Good to hear rot-iron. Many folks do not have the strength to go cold turkey when the DTs start. respect.

Cracked a Knob Creek private select 120 proof that one of my bourbon groups picked. It was HOT and needed a few cubes to mellow it out, then really nice.

When I have an occasional alcohol beverage its Don Julio blanco or a pinot in the Meiomi pinot nior class.

I really enjoy Knob Creek, the regular stuff. It's very nice for it's price point, IMO. I've never had a high proof Knob Creek, it sounds nice. I got a handle of the Crown Royal Black a couple of weeks ago, and it's been a while since I had it. It really beats quite a few liquors that are much high price points and have fancy pants reps. But the Black really is a quality drink, either neat or with cubes.

I like the regular knob creek but am a real scotch fan. Other whiskies just don't have the complexity IMO or maybe my palate is not sophisticated enough to discern. 120 proof liquor is too much for me.

If you like scotch and like a STRONG tasting scotch try Ardbeg 10year single malt. Young enough you still get the flavors of fermentation but old enough to get the cask flavor as well. Peat and smoke forward this is my fav. I would rather have this than a 25 year rare scotch.

I'll admit that I'm not a huge scotch fan, but so many people tell me I'm missing out. I was giving scotch a good try years ago, but it seemed like the industry was moving to extremely smokey flavors, and I felt like I was sucking on a pieced of charred wood. Was just too much. I'm hoping that the industry is backing off a bit, so that the smoke is more subtle....

I’m not a big fan of the bold Smokey stuff either Tommy. I remember the first time I tried mezcal I wanted to punch a window out. I hated it lol

Omg. That's trash in the bourbon scheme of things but if you like it drink it.
