      I have a barrel proof bourbon that’s really hot. The rye I have is awesome, one of my best but also it’s 132 proof where the bourbon I have is 136. I’ll probably try to buy a lower proof bourbon, around 130, when I need to refill.

    @RxSquatch 3 дня назад +2

    Okay, I’m loving this blind. Unpredictable, not hampered by pride and preferences. Dalton did a great job laying out a series that makes it difficult to hone in on one direction. He should do a semi-regular blind for you.
    P.S.- I think it is a great idea to revisit whiskeys we haven’t previously looked forward to; did our preferences change, evolve, etc.? Doing such in a blind also helps eliminate biases up front.

  • @jdsboomin529
    @jdsboomin529 3 дня назад

    I agree with many of the comments I’ve seen about the first glass,. Having any bottle be that crappy can absolutely wreck your palate for a blind. I think once you decided not to drink it anymore your palate came back. As far as the JD barrel proof rye I also agree I have one that’s 136.8 it’s too hot. Most of the whiskeys I’ve been enjoying these days are between 90 and 110 proof too. I can still enjoy some stagg sr and a few releases of ECBP but for the most part my sweet spot is low 100’s now Very entertaining though! Cheers!
