This can include all whiskeys that are not bourbon. Irish, Japanese and malt whiskies. This 16 year is incredible. Very smooth. 

Glad you enjoy Snagger. Glad you found one! If you need another, we can always hook up.

Vegas 492 , I'm just starting to learn my bourbon whiskeys . BMRR turn me on to this McKenna bourbon whiskey. It's one of those I could drink all day. When you open the bottle you get this fruity smell. Very smooth 
You can taste it's been in a barrel. It's hard for me to describe the taste because I had throat cancer in it ruined a lot of my taste buds . But I can tell you this is one of my favorites. Thank you BMRR !

Hotbait:  Vegas 1792, is it as good as Eagle Rare?

Depends.  I don't much care for any small batch bourbon.  Too young and the flavors are all over the place.  So that 1792 small batch is a hard pass for me.
1792 full proof, though, is a favorite of mine, especially a store pick 1792 Full Proof.
I did not like a 1792 Single Barrel.  Yuck.
Despite it's rave reviews, I do not like 1792 Sweet Wheat.  In fact, I have a bottle on my shelf of that stuff, unopened, and it is a very tradeable bottle of mine.  
1792 12 Year, very good.  Smoother than Full Proof, but a little less flavor.  Still?  Quite Good.

Now, all of those compared to Eagle Rare?  Eagle Rare is almost an unbeatable bottle at $50 or less.  It's just smooth, just don't use too much water or ice with it, or it will dilute down to nothing.  It's just smooth and a little on the sweet profile.

But if Eagle Rare is being sold in that $90-$100 range?  It is an easy one to nope out of.

For me, I would say that Eagle Rare is a different, smoother tasting bourbon than 1792 Full Proof.  Both are good, but they are different.  1792 Full Proof will have more flavor and be hotter.  Eagle Rare is much smoother, so it depends on what you like.  ER should be in that >$60 range.  1792 Full Proof should be $55-$65 range.

Kllled my Aberlour in three solid pours, stereo blasting country ballads for neighbours to enjoy… 
So long Mr. Daniels! Funny when I made this epic decision-Mr.Strait was playing “this is where the Cowboy ​rides ​away!”
New cheap swilling whiskey for this old timer.

Snake, you started it. 1792 it is! Sure tastes good.

Sorry, hit my own like
 Snake, I like both 1792s. They work for me.

HB, I buy the Low Grade 1792 and love it. I’ve never bought the more expensive 1792, 
which I bet is delicious. 

Vegas 1792, is it as good as Eagle Rare? ​

That bottle, McKenna 10 year, has really grown on me.  I wasn't thrilled with it at first, but now it has become a favorite of mine.  To me, it is very similar in taste to Stagg (jr).  Similar, but not quite as good, but similar.
My only issue is the price.  Used to be a $42/bottle.  Now I've seen it up to and over $100 at a few places.

I pick bottles up every time I see them when they are $60 or less.  Most that I get are in that $52-55 range.  I still think it is good value there.  Really a solid pour, for sure.

I saw a good dozen bottles at a place in the Valley last week.  Not sure on the pricing, cuz I had enough already, but they were out there.

BMRR, look what I snagged yesterday !

Killing off this bottle tonight.  Comes from a small distillery in Waterford.  Nothing special. Has a bit of a black jelly bean finish which I am not digging. Only thing it has going for it is the 118 proof.

I will have to agree with your taste test. Proof is in the Volume left. Pardon da Pun.

No one really liked them too much but there’s almost 3/4 of a bottle of each left

Didn’t you drink them anyway? 😳 Or throw them away? 

Both of the last pics are terrible lightweight $30 whiskeys. No good flavor no good appeal.
