Whiskey drinkin

[NoFlinch]

Interesting thread...........gona try some of these recipes/products

I'm pretty much a Vodka/fresh squeezed ruby red grapefruit drinker. I drink it that way for health reasons..... all that Vit. C.

But I do have a few nice whiskeys I drink occasionally.


UNFORTUNATELY, (or fortunately),

It reminded me that I really need to go to Hilt, the first town past the border in CA, to the liquor store.

It's a nice, scenic, relaxing 1+ hour trip on I5 S (as much as any freeway driving can be ), price on liquor are about 1/2 , even with the tax, than buying in Oregon.

If I spend $500-600, I really save a lot

If ya go a little further you will save even MORE... Redding has a Bevmo, Liquor Barn and a costco. 1.75 jim beams are $19.95 + 7.25 tax.
It takes 18 hours to drive round trip and the last trip saved a close friend $588 after paying for gas. I visit him a LOT!

Bulliet................. $31.95
Maker's Mark....$29.95
Pendleton...........$24.95 (still too much )

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

Too bad Jim Beam is now owned by a Japanese company, I stopped buying Devils Cut and moved on to other drinks. Total Wine/BevMo have some pretty good selections if you like price point comparing, for my money Eagle Rare is too good to pass up.

Johnnie Walker Black Label. Mmmmmmmm.

Neat.

 

[greydog111]

So, I'm just sitting here watching television sipping on Temperance Trader whiskey a friend bought me for Christmas and coke. Pretty good whiskey and local.

Y'all need to try Eastside distillery's Burnside bourbon. Mmmmm!

 

[greydog111]

don't even need ice, keep a bottle in the freezer

Good whiskey should be consumed neat at room temp. Don't insult the maker.

I disagree...

Good Whiskey/Bourbon/Vodka/Gin, etc should be consumed in the fashion the DRINKER wants to drink it.

Don't insult the drinker......

But I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN

You can have whatever you want as long as I don't have to buy.

I'm a pretty big fan of neat bourbon and scotch. Super easy. You just pour them in a glass. Or your mouth. Or a high heeled shoe. Or a woman's navel. Or your own navel. Really, the only limit is your imagination.

My father thought it a sin to mix good whiskey with anything.

He kept a pretty good bar at home and always had all of the appropriate glassware for different drinks. I learned a lot at way too early an age.

He kept both top shelf and bottom shelf flavors on hand. If you told him you wanted your whiskey neat or on the rocks, you got the good stuff.

However, if you wanted it mixed, out came the Brokers.

Via Fark: Worst whisky in the world named World's Best Whisky






I like Crown, haven't tried this.

 

[Stomper]

Rye Whiskey.... meh.

thread back from the dead - but bourbon is good. After draining/winterizing the hose bibs/sprinkler system I realized it was kinda cool out there so I'm a few bourbons in to the warm up process. Next trip down south or back to CO I will restock as I'm down to about 4 1.75s of bourbon / whiskey

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Knob Creek Bourbon for me.
Very smooth and smokey, also its from Bourbon county Kentucky.

[Charliehorse]

I like Crown, .

Yeah I'm not a corn man. I like the smooth... course that puts us in the Whisky thread. 2 fingers, 2 cubes, repeat. NEVER any mix.

 

[RicInOR]

Back from the liquor store, the clerk said she likes Rye but didn't care for this whisky of the year.
I bought one anyways.
I get the 'spice' seems ok smooth.
I am drinking it neat - room temp.

My usual, as, of the last 4 months, has been Red Label.

Enjoy.

Beer is good
