Five Whiskeys

On a recent trip through DC, I stopped by to visit Jeff, of Jeff Drinks and Stuff fame.

We decide to partake in one of our favorite activities not involving video games, whiskey. I'm not quite sure how we ended up with so much to drink, but there was probably some peer pressure involved.

Jeff already had the Jim Beam and Elijah Craig 18 Year (well, that was technically Laura's). He purchased the 1792 and Jameson. The Jameson purchase took a little prodding from me, which most likely consisted of me saying, "hey Jeff, this is on sale!"

I purchased some Knob Creek which was destined for a Wake Forest tailgate.

I actually took notes on each of the drinks, but in typical fashion managed to misplace them.

The one surprise of all the night was how drinkable Jim Beam was neat. I'm not sure I'd ever just sipped it before, instead of just throwing it back, but it wasn't as harsh as I thought it would be.

The one thing that wasn't surprising at all was the awesomeness of the Jameson 12 year. It was, bye far, the best whiskey of the evening.

The middle three are all pretty good, but I thought the Elijah Craig was a little too peppery for my tastes.

I gotta say it was a good day.
