Miserable day at work today. Evan Williams magic tonic in a glass working it’s magic.

I enjoy Evan Williams..just pour a glass about 10pm and sip slowly till about midnight..
If I stay up later, just pour a bit more..

I'm not sure if I've posted this question or not, but if you needed to recommend a single malt for a first time whiskey drinker, what would it be?

Evan Williams Single Barrel - equal parts water.

Recommended to me by my annoying whiskey/whisky expert BIL.

B*stard was right...

Highland Park 12

For me, it has many of the characteristics of the different regions while none overpowering the others.

Made a liquor store run this afternoon and got a couple that I've not tried before. My Gentleman Jack is about empty so I'm sure I'll crack these open by the weekend.

My goodness .. Jim beam rye

It was my only rye forever . Only in the last few years have I tried a few others . They changed the label on it to a green color .. it looks better than the yellow . Brings back many a memory of Manhattans and sours .. enjoy

I hear that the yellow label was better than the newer green. This one is the pre-prohibition version at 90 proof. I'll give it a try tomorrow evening. Alabama liquor stores don't ever have what I originally go in looking for

so I usually end up with my 2nd or 3rd choice.

Hell, I bet it will be fine . I can't remember the proof of the yellow.. I'm thinking 80 or 86 ( ? )

I picked up some Elijah Craig last week. Never had it before and found that I like it. Not badly priced either. Sadly, I left the bottle sitting out and my wife used it in cooking!!!
