Adult Beverage Mega Thread: Scotch/Whiskey/Rum/Vodka/Etc

[SaintKP]

Its a great idea. In fact, not very long ago, most bourbon sat on store shelves. I could get a BTAC bottle in May even. ORVW10, Old Fitz, WLW, all could be easily had for cheap. I wish I could go back to my Marine time and save/not open all of it. I could probably buy a summer beach house.

I feel the same way, don't get me wrong I'm not going to turn down a chance to try "bucket list bourbons" but maybe it's just my nostalgia but I've always enjoyed myself more when drinking for fun instead of for an experience.

Fireball gets knocked for being mediocre but some of the best stories I can remember started with that versus VW or other high tier liquors.

Cracked my last bottle of Kentucky Owl Rye just now. I'l sure miss this bottle once it's gone. Rumor has it Batch 2 is a lower proof. Bummer.

For months I have been seeking bottle of Blantons. I have been failing.

 

[Devildoc]

Double oaked Woodford Reserve is a bourbon favorite, though.

This is what I like, too....

 

[CQB]

I like Laphroaig, Caol Isla, Oban, and Edradour (especially the port wood cask). I'll have to give that Balvenie a try sometime.

Marry me! (that's a joke Joyce, but I do like your taste in liquor)...vice is nice...

Rye vs. barley, I know wot wins.

Yeah I had trouble last year. I haven't bought a new one since finishing the last one I had.

Finally broke down and bought DelBac Dorado, a Bourbon Style Malt aged in Mesquite Barrels from down in Tucson. (I say bourbon style because I'm a Kentucky Bourbon snob). It's pretty dang good. But I tell you...when you stop drinking often and you get fitter...you can get sicker.

Black & tans. It's an art I'm trying to perfect. The one on the left is the best I've managed. Course, I drink the ones I botch . The "tan" beer is poured first, with a good head. Then the "black", the Guiness, is drizzled over the back of a spoon ever so slowly onto the head. With luck you get a well defined line between the two.

Sam Adams '76 might be the best summer beer ever. Holy fuck.

Interesting you posted that date. I was given this, it was from my wife’s grandfather after he passed away. It’ll be me and my two son’s first drink when they turn 18(ish). Lol

I really like Sam Adams beers. I think I've liked them all so far. So thanks to @CDG, I will be trying this very soon.

It is quite the interesting brew. It tastes hoppy, but I don’t get the nearly instant migraine after drinking one.

Picked up a bottle of Glenfiddich 18 year small batch reserve to share with a buddy during his wedding festivities. Will report back when I've sampled!

 

[Gunpowder]

Normally it's Jameson and Glenfiddich but as of last week...Auchentoshan 12

 

[DozerB]

Tin Cup is phenomenal.

.Auchentoshan 12

Try the Auchentoshan 18, or Cask Reserve 20
Bunnahabhain 18 is great too.
Glenmorangie.
the Glenlivet-Davis Nadura 18, 24 or 30

take out a loan first, none of those single malts is inexpensive.

For Bourbon... Willie's Big Horn Bourbon, good luck finding it... distilled by a former 3rd Batt Ranger turned 18D, he grew up in the hills of NC, so imagine how tasty his honey moonshine might be... just think pizza after SERE.

 

[Stretcher Jockey]

Checking in from the Glenfiddich: dangerously smooth with a nice smoky/spicy finish. It was hard not to continue drinking it after the wedding celebrations started

 

[Ooh-Rah]

After much searching and unwillingness to overpay, I have secured two bottles of Blantons. Nursed a glass last night with a cigar....switched to scotch after it was gone. This is not “Drink alone” bourbon.
