Message: [QUOTE="Fishy, post: 5258901, member: 38"] Yes. Don’t let these stubborn nitwits convince you otherwise…they’re more interesting than scotch. Steer clear of Virginia Distilling. Courage and Conviction is good but it’s basically scotch made in Virginia. The rest of their stuff is so hit or miss that it’s not worth it. I have three bottles of their cask finished stuff that I consider undrinkable. Balcones, Taconic, Westward, Westland, Stranahans, Cedar Ridge….all make good ones. Balcones Texas Single Malt and their rum cask finished whiskeys are some of my favorites, but the rest of what they do isn’t for me. Lineage is highly regarded, but I did not like it. If I had to pick one to start out with, Westwards original American single malt would probably be it - it’s like $65-70 and it’s terrific. [/QUOTE]
