worst shot I've ever had in my life was on my 21st birthday. It was called a 252... it's a shot of bacardi 151 mixed with a shot of Wild Turkey 101. I'd rather drink straight everclear.
Hmmm sounds Pretty Good.1/2 of a 1/5th of Turkey 101 and a Pint of Everclear is Known as the Jughead. :thumb: :laugh: :laugh:

beer wise i have to say Yuengling is the best.....The stuff thats made in their pa plant is better. The stuff that is made in their tampa plant has a little funny taste to it. But its better then bud or bud light.
I wouldn't say Yuengling is the best.. but it's a freaking fantastic "cheap" beer. Waaaay ahead of miller or bud light.
prolly cept i cannot find it here :cry:
I've Drank it but it's Rare Around Here.I like Stella Artois,Guiness,Negra Modela,Dos Equise,Corona,Heiniken and only Budweiser on Tap. :thumb:
The Local Beer Store Started Carrying Shlitz I think I'll try 6 of those tomorrow. :thumb:
Vodka - Grey Goose
Beer - Goose Island 312
anyone else here can't really drink beer? I can drink about 2 bottles then I'm done I can't drink anymore I feel to full.
Other hand hard liquor I have no problems with.
Doesn't any here drink wine :dunno_white:

You're not the only one. And while yes, getting drunk on a bottle of wine is great fun, sobering up is not. Wine gives me the worst hangovers.
And the best beer is new glarus spotted cow, those that have not visited Wisconsin most likely havent had it, or even heard of it

I was that way until recently, when I turned 21 and started trying more beers. I still can't usually handle more than a six pack before I get too full to consume any more. Liquor, however, I have been known to kill a fifth in a night singlehandedly. Of course, I can usually barely walk by that point. :laugh:

Ok beer if I have to buy it New Castle brown ale, Leinenkugels cream ale, Red stripe. Otherwise I have a buddy who brews his own mmmmmmmmm belgian triple bock that'll knock your socks off excellent stuff.
Liqour I am pretty basic Wellers and Coke. for my Bourbon Glenlivet for my scotch, I prefer single malts over blended scotch. Sipping Tequila=Tres Generaciones, For margaritas Cuervo gold. I do like the Captain Morgan Tattoo rum with a Dr. Pepper occasionally.
I have drank 151 straight, I had an abcessed tooth and I was killing the pain by soaking it in high proof liqour before swallowing

Vodka - Grey Goose
Beer - Goose Island 312
grey goose is the greates example of advertising and marketing out there. They are the top with their promotions and distribution.
They have to be because their vodka is crap. As a bartender i see everyone come in and order it. not because its a good vodka but thats what they have been tricked into believing. Its not even made the proper way. If you want a good vodka go with kettle one , stolii or VOX. These are all made the true way.
Kettle one is actually still made in copper stills by hand actually using potatoes.
Stoli is still around because its the russians table vodka. ITs what started the vodka craze here in the us back in the 80's. (its not tippy top shelf but its better then most.)
VOX is a good vodka to start off with they they filter 5 times to get all the impurities out of it...(Grey goose only does theirs 3 times after they chemically produce it.)

Oh, I know. I buy it because people know it. I've had Stoli Gold, VOX, Kettle One, Ciroc, Belvedere, and many others before. If I were a big vodka drinker, I'd go with one of those.
+100 for knowing the difference
I remember when little john came out with a rap song that had Patron in it. People who knew what it was enjoyed drinking it because it was good. When the song came out you had people asking for it not even knowing it was tequila.... Its a shame how marketing plays such a huge factor on our culture.

I'd drink glenfiddich or black label on the rocks all day. I get very little ill effects from most scotch, but cannot stomach rum or cognac. Wifey, exact opposite.
Scotch, tequila, vodka and gin in that order. Only thing about Vodka, I sometimes get hit late, like 20-45 mins late and I may have chugged (I have on a couple occassions when I didn't see or mix the drink) too many thinking its watered down. Then I either sit still and do not move for fear of throwing up or its too late and out it comes.
But scotch, never a problem. On the rocks, plain, with soda, with 7 up, with twist of lemon, with water, with chaser, with sour (especially the cheap stuff works great as a sour) with collins syrup - whatever.
Nothing like good scotch ...
Cool.
Srinath.
glenfiddich has a triple malt that's hard to find around here but is absolutely heavenly :cheers:
Hmmm yes it is :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: it can be found just have to look :icon_twisted:
The base usually has it or can get it in 2 days, I just don't like going out there, the current state of the Air Force really pisses me off :icon_confused:
Meanwhile the best liqour store outside of base has 3 types of authentic russian vodka but only single malt scotch's :icon_confused:
If I am going to drink a blended scotch then I prefer
Usquaebach or Chivas 21 royal salute. Both are excellent blended whiskey's very smooth and easy on the pallet.
But for a everyday scotch I find the single malts to have a crisper taste, every singlemalt has it's own unique flavor and finding that just right whiskey is what I enjoy.
Had my first Irish Car Bomb over the weekend. Awesome drink :thumb:
I'm new here..but I'll chime in..
I stick to beer most times...miller lite, corona...nothing fancy. But I like my Wild Turkey (with diet pepsi) my tequila (straight up chilled thanks) and my now and again favorite drink....(drinking one right now)... Southern comfort and Diet Vanilla Coke (or that new Coke Zero Vanilla). I HATE southern comfort most times. Stumbled on this drink awhile back because it's what I had handy. Very tasty.
Chris
When you're knee deep in mud, bullets flying overhead...remember..your weapon was made by the lowest bidder.
I did most of my drinking right out of high school. Now I stick to wine (good stuff when I can afford it....Wild Vines when I can't lol), and am trying to develop a taste for good beer. Dunno why I don't like beer...but I'm sure I can acquire a taste for it.

For the ultimate shot order a Jersey Turnpike...at least that is what we call it up here in NY.
I call that one a Grey Ghost.
:laugh: best if you are ordering one of those for someone else. I personally haven't had one. A bunch of us went out for my friends' 21st, and the bar tender happened to be a friend of ours, well he mixed up the shot and gave it to the birthday boy...he never knew what he drank till about a week later.
Buddy of mine was tending bar and we had a real asshat sitting at the bar. Ocassionally my bud would have a shot or drink setting to the side that didn't get served and if it was something he knew I liked he would pass it over to me instead of dumping it. Jerk off figured out what was happening and kept whining about it so when he went to the latrine the grey gohst was fixed and sat to the side. It musta been pretty nasty because the dude puked almost instantly.

Ive been gone for a few days but i think i know what you guys are talking about.
The "Grey ghost" and the"jersey Trunpike" are known as the Slippery slug or the pa turnpike down here. I always save those for idiots at the bar or for some kids 21st. But mostly for kicks i give away one free drink at the end of the night...(that one) sometimes i have takers and othertimes not so much. but no matter what you cant beat the reactions it gets.

It's not that... they're just wondering who let you out of the kitchen.
If they knew what I could(n't) do in the kitchen, they'd forbid me from ever going back into one.
So I'm housesitting for a friend, and raided his liquor cabinet/fridge. Found mountain dew code red (yum) and smirnoff vanilla (ehh...).. mixed em, and chugged it. We'll wait for results.

if you have the money or are just celelbrating something special, have them order or pick up a bottle of "Patron Platinum" Its different then regular partron. This stuff is the same proff but goes down like water. You dont even have to worry about chilling it. This stuff has been specially grown using genetically superior agave palnts grown over the last 10 years. This stuff if a little pricey ranging from $160 to $190 a bottle, depending on where you live. Once you have tasted it, its difficult to go back to the regular.
Sipping tequilla = tres generaciones.
indeed nate ive got a bottle of that in my cellar. ( drunken VERY rarely), and youre right about the taste, and bp agreed, id quote you, but the adolf quoting machine is broken
The Worst Tequila I ever Drank was 4 Fingers.I never found a Tequila I didn't Like until I bought that. 30/30 is Pretty good to be Wormless.
I used to Frequent a Mexican Resturant back a Couple of Years Ago when I done Landscaping it the Big City.Me and My cousin were Regulars Everyday 5 or 6 Days a Week.I watched them Mixing up a Batch of Margarita's and Every Gallon consisted of a 1/5th of Tequila. :icon_mrgreen: A 1 Gallon Pitcher was $5.00 with Lunch and Came with Free Buffalo Wings.We got Full and Drunk for less than $20 for Both of us. :thumb: On our way out the Door we would Ask for a 40oz Draft Budweiser to go. :laugh: :laugh: Of Course that didn't work. :cry:
MMMMMMMM... three fingers of amaretto on ice... tasty..
Opps :oops: Maybe it was three Fingers. :oops: It was so Bad I had to forget it. :laugh: Nasty. :icon_confused:
well, the first 3 fingers is gone.. time to pour 4 more..
BEWARE THE TOMMY BAHAMA RUM...!!! :nono: :nono: If there are any rum drinkers out there or tommy fans.. please dont waste your money on this stuff. they are trying to make money off of their name not their product.

I'm a beer man meself, occasionally a bottle of red and some port & once in a blue moon I'll have some scotch.

$OCKA AND ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took the wife to new orleans last weekend for our 1 year anniversary, drank lotsa booze.
Pat O'briens bartenders in the courtyard make a 7 layer shot and you can taste all the different flavors as it goes down, it was excellent.
You have to keep it kinda down low because its so hard to layer that many alchohols in a shot it takes about 10 minutes to get them made.
Having my 28th party tonight, I'm going to teach my liver whos boss.
Amen, show that dirty bastard who's in charge :laugh: :cheers: Happy B-day!
I'm bumping this ancient thread because I stumbled across it and it was a great read!!!!!!!!!!
My faves:
pretty much any beer (but if I go to buy some, they know my regular is Hamm's)
the orange MD 20/20
Ten High or Black Velvet
any vodka is fine with me too
I'll help you revive this zombie. :D
I'm partial to craft/microbrew beer. Basically anything that's not SAB-Miller-Coors. The darker the better. Craft cider and mead are also high on the list.
With regard to liquor, I'm partial to the homemade Kahlua our friend makes. Occasionally, some whiskey or rum if the mood catches me right. But I'm more into sipping than shooting anymore, so quality matters.
I drink, therefore I am.
Vodka right out of the bottle. Sometime with a warm Natural Ice on the side.
Moonshine is good too.
Mezcal if I need to forget something.
Liquor is my job. So...
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/923/539pQb.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/pn539pQbj)
It's a little low right now, I normally maintain more tequilas and rums and one or two vodkas, but with independence day...
Got some good beers in the fridge, too. Partial to dark, and partial to Founder's out of Michigan.

What a collection! And...you gave away a bottle of Pappy?! Can we be (great) friends?
I LOVE bourbon. As far as spirits are concerned, that's pretty much all I'm guaranteed to have on hand at any given time. I'm lucky to live only a couple hours north of the heart of bourbon country - I've visited the Maker's Mark distillery last year, and plan to head back down that way to tour some of the others in the coming years.
I recently bought a cabinet at a local antique mall that I've repurposed into a bar cabinet...now it's time to fill it up. Right now there's a bottle of 1792 and a bottle of Maker's Mark in there, along with a bottle of Jameson Caskmates, Captain Morgan, and Bacardi rum. I also enjoy a good craft beer, particularly pale ales. Cincinnati has a relatively new brewery called Rhinegeist that has some phenomenal ales. They just had their three year anniversary, and are expanding pretty rapidly - if you like beer, keep an eye out for their brews.

Watcher, did I mention the 2016 KBS I need to find an occasion to consume?
Yeah, I've got some KBS I'm waiting to drink as well. Founders has a coffee brown ale called Sumatra Mountain thats pretty awesome. Not nearly as heavy, more drinkable on the whole.
Also have a few limited release Dragon's Milks.
I was impressed with Jameson's Caskmate. You can actually taste the Guinness on it.
New Holland has a Beer Barrel Bourbon which is aged in Dragon's Milk but it was a total miss if you ask me. Needs water to bring out any beer flavor, and at that point you've thinned out the whiskey too much.
Where you located Watcher? You seem to know a lot about my local beers.
I'm in the South suburbs of Chicago.
Anyone on Untappd? It's a pretty cool app for tracking what brews you've tried, and especially for finding good local beers/bars while traveling. :cheers:
yamahonkawazuki makes a lot more sense now that I know he drinks. I love you my namesake, king of shitposts.
And now you guys know why I dont make sense most of the time. LOL. Naaaa, that's all me, only time I am coherent is when I'm hammered.
BTW I find that between drinks 1 and 2 I am the most productive when working on small and delicate crap, like amps. I'd never cut one of those open and leave it splayed on my truck's tailgate and power it on to test when I am 100% sober. Past drink 2 I am useless, I'd power it on, and fry something. Between 1 and 2 - I have the courage to do it, and not have lost the hands yet, I guess.
Anyway let this thread live on, thanks Zombie thread fans.
Cool.
Buddha.
Zombie threads ftw!! Hehe :embarrassed:
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds some productive/constructive benefits to drinking. I'm really really ocd/clean/organized all the time but sometimes (like normal people) I find it hard to get up the energy/motivation to do a project.
If I have a beer or 5, I get kinda like super focused and rip though a project... and a lot of times I even have tons of energy left over to tackle another smaller project or two. It's crazy !!
I'll pretty much try anything. Since I'm an Aussie, beer is a given. Tooheys New is the go to drink, Great Northern if I'm at the local bar and the shits on Happy Hour.
As far as spirits are concerned, anything goes. I don't mind some scotch, Glenfiddich is a go to since it's cheapish and it's a pretty good drop, Johnny Walker if I'm mixing. Rum makes me punchy, so I usually steer clear of it, but Bundaberg Rum is always delicious when I wanna get into a fight with a stranger at 3 in the morning. And some Jack Daniels never goes astray either.
As far as productivity goes, I start drinking, I couldn't be stuffed doing shaZam!. I wind down when I booze up, I ain't taking on a new project when I'm getting hammered.
woot!!! :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
I admit, I'm not the type that can have just one drink. The only way that happens is if that's all there is... and I never let that happen ;)
How did I not see this thread before? Amazing.
If I do drink, it's usually beer. Some favorites:
- Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout
- Sierra Nevada Narwhal Imperial Stout (simply stunning for a mass produced "craft" beer)
- Bell's Double Cream Stout
- Bell's Kalamazoo Stout
- Red Hare Sticky Stout (local)
- Blue Tarp Funk Weisse (local)
If I can't find any of those, I'll settle for Yuengling; especially draft. Otherwise, I'll either order a Disarono & Cranberry w/ lime or a Kahlua and H&H. Personally I prefer Kamora over Kahlua; it seems slightly less sweet.
With Cincinnati being the big German city that it is (Oktoberfest Zinzinnati is the second largest in the world, only to Munich), Oktoberfest season is starting up here this weekend. My wife, kids, and I will be at an Oktoberfest celebration essentially every weekend for the next month or so. That means lots of delicious food and beer in my near future! Can't wait!
I'm going all Showbiz on a 6-pack of 'Brew Free or Die IPA' right now. Anyone joining me?
:woohoo:
:cheers:
:D :D :D
Since we're about to ring in the New Year, it seems like a good time to revive this one. What's everyone drinking this weekend?
My brother-in-law bought me a bottle of Woodford Reserve for Christmas, so I'll likely be sipping on that. When the ball drops, we'll enjoy a glass of cheap champagne (because I couldn't tell you the difference between a $15 bottle and a $150 bottle).
My other BIL has what he says is a nice scotch in his cabinet - we're celebrating at his house - so I may give that a try, but I'm not much of a scotch drinker. I much prefer American whiskeys.
Not too much different for me here... I'll be drinking Hamm's as always ;)
Gonna have my friend Ashley over to my house to exchange Christmas gifts and then hang out 'til the new year. She likes those Seagrams Escapes drinks so I bought some of those.
rscottlow I'm with ya on the scotch... never cared for it much but I do love whiskey and bourbon !!
I'll probably have a few beers, but I haven't gone and bought anything specific. Maybe I'll go get some hard root beers or something lol.
There ya go!! A little something different is good :)
Anybody wanna throw me some suggestions for what I can mix with a 2 liter of 7up that I've had for a while now?
Like not 2 or 3 things, just one. And not sloe gin because I've done that one to death lmao. Some kind of flavored vodka maybe? I have no idea because I don't mix drinks... but I am sick of looking at that soda sitting in my bar fridge :icon_razz:
Buddy of mine brought over some Pumpkin beers around Halloween..... wow. Glad those are seasonal!
QC, the root beer is good but try the cream soda (vanilla ale maybe?). I like cream soda, so I sucked them down.

How about 7 and 7? (that is, Seagrams 7 and 7-Up). Not the best tasting drink out there, but if you're looking for something simple...and cheap...
ShowBiz, 7UP or Sprite is pretty good paired with any fruity vodka (raspberry, blueberry, grape, etc), I think.
Rich, I've had a few hard sodas and I've yet to have one that I didn't at least think was drinkable. The root beers are my favorite for sure, though. I do like cream soda though, so I'll have to give the cream ones a try.
The Henry's Hard Orange Soda is actually pretty tasty too.

Take it from a liquor consultant, Woodford is THE BEST $30 American Whiskey you can get, and represents excellent value. It tastes well above its market. I'd pay $40 for it without even blinking. Maybe not $50, but at $30 it's a bargain.
I don't know what I'll be drinking. I know for a fact it'll be a whiskey.
Weller Wheated Bourbon, Johnnie Gold, JD Single BBL and/or rye... Something unique but not outrageously expensive nor that difficult to find. New year's Eve is a special occasion but it's not like a wedding or a career leap or anything...
If I'm feeling excited I might get out the Yamazaki 12, or the Angel's Envy Rye.
No way I'm opening any Sinatra.
If I end up going by my cousin for the evening I'll bring the Booker's I got for Xmas to share. Otherwise I'm going to save it.
And of course a tradition as old as time itself, Welches Sparkling Grape Juice for Das Kinder, and I won't be able to resist myself!
@ShowBiz
Any fruity drink will mix with citrus soda. Berry moonshine will work well, so will any vodka.
But being a fan of brown liquor I would be remiss if I didn't recommend brandy.
It's made of distilled grapes so it has some fruitiness, but it's subtler. You won't be "killing it" with 7up like you would a vodka where the vodka flavors the 7up, you want the brandy to be the focal point while the 7up adds some effervescence and a lighter finish.
I like Spanish Brandy. It's WAY better than the "staples" like E&J at a fraction of the cost of Cognac. Don Pedro or Torres 10 are good choices and won't break the bank ~$20.

Hamm's? Really? Do they still make Hamm's? I remember Hamm's was like $4.99 a case back in the day.
Haha, it couldn't be much more than that now, but yes they do still make it. I only know that because my great uncle buys it every now and then...Hamm's employees are union, and he's a retired union crane operator.
lmao yeah I like Hamm's !!
It's $14.25 for a 30pk at the store right down from my house.
But if anyone is ever kind enough to pass a more expensive beer my way, believe me, I'm all for it :icon_mrgreen:
My share of the beer given to my/the garbage truck this year was.. 27 bottles of various parentage (375 ml).. Thats my year sorted out if i go hard! Lmao

I started ~5 pm with buffalo trace on the rocks with some lemon - yes I am a bourbon heretic ... without lemon that bugger tastes salty as brine to me.
After about 3-4 of those - cant be more exact, I was drinking out of a coffee cup and the ice was preventing me from looking properly in my glass, I had a small round of egg nog with southern comfort.
That bookended a mainly salad like dinner (made with weeds growing in my yard) some sardines and fried chicken. Then ate some fruit cake, gulab jamun, ladoo, jhangri for dessert.
What ball dropping, I was in bed by 10:30, sadly pushing 50 isn't the time to watch no ball dropping. You're kinda worried about your own staying right where they supposed to be.

I re-learned the eating is not cheating rule a few days ago. Went OUT with my brother and some friends and I'd only eaten a packet of crisps that day, Thursday was a complete write off. I was dealing with a heart attack hangover and kept passing out all day. Slept through most of Thursday. :oops:
I drove nearly 300 miles yesterday and my friend cancelled our plans, so I stayed in, had a couple of Russian Standard and Dr. Pepper and spent 5 hours trying to hacksaw the fixings holding on the licence plate bracket (still haven't got them off) :mad: and watching the Grand Tour 2-parter.
Happy new year :cheers:

I ended up going to a movie that didn't get out until 11pm so my "bartender" was serving light.
Had a snifter of some Weller, joined the youngin' with some sparkling grape-juice, ran outside with some sparklers and silly-string, then reheated some BBQ pulled pork and chased it with a Dr. Pepper.
Fin.
I had a couple of glasses of woodford, and then switched to wild turkey and ginger ale later on. Had a glass of champagne at midnight.
I ate way too much. I made black bean and corn salsa, taco dip, and Black Forest pie. We also had guacamole, tomato salsa, little caesars pizza, some jalapeño dip, cheeseball, little smokies, and probably more that I'm forgetting. Now I'm recovering.

After spending most of late teens and early twenties absolutely wasted, but time well spent, I calmed down to just a few Newcastle Browns and a couple of Jagers or Vodka's. There are some good local breweries to me making some awesome home brew beer thats right up my street.

Anyone on Untappd? It's a pretty cool app that lets you record and rate the beers you've tasted. It suggests local venues and beers, which is especially cool if you like to try local beers when you travel. I wish I would've used it back when I drank a lot more beer than I do now, but I've recorded 134 unique beers. I would bet that I've had at least 1000. I've got the same username over there if anyone else uses the app.
I like a carlton draught stubbie or ten. Had a few tonight, just quietly.

I have run the gamut of cheap Bourbon-Vodka.
I have this thought. I think I can explain how America won the cold war.
Cheap bourbon is far more drinkable than cheap vodka.
Anyway had lots of variations, coffee beans in bourbon, Kentucky gentleman, Ten high, and a few more. The cheap bourbons are pretty plain tasting. Which suits me well. The complex flavor bourbons (Buffalo trace, Bulleit, laphrohaig others) taste salty to me. I'm happy with the under $20 for a 1.75l set. Start crossing that and I will not buy it without a free sample (which on thu, fri, sat - they do have @ my local fave store) and most of the time they are sampling the high $$$$ stuff. Bulleit is supposed to be cinnamon and this and that, sadly, its lost on me. Laphrohaig is good, but I should have a bit more before deciding, that day I had just finished a big lunch and was pretty bored and sleepy.
Cool.
Buddha.
Well, Laphroig is a Single Malt Scotch-Whiskey, and a super smokey one at that, I find it odd that it's on your list if you're a cheap bourbon drinker.
My go to bourbon is Woodford Reserve. It's a hair over $30 for a fifth depending on where you go. It's well oaked for sipping, but not complex enough that you feel like you're missing something if you aren't a connoisseur or happen to be shooting it.
That being said my "cheap" buy tends to be Maker's Mark. Right in line with Jack and Jim for pricing (just a little bit more) but you get so much more flavor.

Maker's tends to run about $28 around here, which is closer to the price of Woodford than Jim Beam. I'm actually planning a trip to the distillery sometime this summer to pick up a bottle from my "Ambassador" barrel, and to take their Heritage Tour. The plan is to hit a couple of other distilleries while I'm in the Louisville area.
For a less expensive bourbon, I like Four Roses which tends to be a couple bucks less around here.
Enjoying a glass of Elijah Craig Small Batch this evening. I've been working on building my bourbon collection, but I just keep drinking it all...
This is my brother-in-law's bar. I'd love to have just a fraction of his collection. He's got close to twice what is displayed on the bar in this photo. Most of the good stuff I drink comes from him.

Doing some light weight camping next week......what say my fellow Twinners? Vodka & Gatorade, whiskey & hot chocolate, Jack and coke, kahlua & coffee, etc? Anybody have any other good camping drinks?
Brinley Gold Shipwreck coffee flavored rum.
F'ing amazing!
Or Ol' Major Bacon.
Also F'ing amazing!
Sweet-tea moonshine... Pretty good choice as well.
Nice this thread is back up.
I've tried more like R&R, R&R apple, margaritaville rum, el cheapo flavored vodka, spiced rum and working on a pineapple rum now.
I've made a whisky sour that I think is a killer. And best of all, no sugar or anything else that causes an insulin response.
I have fermented apple juice that ~6% alcohol and no digestible carbs, but you could sub in a bit of apple cider vinegar maybe diluted 1-4 with water. 40gm whisky - cheap crap like R&R works well. 40 gm apple juice ferment, 20 gm lemon juice, and a tiny bit of sucralose.
Drink slow over a few hours and its damn fine.
No woodford or bulleit yet. I am likely to work on the cheap rack a bit before working my way up closer to the cold times when neat whisky works better.
Cool.

irish coffee.
(jamisons and coffee.) no set recipe. it depends on your level of irishness. back when i drank, i had an irish coffee mug. (tall) graduated. with lines. line at bottom says "youre irish only in spirit fill to here with irish whiskey, rest with coffee. to the line at the top it says " youre irish to the core" fill to here with irish whiskey, f**k the coffee.
i did this once lol. me and jamison were great friends that night.
Aaron
Oh Yamahon - do you put cream and sugar in it ?
I have tried bourbon with espresso beans ... its good, in fact the espresso beans made into espresso afterwards is even better.
Anyway how's that better than Kahlua or kamora with cream. On second thought, Yea don't bother answering that, Kahlua is basically candy masquerading as coffee with alcyhol in it.
Cool.
Buddha.
At the time, and depending upon how much I would have weighed down the cup with Jamison. Lol. But then usually 2 shots, into regular coffee. Perhaps with sweetened condensed milk. No sugar
Aaron
I guess I'll try whisky, coffee, cream and sucralose.
Or first try it without the 'lose ... add if needed.

Bourbon Cream from Buffalo Trace might be right up your alley. Great stuff, albeit hard to find in some parts of the country.
I just opened up a new bottle of Woodford this evening. Also RSVP'ed with Maker's Mark to go pick up my ambassador bottle from them at the end of this month. We're going to tour the distillery, and also take a tour of Buffalo Trace on the way home. Can't wait!

I'm not much of a JD drinker, but I've heard their distillery is quite the sight. Next weekend will be my wife's first distillery tour - she's not much of a drinker, but I think she'll enjoy the history and the landscapes and architecture that they have to offer. If all goes well, this trip will be the first of many. Being so close to the bourbon trail, I'd like to make it around to all of the big distilleries sooner or later. I'm taking some cash with me next weekend in hopes of scoring a couple nice bottles...I'll report back :icon_lol:
We converted our upstairs game room(s) into an English pub.
My wife and I are not big drinkers at all. I can take it or leave it. I enjoy the taste of some drinks and don't ever drink to "get drunk"... I'm a 1-beer-in-one-day kind of guy.
Anyway, in the pub I keep:
Shiner Bock (intermittently)
Blue Moon or Shock Top (intermittently)
Tito's Vodka
Jameson
Tomatin 12yr single malt
occasionally a 15-18 year highland scotch like Tomatin 18 or Macallan 15
Parrot Bay coconut rum (my wife digs this with pineapple juice or a coke)
Appleton Estate 12yr rum
Devil's Backbone
Paulaner Salvatore (my son-in-law likes this)
I'm searching for the right cognac to keep around
might put some Canadian whiskey on the shelf along with Bulleit
For me I can always drink a Devil's Backbone or just about any other good Belgian trippel. I occasionally will drink a neat whisky, mostly scotch or cognac, but sometimes Jameson.
I also have a couple of coffee makers in the bar, one is sort of a pod-espresso machine (K-Fee) and a Keurig. A shot of Carnavale espresso (CBTL) from the K-Fee machine with an ounce of Jameson is lovely. The Keurig also makes a pretty good Irish coffee with the Major Dickason as long as you stick to the smallest cup.
Our pub is really not about drinking. It's about having a place to hang out and spend time together, play games, talk, listen to music, we have meals here, and frankly I work from home most of the time and do so from the pub. But it's a lot more authentic with some good spirits on hand. I still don't know how to make any mixed drinks besides the random stuff my wife likes, which are super simple. Our liquor collection is far more about decoration and sharing with friends than it is about us drinking.

I've always been a sucker for Tesseron but it can be a bit pricey at around $90 a bottle. For around half of that Remy Martin 1738 is very mellow, and D'usse is more on the fruity side. It's been so long since my daily exposure to liquors that I don't remember all the nuances of the Pierre Ferrand name but his stuff is all good and can be reasonably priced.
I would avoid the big/common names like Hennessy, Hardy, Martell, and Courvoisier, though Remy Martin VSOP isn't too bad. I consider Remy to be, like, the Jack Daniel's of Cognac. The regular stuff is just ok, but the higher end offerings are actually really good (such as the 1738).
BUT!!!
If you're a single-malt scotch drinker I would be remiss if I didn't suggest Armagnac instead of Cognac. Armagnac is the same base liquor (it's brandy), but where it differs is Armagnac is distilled once in a column still, barrelled, then bottled, while Cognac is double-distilled in pot-stills, barrelled, and then blended before bottling. The result is much the same as in scotches, a blend tends to be a bit smoother and more balanced while a single-malt is more flavorful and much more interesting to drink.
Two great names in Armagnac are Marie Duffau and Delord. They're actually related, and it should be quite obvious from the bottles. Both have offerings starting in the $40 range, Duffau tends to be a little sweeter (think Speyside) and Delord a little more savory (think Highlands).
Chateau du Tariquet is a great affordable Armagnac if you just want to try one before you get into it, it's a bit lighter and more delicate than either Duffau or Delord, or if you want to go for the gusto but not break the bank Dartigalongue has an excellent lineup starting around $50.
Once again I'm a little removed from my tasting notes, I would talk to a local liquor consultant at a nice store like Binny's or BevMo! or TotalWine and get their opinion based on your Scotch profile.
Which reminds me, I need to get a brandy/cognac/armagnac for my cabinet, I'm sorely lacking in that region of brown liquor.
Could also use a rum, I have a small amount of Plantation left and even less of my Coffee rum. Been a while since I shopped for rums, but I still remember my favorites. I hate Appleton with a passion, but I'd gladly take some Real McCoy I and much prefer something like Plantation, Zaya, or Diplomatico. Spiced rum can stay on the shelf where it belongs.
Could also use a single-malt. I think all I have right now for scotch is some super peaty stuff like Ardbeg and some white-bread J-Walker. Might have some Japanese single-malt left, too, but that's not really "I'm feeling a drink" whiskey. Probably go straight for the Rum-cask Balvenie, that stuff is ridiculously good!
I need to kill some of what I have here first, though. Problem is, a lot of stuff I would be killing I'd want to immediately replace, like my Del-Bac Mesquite whiskey and Angel's Envy Rye. But I have some stuff that's also either hard to find or I'm just not a super big fan of so I simply don't want to drink those. Weller is awesome but when I used to sell it the stuff was very hush-hush since quantities were super limited, I have a bottle but I doubt it would be easy to replace. I've also got a bottle of Blade and Bow Bourbon and I hate it. Been trying to kill it in some soda but it's just not cut out for that job. I might just cut my loss and dump it out. Hate to see a "good" whiskey go down the drain, but I can't gift an open bottle and I'm not really going to drink it so...
Enjoyed some McKenna 10 on Saturday. This was the first time I've had it, and it was pretty good. Between myself and some of the other groomsmen in my brother-in-law's wedding, we nearly killed the bottle.

The SR is pretty obtainable around here if you venture south of the Ohio River. Finding the Weller 12 or Antique 107 is a different story, though. I scored a bottle of Eagle Rare on Saturday, and was pretty pleased with myself...
I had also liked disaronno amaretto or was it amaretto disaronno? Loved this stuff. Been a while I forget. But it worked great baking as well.
