cask strength

is single barrel cask strength whiskey any good or is it too much 120proof?

Im picking up a 141.9 proof rye tomorrow

I really enjoyed a Makers Cask strength. I have been looking for another bottle ever since.

Old Granddad 114 is drinkable. Sort of. Harsh on the way down for sure.

This one but I give it the full 5 barrels

There was a cask strength Crown Royal product several years ago. Cask 16.

Canadian whiskey should not be allowed across the border. I know the OP didn't say American but he probably meant to.

Cask strength is great!!!

I like it a lot. Lets me decide how much water I want in it. There are a few I'll drink undiluted, but most improve with a little water added.

This is questionable

It’s good

He does know Whiskey

yes American

Booker’s runs 121-130 proof. Each batch is different. I’ve only had one that I didn’t like and that batch has been gone for years. Unfiltered, uncut. You get what you get.

My favorite is Stagg Jr at 126-132 proof. That stuff will sneak up on you.
1792 Full Proof is very good.
I need to try the Makers Mark Cask Strength.

Texas Lefty will have some special treats for all you pheasant hunters

he may not share

He'll share....or walk.

Love cask strength bourbons.

If you like those two you'll enjoy the MMCS.

Depends on the person drinking it. I prefer them over 100 proof. Seems 115-130 is about right to me. I’ve had some in the 140 range and they were good too

Depends on the whiskey. I am currently loving the current batch (B520) of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof. A little lower proof than normal, but still weighing in at 127.2 proof. Also digging my Blanton's Straight From the Barrel. This one is weighing in at 135.2 proof, but you would never know it as it drinks below its weight.

I have never been impressed by any other Texas bourbons that are cask strength. They are young and drink hot!

If he’s not a sharing type, nobody is.

I can narrow that window to 125-127.9 for me.

May I ask what you gave for that bottle?

Obviously you haven’t had IronRoot Harbinger or Kiepersol Jimmys

Now that is my jam. Unfortunately, have had a bottle since 2018. Hoping to get lucky this fall.

I believe it was around $100.

It is good stuff, but it’s gotten almost impossible to find. I have a couple distributor friends that can sometimes get me allocated bottles.

I wasn't aware that Jimmy's made a cask strength bourbon. I will be on the lookout for it. I have had their 90 proof version and thought it was just okay.

While I will say that the Harbinger is better than most Texas bourbons, I still don't love it. Been to the Ironroot distillery and met both of the Likarish brothers at tastings in the last couple of years and I think they are doing things right and I know a lot of folks love it.

For you Steve

The Jack Daniels “barrel proof” is some orrery good stuff

The Makers Cask strength has too bitter/acid aftertaste for my liking

The two knob 120s are actually different but tonight the Lone Elm wins.

Knob Creek is good but NOT for $60

Knob Creek has put out some good stuff. Gotta try one of those.
