Re: Whiskey drinker's thread
I'm back home and still slightly hungover from my Tennessee vacation. I highly recommend the Jack Daniels distillery tour for anyone in the area. It is well worth the $25 admission. We got in free because I work for one of Jack's major distributors but I would have gladly paid the fee. Incredibly informative tour with a detailed tasting at the end.
Also did a quick tasting at George Dickel. In most cases you have to take the tour there to do the tasting but, ya know.... connections.
Old Smoky Moonshine is my company's competition but we went to their presentations/tastings in Gatinburg and Pigeon Forge. Their whiskey is mostly shit but they make their tastings fun. They have a mango habanero whiskey that is an amazing marinade for shrimp.
I also drank my weight in Buffalo Trace even though I don't distribute them. It's just so tough to find in Arizona that I couldn't pass up the opportunity whenever I saw it.
All in all, great time. Great whiskey. Hopefully heading to Lexington to hit Woodford around Derby time next year.
