Conversation Starter - What's Your Favourite Whiskey?

[DLOC]

My favourite is Jack Daniel's with a coke and ice cubes.
I don't drink much, once a week.
Must start with shots, than mixed drinks.

Haha! I'm making wine from grape juice too M314! You ferment then distill it? Don't have a still but I think I can do it on the stove

I've done it with apple juice. I drink it as cider or apple wine, or I distill it twice with the pot still to make brandy.

I could make grape brandy the same way, but I was thinking of making neutral grape spirit like in krunchbubble's pic. I'd distill it once with the pot still, then use the reflux column to get 190 prood in the 2nd distillation.

I've never tried it, but it sounds delicious. Watered down to 80 proof, it would be a vodka with a grape aftertaste.

I wonder why it's not more common. I guess it's cheaper making neutral from grains or sugar.

Dickel straight up. Ooh, boy, I can drink way too much of it too...

I'm finally getting ready to distill my first batch of all grain oat whiskey. I'm drinking some of my first oat whiskey batch at the moment. I used 8 pounds of oats and 8 pounds of sugar in my first batch. This one is 32 pounds of oats, no sugar added. The oat flavor should be deeper and more pronounced after aging.

Oats cooked in hot water, plus beta and gluco amylase enzymes added at the right temperatures to convert the starch to sugar. Also water and yeast.

This has been done fermenting for a few weeks. I finally have time to distill it today.

I just broke a ten year streak of abstaining from Jack Daniel's.

I'm not sure why I hated it but I have damn sure I've changed my mind.

Still not a favorite... oh wait, that's the whole point of this thread....

I'm still married to my green eyed lady:

But I did just mess around with this weird chick from Tennessee.

Don't tell anyone....

 

[shithawk420]

Wow! Mr mustard! Haven't seen you o forever! I hope you will stop by more often! Miss you guy!

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Oh well shucks

It's swell to be missed and good to be back...

This one's for you... and another for BoBandy

:friends:

Check out a small company in Missouri called "Wooden Hat".

They control every aspect, from farm to bottle.

Probably the only producer in the USA that uses wood-fired stills.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Licensed and legal producer, you mean...

I'm personally able to verify many producers that use wood fired stills

They have locally sourced ingredients too

Can I vote for THC saturated Everclear in this thread?

I've been doing it the easy way. I plug my still into the electrical socket on the kitchen counter and flip a switch to turn it on.

Doing it outdoors with a wood fire sounds like fun.

Don't forget to dump your heads

I enjoy bourbon and Scotch - Maker's Mark and Knob Creek being my favorite bourbons, Glenmorangie is my favorite Scotch. Particularly, Glenmorangie's Lasanta and Quinta Ruban varieties - aged in port and sherry wine casks.
