There is some guy opening up a bar in Charlotte that claims the only way to have suitable ice is to chip it off a 50lb block.
Only if it's imported natural glacial ice harvested with hand chisels by native Inuit virgins and transported by dog sled. Everything else is really just lazy.
Why does the ice have to be crystal clear? What have I been missing about ice all these years?
Thanks- I'm good. It's just emotional and I'm prone to excessive empathy. Enjoy your weekend!
Cant speak for others but my drinking preference for bourbon was a bit of a progression, started with drinking decent bourbon with coke, bout 50/50, I would try different mid level bourbons to see what I liked. From there I slowly reduced the amount o coke I was using over several years till I was at a point where I preferred it on the rocks. I then started exploring more expensive bourbons.
Welcome to the party. Let me get you a glass...Grey Pilgrim said:
First of all, it looks super cool. Like, super cool.
I agree with this, and my progression was very similar.
I know it looks cool. And I've seen the cool devices that make awesome ice cubes for as little as $180 all the way up to $1000. I'm with you. And while it looks cool, I don't know if there's a taste difference than what I have with these.
I have those too. I will say that when I use my McCallan Ice ball carver with clear ice, it seems to taste better than the silicone ice. Maybe it’s getting the entire outside layer of ice off which may pick up freezer tastes? I’m not sure, but there seems to be a difference.
I’ve never had the Barrel Strength Bulleit.
You are wasting your time unless you are using this water to make your ice.

I’ve got a bottle of 23. I strongly suggest you not waste the money. It’s good.... but no way near worth that.
Love me some knob creek 120pf Barrel picks these days. Some are 14-15 years old... nearly Barrel proof.... usually non chill filtered... and really damn tasty for $35-40z
Beautiful packaging. I presume it’s sourced Dickel distillate? They are selling a good bit in that age range these days.
No idea what that means. Here's another article from the NYT. Marc Bushala told me about the project last fall.
They are almost certainly not making the whiskey, but instead purchasing whiskey barrels from a source and repackaging it as Heavens Door. Given they have a “Tennessee Bourbon” I am reasonably confident the source is George Dickel... as they sell barrels to private labels like this.
Correct in that they're purchasing the liquid but I can't confirm that the source is Dickel.
4 Roses small batch is my go to.heckmanm said:
If you don't like Eagle Rare, you are not a bourbon guy. Yet. Give it a few more tries and if you still don't like it, I will be happy to take it off your hands.
