doing the Makers too

Some of the expensive 2020 reserve stuff

Kilkerran 8 year cask strength now. So freakin' good. Love that Campbeltown funk!

Never had the 8 but have had the 12.

I have been a Springbank fan for years

I really havent found a huge difference between the regular makers and things like 46 which is higher in alc content taste a little sweeter, vs the private reserve. It's not a bad product by any means but I'm not sure paying 40-50 bucks more for the upper brands made by them are justifiable

18 year is my favorite. Got a bottle as a gift for a major birthday...was saving to open it on a special occasion, but when I went to open it, found that it was 80% gone. High school children were drinking it with coke mixer. They said it was their favorite drink. :banghead:

Better you than me. I'd be posting that from jail.

The 2020 blows the other versions away, really taste the wood. 110 proof

I don't like buying the $70+ fifths but this is my second, tomorrow my third and fourth.

I have to drive to Sedona to get it.

Where are you displaying their testes?

Over the Xmas hearth, of course.

I just bought another yesterday too...it is pretty special, and I'm not sure we'll see more when it runs out.

Is that in Indiana? I have family in Evansville lucky ****ers get Blantons all the time. I guess it's not a very far drive to their distillery. Going to make the trip and load up on some EH Taylor and Blantons.

Buffalo Trace is 2.5 hours from me and 2.5 hours east of Evanston, IL. (2.5 SW on me)


I am in AZ for the rest of the winter.


I never see Blanton's where I live but in Indianapolis Payless and 21st Amendment, who help get my Blvd into IN, may have some treats for me when I come back home.

there are several cases of BCS at my local

What is highly desirable and what is a killer price?

For 2020 Regular I’ve only had Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace. Both great but no noticeable distinction that I could pick up. Feel anything lower than $12.99 is a deal. Seen some for $9.99

Kentucky Fog was a miss imo but I don’t appreciate tea so YMMV

#4 was tasty but nothing I’d go nuts for

I bought a whole set so not sure what MSRP is individually

Heard there was a special birthday today

Dang that looks wonderful. The entire picture.

Got my coffee loaded up with some Irish cream this am.

Barrel aged stouts and fireplaces are pretty much essentials during winter here

Something easy to start. Evan Williams Apple.

I had EW Single Barrel last night

Growing stuff in Phoenix is weird and fun. Roses from the yard, cut on Christmas day.

Had to pick myself up a little gift at hyvee today. At 30 bucks it was too good to pass up. I'll be having some old fashioneds after dinner tonight.

That syrup and bitters are both pretty good. A pretty nice little gift pack I'll look out for next year as well.

Might have to get this for NYE

At the price of Hella's shit that was a deal. The syrup was not to be found on their website

I was trying to find these posts earlier, but looks like i picked the same one. A couple of the bourbon drinks at a local bar use amaro, so figured I had to try it... and it's pretty tasty! :toast:

Yesterday while putting together my new TV stand, I busted out the Tito's and Simply Peach to calm my nerves before the project. LOL

First one was too strong as I expected the peach to be sweeter and heavier but it was actually the best peach juice I've ever tasted. Not syrupy or over sweet.

I had to keep adding juice to the first one to lighten up. 2nd one perfect: 1/4 vodka to 3/4 peach.

Two did the job while I finished my stand.

Waste of Tito's
Just saying

I drink the same concoction, yet a little stronger.

It is vodka. It is a throw away booze to begin with.

For NYE, I tried the Brown Sugar Bourbon and found it to be quite tasty for a low cost bourbon. It's likely going to be the replacement for the Captain Morgan as I really found it to be quite similar, but a bit smoother.

Tito's is worth the 100% increase in price over Pinnacle.

Whiskey sour.

Had some Kentucky Mules last night using this stuff. Most of the time when they say spicy they're full of shit. This one isn't. Wood reccomend.

Beer

I call them Montana Mules but same idea.

I'll have to find that. I prefer a spicy ginger beer too.

More beer!

The pours get worse as I drink!

At least that one is right side up.

Fix the CP upload function then! Jesus, it's archaic!

Started with 2 of these in the afternoon during lunch......

Is it wrong to drink Jack Honey over ice with a straw???

I just hate how things like that and Buffalo Trace are now allocated.

No. New school is awesome. But it just goes down so smooth. like candy.

Something great for a celebration tomorrow and something not so good but ok as a mixer. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e2dd649271.jpg

Top shelf vodka and soda while watching highlights and hype videos all night. Can’t be hung over tomorrow so have to stick to clear liquor so I don’t get out of hand.

Jim Beam Honey. I add a little regular Jim Bean to it to reduce the sweetness just a touch, it's just how I like it...

I can't find Stedman's anywhere.

I did find EZRA for $19 so I'm good for bourbon and Cokes but I'd like to stock up on Stedman's again at $14 for a 1.75

Going to be popping this at the end of the game for our victory celebration.

Regretting it now

Stone cold sober for this one.

Drinking local today. Starting with The Way Back In, a double NEIPA from Alma Mader.

Tasting notes from their website:
The Way Back In focuses strictly on New Zealand hops, in particular Nelson Sauvin and Moutere. Big tropical notes of passionfruit, gooseberry, and a touch of pine hit the palate right out of the gates. Incredibly unique hop characteristics that leave us wondering why New Zealand is so good at things right now.

8.0% abv

Tasting notes: passionfruit, gooseberry, pine

Curbside for me means walking over to the brewery

Pipeworks juice

I'm in the mood for Sangria. Have no idea why

:clap:

When the weather starts warming that's a great drink. I have it a few times in the summer and it's always really good.

Yep, I'll make a batch or two this summer and it's delightful.

Just a simply whiskey and ginger with a cherry dropped in.
