Any of you whiskey drinkers? Anyone ever try that Sazerac whiskey he's got sitting there in the video? Let me know, I'm thinking about ordering some up here to Idaho.

Saw some the other day at a local store but never had it. I'm kind of new to whiskey. The single malt is a little too peaty for me right now. I had some Monkey Shoulder which is a blended whiskey and it was pretty good.

Not all that great . On par with a Jack Daniels rye or any other mass distributed whiskey, maybe even less so. It’s supposed to be distilled with flavor profiles that compliment Sazeracs like licorice etc. You are better off using Templeton or Old Overholt. Unless you just want it for the cool factor and the fact it’s named for a cocktail invented here here I wouldn’t bother.
It’s also made in Kentucky.
Try Seven Three whiskey. It’s distilled here in New Orleans and is much better. I don’t know if they have a rye.

Not a whiskey drinker. Tried Proper No. Twelve recently. Liked it.

D line at full strength? Hopefully that includes Sheldon Rankins.

He's already suffered 3 lower leg injuries in his short career.

Rankins and Davenport are very good players ... when they play. We shall see.

You want good whiskey? Check these out:

Wilderness Trail https://wildernesstraildistillery.com/

Barrell: https://www.barrellbourbon.com/

If you buy Monkey Shoulder you should try Bank Note 5 year Blended Whiskey. They use more malted barley than Monkey or Dewars and age a min of 5 years.

I was waiting for a comment on the Shoulder. That's my go-to, I have tried many others and have yet to be converted away. Money Shoulder is a blend of 3 speysides.. Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie.

D-line at full strength...meh, let's talk booze

I too like Monkey Shoulder, but am partial of course to islay scotches.

Lagavulin 16, and Talisker 10 being my old favorites
