the drunkard that I am. So, since JDH so kindly beat me down with a new bottle of Irish whiskey, I am going to start. Hoping to do this weekly. Feel free to tell me how much I suck/suggestions on improvements. Thanks all.

Nice review! I did not know how much went in to a drink...much like a cigar.

Nice review.. I agree with Randy, I always thought cigars were all the same and alcohol was used to get drunk. Not so, for once I've taken some time to savor which is a first thanks to these threads. I personally would like suggestions from a price point perspective. What I want to buy isn't always what I can afford to buy. Thanks for taking the time to review.

+1 I am always down for a great libation, but can't always afford the top shelf. And while vodka is my preferred, I enjoy a refined whisky every now and then.

Excellent review, Jim. After some research yesterday, you nailed it. I'll be ordering my bottle of the 8 year this weekend.

Fermented beverage is the Devil's brew!

Maybe so, but the angels get their share every quarter.

If you like vodka, this Greenore would be a great whiskey for you. Also, since you are the first to name a spirit, next review will be a Vodka review.

I just need to justify an occasional alcohol purchase..harder to hide than cigars. You know what I mean. What's the "best" in a particular price range. Thank god I got a bottle of Zaya because my wife tasted it at the cigar show I went to and she happened to sample a bit and liked it.

It usually helps if you find something she likes. Of course, my girlfriend usually picks the most expensive bottle on the table to "like." I still need to order a bottle of Glenmorangie Signet for her.

This is most certainly the key. I also like to use the 'per drink' justification. One 750mL bottle has about 17 pours in it. A 50 dollar bottle is $3 a drink. You will pay more than that for soda at many restaurants. Compare with wine, which gives you about 5 pours per bottle.

That makes dollars and sense! Thanks
