Anyone Else Drinkin'? prt2

[capt. scotty]

I've seen some Makers bottles recently that had blue over white wax on them. Anyone know why?

I've seen those for collector's editions around here but they're always for Uof Kentucky.  Do you have a local sports team that's blue and white?

DB, you gotta try MM.  But I have to say Woodford Reserve is my favorite, MM #2.  I'm doing the WR tour next. They'll actually let you buy a barrel full of whisky (144 liters, i believe).  expensive, but you get to choose your own selected single barrel from woodford.

You got some good taste, my man!

I think WR is my favorite bourbon as well, though Eagle Rare usually gives it a run for its money whenever I get a bottle of it.  For the most bang for your buck though, I dont think you can beat Eagle Rare. Its usually 10$ or more cheaper than WR

Ive only had MM a few times, and wasnt a huge fan. Maybe expectations? I actually thought it tasted more like Canadian whiskey than bourbon  ;D

Buffalo Trace is also very good IMO and is usually only 20$ for your typical sized bottle. (Buffalo Trace is actually the distillery that makes Eagle Rare)



Sadly im stuck drinking Early Times right now  ;D ;D :-/ :o :o 8-)

Where can I get my hands on some Buffalo Trace?  Haven't seen it anywhere in my neck of the woods and want some now? >:(

I thought it was readily available in almost every state. Maybe ask your local spirit distributor. They can usually tell you if its something the state stores either carry or dont. If they have Eagle Rare there, I dont see how they wouldnt have Buffalo Trace

Its good stuff though  :)

Ahh, your language reminds me of what it is like to purchase spirits in PA.  I checked and MD does not sell any Buffalo Trace AT ALL.   >:( >:( >:(

Not sure if you went to a store to check and see if they had Buffalo Trace or not, but..

Like I said the other night they didnt have it at the state store.

I go to a different state store tonight just because I was in that area. Not only is it much nicer/larger, but apparently the lady says theyll be giving out free sample every day until the end of the holiday season (I might have to make non-purchasing trips for this).

Anyway, they had Buffalo Trace at this one. If I was you, I would go to the largest liquor store in your area and check it out. Chances are theyll have it there I think

BTW, Buffalo Trace won distillery of the year in 2005, 2006, and 2007 from Malt Advocate Magazine and 2 of those years by Whiskey Magazine according to the tag on the bottle I just purchased tonight..Its good stuff  :)

The Buffalo Trace website said it doesn't distribute in MD.  It could be inaccurate but I haven't seen it anywhere and I do shop (unfortunately) at the largest liquor store (warehouse) near me.  Its just too cheap for me to avoid.

Thanks for the heads up though man.  Maybe I'll shoot up to PA and steal some from ya [smiley=evil.gif]

I'm on my second tallboy can of Boris (France beer) and will move onto France's #1 beer, Kronenbourg 1664, soon. I have a good old Canadian micro-brew called Amsterdam waiting for me in the fridge. I hope all these beers are good luck to my Raptors in the second half. They are currently down 8 to the Cleveland Cavs.

WHAT, HOW DID YOU GET KRONENBOURG!? Dammit, it's hard to find here in the States, at least in the Midwest. I drank enough last time I was at Disney to create a mini draught in Paris. It damn tasty stuff.

Toronto's a really diverse (and big) city with a million immigrants or more, so we get all kinds of strange and wonderful world brews. Boris is good too. It's not as smooth as 1664 (5.5% may have something to do with it), but its still good and has a unique taste.

Most Canadian Beer Stores (gov't run) and LCBOs (gov't run liquor stores) carry Kronenbourg, but the LCBO doesn't carry bottles, just tallboy cans. The 500ml cans (about the size of a Canadian/European pint - 24oz, not the smaller US pint, 20oz) cost $2.45, which is a bargain. Boris are $2.30 a can.

If you ever make a roadtrip to Ontario, I'm buying you some 1664 along with some nice Canuck micro-brews like Mill Street Tankhouse (dark and hoppy pale ale).

Irish at heart some days. German/English heritage actually. Destined to drink I guess.

Irish Car Bombs? That's a new one to me. Do they leave you hating yourself the next like too many Kamikazes?

yeah, they're tasty... it's half a shot of baileys, with a half of shot of jameson. then you take the shot glass and drop into a glass that has about 6oz of gunniess. drink it fast though, because it will curdle on you.

uhhh, wow. That actually sounds scary. The potential for curdlage would be enough to almost scare me away. I said almost scare me away.
