Four Roses bourbon: "It's like life water." Spicoli Joe will be hearing from their marketing department.

[@paulatreides3214]

Which is, funnily enough, kind of like saying, given the etymology of the word "whiskey": Roses bourbon - it's like whiskey.

I’m in Kentucky. I’ve never had a problem finding Buffalo trace. And that is a fine bourbon if I may say. I have to say though, I’ve always been a maker’s person and I absolutely love the cask strength they put out.

[@EdmundStanding]

That's really strange to hear about Buffalo Trace being hard to find in parts of the US. I live in England and you can buy it in supermarkets and off licenses (liquor stores) all over the country here. It's not uncommon to find it in pubs and bars as well.

"Bonfire on the Lake" - is that like "Smoke on the Water"? In which case: is there a "Machine Head" whiskey? (Or was that the Laphroaig?)

[@heathbarnhart1092]

Off topic: Thought I would post a new experience here. I finished a glass of Laphroiag 10 and wanted to switch to bourbon. I had Maker's Mark, which according to their 10 yo KZbin tour is whose barrels they use for aging. I found that following the Laphroiag I found none of the classic Maker's Mark flavors and it was mostly sugar and spearmint, the later of which I have never found in Makers. Are there other pairings that have noticeable changes?

Macallan 18 is the ultimate gift whisky. It's pretty much the whole point of Macallan 18...unless the recipient is a hardcore enthusiast, then I would recommend doing some research as to what they like and ditching the macallan idea. If they just passively enjoy whisky then yes, Macallan 18 is a fine and respectable gift.
