Just curious whether there are any other whisky/whiskey drinkers out there?
Bourbon, Single malt, Irish?
Wine?
Beer?
Girl drinks with umbrellas?
What do you dig?
Myself it's mainly wine. I swing both ways, red and white, ooops and bubbly.
But I have been known on occasion(once or twice a week) to sip a Bourbon or Scotch or two.
Beer is a seasonal beverage with me.
I drink daily but rarely do I find that I'm drunk. Except when i post, sorry O.
What about you folks?
Bonus question for those from Kentucky.
If you drink Bourbon, what kind do you drink on a regular basis and what do you drink as a special whisky?
Actually, anyone can answer this one.
Cheers
Well Mister T,
Glad you enjoy the good things in life.
I like wine very much, preferrably red above white. Especially the grape merlot I like the most.
But I also drink lot of beer. In belgium it is very difficult not to do it.
But I don't like the strong things like whiskey or bourbon. But maybe I learn to appreciate this within a couple of years.
Do you have any idea if there will be a movie of the A-team or does you name not refer to Mr T?
God I love it when a plan comes together!
BOURBON
the best kinds are (in no particular order)
Maker's Mark
Knob Creek
Elijah Craig
Evan Williams
and any bourbon made in a single barrel.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...single barrel. :)
ifish:
Beers from Belgium are very tasty indeed. I haven't had many but in the summer I bought Rochfort 8 & 10, La Chouffe, Petrus and a bunch of others that were brought in on a special order.
Deep rich full flavoured beers with high alcohol. Nice.
BTW, the T has nothing to do with the A Team unfortunately. I've got too much hair on my head.
cheers
yeah, love the bourbon.
maker's mark,
mmm.
a single malt can be great too.
like bunnahabhain,
it has a faint, flowery, nutty hint of peatiness, a whiff of sea air, and a character that is quietly set around a courtyard in a remote cove.
mmmmmm.
I was just given a bottle of the Pappy Van Winckles 20 year Family Reserve Bourbon.
I have no idea what it will taste like but I think I'll wait until summer, sit out on the deck, light a cigar then sip away.
"bunnahabhain" is my new favourite word. (How do you pronounce it - bunn-a-ha-vin ?)
Quoteit has a faint, flowery, nutty hint of peatiness, a whiff of sea air, and a character that is quietly set around a courtyard in a remote cove.
Beauts! Makes me want to go and take a bottle down to the lake!
I just found the website, and it makes me want to get some, too... (I'm so easily swayed) www.blackbottle.com If you go to the interact section, there's a really great picture of a guy on his bike.
I really like Laphroaig. Mmmm. I like a little peat in my whisky. (Their website is nice, too www.laphroaig.com)
I miss Scotland. :(
Let's talk tequila....How about Don Julio Silver, Cabo Wabo Anejo, El Tesoro Blanco, Herradurra, Patron, El Corazon, Don Eduardo, Cazadores, Del Senor and Chinaco....Stay away for the Jose Cuervo. Now were talking.
D.

yeah, that's the way I say it. must be right ;D
Knob Creek--mmmmm nice toasty feeling in my guts :)
Also love the bourbon.
Woodford Reserve
Basil Hayden
Knob Creek
Makers Mark
I really need to explore my bourbon side.
Bourbon:
really good, and cheap: W.L. Weller's
excellent, and expensive: Buffalo Trace
Beer:
cheap: Miller High Life
Good, and Local: New Albany Brewing Co. (http://www.newalbanian.com/nabrewing.php)
I love to try new beers, and I'll drink local microbrews wherever I am.
All-Time Favorite: Young's Ram Rod (or Guinness)
Wine:
Give me just about anything cheap, red, and dry.
Early Times and ginger ale is mr drink! For the price, I think Early Times is about the best bourbon out there. I think sour mash bourbon like Jack Daniels and Jim Beam are about as smooth as a mug of glass. If money were no option I would be drinking Knob Creek a lot as well.
knob creek. johnny walker black label beccause i love the "oaky" taste. i also enjoy a little J.W. Dant.
QuoteEarly Times and ginger ale is mr drink!
I haven't tried bourbon w/ ginger ale - it's usually just hanging out with ice cubes in my glass - but I had a friend recommend it w/ Ale 8 One, which would make it a completely honest kentucky beverage. (For those not in the know, Ale 8 One is a ginger soda brewed and bottled in Winchester, Kentucky. And it's delicious)

So I did it. I had a Maker's Mark last night for the first time. Straight up.
I'm a believer.
Very cool EC,another convert.
Maker's Mark is a very, very nice drink. I think I finally realised I was growing up when I stopped ordered double JD with a splash of coke (in the hope of getting very drunk very quickly) to ordering a MM and actually enjoying the taste, almost savouring it.
No worries, Marker's Mark will get you drunk as you as you can dream of!
this is the only thread going over the Holidays. I wonder why? ;D
So. What is everbody drinkin' tonight.
I've had a glass of Cortese from Piemonte and a glass of Grillo from Sicily so far. Two Italian grapes I don't drink much of but that can always be remedied.
Either going to venture into the spirit world and have a whisky or roll a fat one and step out onto the balcony.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
BTW The Makers is fine Bourbon but give the Elijah Craig 18 a go.
Has anyone tried The Old Charter yet?
Had a glass of Pinot Noir tonight which disappointed but wasn't nearly as disappointing as having to finish some shitty 6 dollar cocktail my wife wanted to try and of course hated one sip in.
Which Pinot did you have?
Tonight my sis was over for dinner.
She introduced me to MMJ so she always gets special treatment.
So I made a roasted beet salad, roasted potatoes with sage and rosemary with garlic and extra virgin olive oil, and chicken saltimboca.
More of the Grillo from Sicily, a Cote du Rhone and finishing the evening with Hennessy XO Cognac.
Yup, once again....................buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
Cheers
Quotethis is the only thread going over the Holidays. I wonder why? ;D
hmmmm let's
drink think on that awhile...
Which Pinot did you have?
The brand was Sterling which is a California Pinot. The guy at the store lead me to believe it was a good bottle, but it wasn't for me.
scotch whiskey.
glenfiddich special reserve single malt aged 12 years.
mmmmmmm.
Three letters..........P....B....R!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh Yeah.
I love PBR. You can't find a goddamn can of it in the whole city of Toronto, though. Bottles - yes. Cans - no. Dumb.
okay, new drink of ale8 and MM? holy crap, i've got to try that...
QuoteThree letters..........P....B....R!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oh Yeah.
Hell yeah, those letters remind of some lost nights in NYC, two dollar pabst! aahh
yo bengrim--you chompin' at the bit to see the upcoming Fantastic Four movie or what? I plan on being first in line in my neighborhood!
