Since I’m getting married in a week and a half one of my buddies here at college hosted a “stock the bar”. Basically, everyone brings some liquor for me to stock my bar with once I have my own place. I didn’t expect anything nice since we’re all college kids or about to be alumni but I have good friends that for some reason got me pretty dang nice stuff. So here is the haul.
1) The Glenlivet Founders Reserve
Smooth start with a note that peaks, then relaxes and leaves a gentle, sweet flavor that leaves you with a warm feeling. Bought this for everyone to sip on while we were hanging out. 7/10.
2) Stranahans Colorado Whiskey
The best whiskey I have ever had in my life. Flavor hits every taste bud strong and then sits leaving you with a smile. Friend bought this for me. Actual 10/10.
3) Laphroaig 10 Year
I haven’t tried this yet but have only seen good thing. Can’t wait for this one.
4) George Dickel Rye Whiskey
A classic strong whiskey. Any recommendations on how to drink this one?
5) Candian Club
Someone had to bring me a cheap one as a joke. College kids after all, right?
There were a couple guys that couldn’t make it and told me they are bringing their gift later. I may update the list if I get the chance but I have a busy next week and a half. If I didn’t get anything else I would still be happy. This is already a great way to get myself into some more upper class drinks.

Saw you had the 10 year and not the 18.

The real question is, are any of those better than Jack Daniels honey and sweet tea?

I live in Tennessee. Jack Daniels is what flows out of our “water” taps

Laphroaig 10 is my go to scotch. If you’re a scotch drinker, you won’t be disappointed.

I’m learning to be a scotch drinker. I’ve tried, The Glenlivet and Glenfidich but ave not been employed enough or tasteful enough to actually buy a bottle. I think this could be a very tasty but expensive habit now though haha.
