South Dakota smallie record broken

[snagged in outlet 3]

I was winter fishing with two buddies at Taney a few years ago.  They split a bottle of Makers and a few beers after fishing.  First they got kicked out of Danna's BBQ.  Then in the morning at the free breakfast, they forgot to use the cooking spray on the waffle maker and the lady working there kicked them out too.  One of them threw up in the boat later that morning.  Fishing was good though.  San Juan worm bite if I remember.

I have but it's been a long time. Good stuff from what I remember. 

we sell it at the bar i work at downtown, but it doesn't sell as good as knob or makers

I'm not part of the bar scene anymore down there but it always seemed that most were out to drink the things that made them look/feel cool. 

What bar do you work at? Hell I probably won't even know where or what it is anymore.

Been a long time but I have been in there. I could walk there in a few minutes time from where I sit everyday.

so as a fella looking to getting into sipping a good whiskey what do you all suggest? I don't usually partake in it but lately have wanted to give some a try.

Depends.  Are you a person who likes big flavors?  That road leads to the high end bourbons.  Best of the best for a starting point to learn good bourbon:  Angel's Envy, Woodford Reserve Double Oaked.

Are you a person who likes smokey flavors?  That road starts with the peated scotches and goes to the Islay style scotches.  The lighter speyside whiskeys are very well represented by Glenmorangie 15.  The go to Islay is Laphroaig.  But to me it's like sucking on a piece of charcoal that's been soaked in turpentine.  Strong flavor to say the least.

Are you a person who likes smooth complex flavors?  That road goes to Ireland.  Redbreast 12 is a great starting point for topnotch Irish.  Bushmill's Black Bush is a great choice too that's very representative of the type that's a cut above the standards.

great info Terrierman! I've seen Woodford Reserve around here a few times so that one i will look into. I never heard of Redbreast 12 until this thread but i will be looking into it more. The only Irish whiskey i've had is Jameson triple distilled and it was good.

I think the only Irish whiskey I have ever had has been in a car bomb.
