Delicious discovery at the liquor mart today

[Shamrocker]

So I thought I'd take a stroll through the liquor mart for a little something to sip on before heading to my parent's place for Thanksgiving dinner. A couple wine sampler kiosks were set up, but I was looking for some scotch, bourbon, or something similar. Just as I headed towards the rye section, my eye caught sight of a nice looking bottle with deep amber contents. I start reading the label and right when I finish the name, I heard a woman asking if I wanted a sample. Well... does a bear s#it in the woods?

She poured me a small sample. I tried to smell it, but my nose was a little stuffed from a cold that just set in yesterday. Took a little sip, and wow! This has got to be the smoothest tasting rye I've ever had! Velvety is almost how I'd describe this, with no harshness or burning feeling. I asked the demo lady a few questions about it, and decided to pick up a bottle of it.

Not only was it a wonderful tasting whisky, it was inexpensive too! At $23+change I couldn't believe this was the "entry level" label of theirs. They also had a reserve blend available. I'm sure the reserve will be the next bottle I buy. I can't wait to taste this with a nice cigar!

Wild Turkey .

Sorry, I hit enter too soon.

As I was saying, Wild Turkey will give you the total rye expieriance.

The only bottle of Wild Turkey I could find on the shelf was the Rare Breed. I would have bought it, but the price tag was more than I was willing to spend on that trip.

Thanks for the recommendation though. It's on the short list of things to try/buy.

40 Creek is a terrific bargain in whiskeys. The Reserve is a bit less of a bargain, but man is it ever good. :thumbs:

I'm with AVB, Wild Turkey Rye 101-proof is tits! :thumbs:

I think I had 40 Creek once at a bar, not sure which expression. Honestly, it didn't leave much of an impression on me.

But in all things, drink what you like! Even better when you find something you love at a low price point (like I do with Old Grand-Dad Bottled in Bond)! :thumbs:
