Expect a bottle of something around Christmas Bro. Don't know why that MM leaked like it did. Must have been the "Angel's" cut

5 saint rum from Norristown distillery just outside Philly. Maple/bourbon flavor. Great on 1 ice cube in my 2A glass, watching the voice with my Puerto Rican queen. Gonna knock out a leather wallet tomorrow.

So there I was on the mountain, post ski, sipping some Smooth Ambler Old Scout and my sister in law said she liked vodka or tequila. Specially vodka because it has no flavor. And so I went into how Tequila as a blanco is meant to have tons of flavors. And then you get to Reposado and Anejos with barrel impact changing the spirit to create something tasty when sipped neat. She likes vodka for the cocktails I guess.
But dear friends...we can make great cocktails with bourbon and aged rums. Neutral spirits are for hand sanitizer!

I am out and have not made it to the store. I am dependent upon Sam (Sam Adams) to get me through today.
Maria's nephew made vanilla bean and Nutella coquito. Can't fucking wait...

Beautiful. Legit question: how often do you partake, and how long will it take you to finish a bottle? I can't seem to hold onto a bottle longer than a couple weeks; thus, I don't have a collection.

Fair question, Doc.
Bakers is kind of my regular sipper and I’ll use for Old Fashions sometimes as I think you need a higher alcohol content to break though the sugar and bitters.
The others I sip at or save for special occasions. That 18 year Jura in the top left is one of the smoothest scotches I’ve ever hard.

The longest I kept hold of a bottle was Hooten Young, maybe....a month? My go to, because I like it and it's cheap, I kill in about a week's time.

I usually kill a fifth in about 2 weeks, but I don't collect. I go out to get a bottle with the intention of having it around if and when Whiskey 6 and I feel like having a couple (She doesn't drink bourbon). I still drink Jim Beam and coke as a go to, so the lower alcohol content doesn't stick around as long my Maker's.

Some of us like to taste the rainbow. I have like 300+ bottles. Pandemic helped that. If anyone pops through Dallas and wants a drink.

I am super sad, almost clinically depressed. I am out of every bit of whiskey and bourbon,. My dear wife says I have to wait until next payday lol.
I think I have a problem.

The problem you have is that you're out of alcohol

Random observation-
I enjoy bourbon neat, but many scotches are just too ‘mediciney’ for me without a cigar. A few minutes into a cigar any my palate changes enough to absolutely appreciate a good scotch.
The 3 noticeable exceptions to this for me are the Isle of Jura 18, Balvene 12, and the Dalmore Cigar Malt.

How shitty has French champagne gotten that they feel threatened by Miller High Life?
