The ginger beer I've found that I like the best overall is Stoli brand. It has the right combo of bite and sweetness and is at a pretty nice price point.

I've probably went through a dozen different ginger beers with Moscow and Kentucky Mules and I've settled on Stoli because it's readily available and I like the taste the best.

Don't know if y'all are Irish Whiskey drinkers or not, but Tullamore Dew's 15 year Trilogy is damn good. Highly recommend picking it up if you see one. Very smooth, very tasty.

Had some John Bowman, it's bourbon from Virginia (I know...) - as good as anything I've had. No idea what it costs, but it's worth buying.

For our fantasy draft everyone brought a bottle, and this won. Better than Col Taylor Small Batch, Blade & Bow, Booker's, Blaton's, Slaughterhouse, Maker's, and Jefferson's Ocean.

Honestly though, those are all amazing drinks.

It's not a bad burbon whatsoever but it just seems to not be as smooth as what I'm used to.

I think the 4 rose single barrel is top notch for it's price point. Much more so than Maker's. And Maker's 46 is much better than standard Maker's which I don't think is that great.

I have a bottle of the Old Scout 7 year. It's a good pour but nothing out of this world about it. I picked up a bottle in Colorado Springs for around $30. It was readily available. Have yet to see a bottle anywhere in Wichita.

Similar here on finding a bottle, for whatever reason. Maybe I'll skip it.

Total Wine is re-stocking 1792 sweet wheat here this October, so I might pick up one of those instead based on your Old Scout take.

Thanks!

No problem. Report back on the Sweet wheat if you pick up a bottle.

If you can find it I would highly recommend Rowan's Creek. It was around $40. Really enjoyed it and immediately wished I would have picked up 2 bottles when I was in Co Springs.

In fact all the Willett bourbons I've tried have been damn good.

I will be getting some Norlan glasses soon.

I had thought I had tried the sweet wheat but I realize now it was a different 1792 and I think it was the full proof? But not sure. How many different 1792 bourbons do they run?

Penguinz you know?

I think that's the 1792 lineup

Enjoy your night!

It's ok to be wrong, Flopnuts! :D

A bit below the belt.

Yep same for me Evan Williams Black is aok in my book for a daily drinker though im not a daily drinker anymore. I keep several bottles of single barrel for weekends and special occasions but not four roses its just not smooth with a proper finish. I have sampled so many small batch Bourbons, many I like some I just really liked all but the price for the money I am never disappointing with Buffalo Trace.

1 of the above Buffalo Trace and 2 Glencairn Whiskey Glasses.

Nothing fancy like you.

Wife likes these flavored whiskey for making drinks but the Crown Royal Apple is much better than the Beam. She likes to mix it with Cranberry juice for a Washington apple drink. I still prefer to do equal parts of Crown, cranberry juice and sour pucker for a Washington Apple, however.

So, for pussy talk I'd just like to say that Crown Royal Vanilla is ****ing life!!! It's too ****ing good.

they only "finish" the whiskey in port barrels, i think for 2 additional years. it gives a little different sweetness and oak character. i'm not a fan of the 1792 expressions, but the port finished version was pretty good.

We bought some Crown Honey and I love it in lemonade, Crown Maple too. Great summer drinks to sip while in the pool.
