Whiskey drinkin

[marty8587]

Crown Royal with a little ice. For a refreshing drink I like a vodka cranberry. Smirnoff works well for me, just stay away from the HRD!

HRD Vodka is for potato suckers

Weird. I have enough hair in my chest and back for about 5 normal people and I don't know how you guys can sip whiskey.

I always hear it's an aquired taste, I'm still waiting for it to be aquired.

I'm taking notes though.

You got it backwards friend, you don't acquire it, it acquires YOU!

Redbreast or Jameson Select Reserve Black Barrel...neat

Still some left in the bottle from last night ya'll don't mind a Friday night snort now do ya?

So I like my whiskey old and my guns old and my cars old but my wemins well if they have aged as gracefully as whiskey does.

I like makers, jack, and gent jack straight and warm. The only way to drink bourbon imo. Need to spend $30.00 + for decent bourbon now days, just the way it is. There's one that I tried recently though called lexington. Nice flavor, really smooth, and won't break the bank.

C.W. Irwin made in bend, good clean strong flavor

All I use vodka for is Bloody Mary's so I'm not tasting any difference price/quality wise for sure.

Try a Bloody with tequila instead of vodka. Bloody Maria as we call it. Some love it, some don't.

Some of you Angels on this thread ought to try some Devils Cut { Jim Beam product} But.... I don't want to tempt you.

 

[xlsbob]

Good old Gentleman Jack at my house, room temp and never diluted. Devils Cut isnt bad either when it's time for something different.

Very proud of all of you. Four pages of discussion and only one reference to that overpriced, overrated swill known as Pendleton.

It's nice to know that I'm in good company.

Ive always considered blends what you choose if you want to add a little coke or 7 up, so they have their place.

Now you know I love a great scotch too. Vodka not too much unless I'm hung over and it's in a bloody Mary. Gin gets me in trouble and tequila got me engaged 30 years ago and I didn't remember the next morning!
Yup and I'm still married to her so I don't drink tequila anymore because bigamy is illegal!

Last summer I was selling a couple of items to a member from this site, when he invited me to meet him at a members & guests only barbeque in NE Portland.
It was held at a cigar shop and besides the great food, they offered Heineken beer and single malt whiskey.
It was the first time I have tasted top drawer Scottish whiskey and it ruined me for life.

 

[nehalemguy]

Well sorry to insult your over educated taste buds.

Sorry JJ. I know you were singled out on that one.

I was fortunate to have a taste of the original introduction of Pendleton in 2003 and thought it quite good. Later when it became widely available I tried it again and quickly became convinced that HRD had pulled a classic bait and switch on us. Very harsh aftertaste and a screaming headache the next day.

HRD has done a great job marketing the line as "cowboy whiskey" but having it priced $1-2 more than Maker's or Bulliet (in Oregon) should be a crime IMO.

Old Weller 107 has become my go to sippin' whiskey. Same ingredients as Pappy, different barrels, and only aged 7 years. Best $25ish bottle of booze you can get, in my opinion.
