Not much of a whiskey fan but #1 for me is Crown, Then Pendletons, Then Basil Haydens............ Yup, if you haven't tried Basil you should...........
Crown Royal Cask, hands down the best whisky I have ever tasted! That is truly the smoothest I have yet tried. But at about $100 a bottle I don't get it very ofter and rarely share it.
All you Crown drinkers - do yourself a favor and pick up a bottle of Pendleton - you won't be disappointed. If you buy it and don't like it, you can send to unfinished portion to me and I'll take proper care of it for you.
I do like Crown for sure but only when the Liquor Store is out of Pendleton.
