Lokmars Whiskey/Whisky Review

[Shen Li]

Lady, this is a fucking WHISKEY THREAD!!!!!!!

However, seeing how even the shittiest, cheapest rum is 10X superior to Scotch, you get a pass!

You are a cunt!!

I like Chivas Regal, JP Wiser's 15 year old and Canadian Club rye to name a few.

Jo Jo likes Sex on the Beach.

Bourbon is a whiskey so this poast is allowed. I hope.

Anyway my grandpa gave me this bottle of Jim Beam way back when so it could be anywhere from 20 to 30 years old. How long does it stay good for? I'm wondering if I should drink it down before it goes bad or if I should store it longer until it's the best time.

Drink it.

Drink it.

In a few weeks it will be the 20th anniversary of my grandpa's passing. I think that just might be the appropriate occasion to open it and have a few toasts.

I've drank Whiskey that was way over a decade old. As long as the cap isnt left off for a long time, I think it will last forever or until the cork rots.

When you decide to crack it open, you should drink/compare a brand new bottle for the hell of it.

Personally, I hate Jim Beam. I call it "rot gut" because it acts like poison once it hits my stomach. Some people love it tho.

Drink it.

Looking at it, it might be from the 70's or 80's.

That's why grandpa gave it to me, he didn't like it either

Well, its time to bring this back from the dead.

So, I went to Costco with my daughter when I was in Florida recently. I bought a big bottle of 4 Roses single barrel and a big bottle of Woodford Reserve Double Oak.

The Double Oak was as good as I expected, the 4 Roses was absolute shit and I instructed my son in law to GIVE that $60/bottle shit to the first asshole he could talk into it!

I also bought a bottle of Russell's Reserve 10year which was good. I've had it before. I found a bottle of Russell's Reserve 15 year but couldnt bring myself to pay $499 for it.

One day, we went to a Total Wine and the St. Augustine rep was there. He let me try most all their shit. It was all very acceptable, some even good. One bottle, cant remember which, was just so so. I recommend starting with their Straight Florida Whiskey to see if you like it and go from there.

Since my trip to Florida in mid-August, I bought a bottle of Russell's Reserve Single Barrel. DID NOT LIKE! Shit drinks a LOT hotter than its 110 proof...in fact, my JD Select Single Barrel at 130.7 proof drinks less hot!!! The Russell's 10 year is much better and smoother IMO. BTW, the 10 yr is $40 and the Single Barrel is $65. $25 more for WORSE juice!!!!

[Lokmar]

I also recently bought a bottle of Ben Holladay Soft Wheat Bourbon. Wasnt as good as the standard Ben Holladay. At $59/bottle, for either, get the regular bottled in bond.

[Lokmar]

Heaven Hill. $40/bottle. Buy it. Its good. Angels Envy $38/bottle. Buy it. Its decent and smooth.

Bought a bottle of Old Forester 1920. The last bottle impressed me. This one? Not so much. Maybe I'll try it again in a year.

Oh, Uncle Nearest..... they resurrected this brand as an homage to the black slave that taught Jack Danies how to make whiskey. Its not worth writing home about. I'd rather drink Old Fitzgerald.

Widow Jane. Not worth the money. PASS!

Michters anything...its ok. They have a Sour Mash that I really like in a High Ball!

Jeffersons, FUK THAT SHIT!!!!!!

Yellowstone, I POURED A BOTTLE DOWN THE DRAIN!!!!!!

Chatanooga Whiskey. DID NOT PREFER!!! Cost twice what its worth.

Bulleit Bourbon, The SOLE reason I bought a bottle last year is a rumor they were anti gay. It was decent but not one of my go to's.

Knob Creek, its not my jam but its very decent. No real sweetness compared to other whiskeys.

Makers Mark anything, ESPECIALLY 46. WAY too sweet for me!!! Its not Southern Comfort, but still, way too sweet! Like diabeetus sweet!

Ezra Brooks. Stay the fuck away from that shit. BAAAAAAD!

Redneck Riviera... lightweight swill. I like John Rich's politics but his whiskey? Not so much!

[Lokmar]
