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

[BloodStripe]

I agree with your disagreement. IMHO, scotches and bourbons are to be sipped; not mixed. If you cannot tolerate them neat, then drink a better quality hooch. The rare exception being a quality Old Fashioned.

I've drank Pappy 15 mixed with Coke before. Fucking delicious.

Hate because....you’re drinking Pappy/Cokes and I have not even sipped a Pappy yet!

I support this decision, there is a time for sipping and contemplating and then there is a time when you want to mix a high tier anejo with peach tea.

If I could take back all those bottles I chugged back in the early 2000's I could probably retire.

I'll disagree. Just because it costs more and is typically smoother, drink to what you think tastes good.

I won't begrudge a man for drinking the sissy drinks when they taste good either. Just load it with alcohol.

Bunch of whiskey snobs!

Makers Mark on two ice cubes 3 finger pour and hide the bottle after my third glass.

Jim Beam at the deer camp, BYOB as I'm gonna dance in the fire by nights end.

Wild Turkey American Honey on my pancakes please!

Select Club Pecan Praline on my vanilla ice cream.

And I never turn down Crown Royal... Ever!

I'll drink all that other high dollar bullshit too, but I sure as hell ain't buying it. It all taste the same after the first glass anyway.

Brother In Law in town, decided to finally open up the Jim Beam Signature Spanish Brandy finished Bourbon...it was soooo smooth. The hints of Brandy were nice.

I just got a bottle of tyrconnel Irish whiskey the other day and it's easily one of my favorites now

Bunch of whiskey snobs!.

Wouldn't say I'm a snob. If it tastes good I'll drink it. One of my favorite bourbons is a $35 bottle. But, I'm also not afraid to go out and treat myself to a few really nice bottles a couple of times per year. I just don't tell ny wife the real price.

"Oh that one, yea I paid $150 for it." Instead of, "Oh that one, yea I paid $600 for it." We have a mutual agreement in that I don't ask how much she spends on clothes and she leaves my bourbon collection alone.

Heh. We can go real poison.

I'm sure plenty of us can bring up the reeeeal bottom drawer shit we've come across, in the shadowy corners of the globe.

How many of you have been unfortunate enough to come across this shit:

Yes, it does look like rubbing alcohol.

Yes, it does taste like it looks.

I can't knock a guy for spending big money on a good bourbon. I just haven't found anything I like more than Makers Mark. But then again I haven't tried anything else since I found it.

 

[The Accountant]

Larceny Bourbon is worth a try. Pretty good stuff, full and sweet.

 

[Devildoc]

Happy, happy, happy....

 

[Chopstick]

Tonight we are having gin, Bombay Sapphire. But if you hit search I think I have posted that already. A bunch.

@Diamondback 2/2 if you like Crown, give Pendleton a try if you haven't already.

Well, Pendleton is Canadian...it's just bottled in Oregon.

Had some Makers Mark as my desert, I never drink during the week, but it was only 8PM and the FIL was in our house.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

I am thankful for belated birthday gifts!

Have a friend that runs a speakeasy esque bar was treated to some Ichiro Malt and Grain, for my first ever Japanese whiskey I think I'm in love.
