Title: whats your preferred beverage of choice
Post by: Nate on September 21, 2018, 02:46:10 PM: so as the title says, whats your preferred beverage of choice? have you tried anything new? did you like it or hate it?

my beverage of choice is spoken of in my signature, and I did try something new about a month ago.

I tried some of this twin valley distillers bourbon http://tvdistillers.com/ all of what he sells is not on the website.

cant say that it was a bourbon as it was more of a whisky, and I cant say that I would really recommend a tour of the place to anybody....(im surprised he passed a health inspection)

but in any case, ill leave this with you all …..especially for Charles..... :beercheers:

Tried George T Stagg this week. Pretty tasty. 140 proof limited production from Buffalo Trace Distillery. Part of the antique series.

Title: Re: whats your preferred beverage of choice
Post by: TexasRedNeck on September 23, 2018, 09:47:31 AM: Ken. It’s mainly marketing.

They carve grooves in the barrel in the inside to increase the surface area in contact with the char. But they still water it down. It’s not barrel strength

I haven’t tried it. But I would assume you get that same intensity from the barrel strength just at a higher proof.....and for $65

Last night I enjoyed a few old fashioneds. Eagle Rare whiskey, 3 cherries (found some natural non fructose syrup, non dyed-taste so much better) a splash of simple syrup and ice. Very Very smooth. Wife and I sat on the porch swing and she even had some!

If it’s the first time buying a bottle of that, try it with a sour mix. My wife likes amaretto sours, so I’m familiar with the many concoctions that can be made from amaretto.

It’s lemon and lime juice with sugar water added. Most often we don’t have sour mix, so I’ll just use lemon juice and lime juice from the bottle (fresh is great though), maybe add tiny amount of sugar. Disarono does not need more sweetness though.

Start with the lemon and lime juice in small quantities add more to preferred tartness.

Its pretty smooth going down, there is not a notable bite in the back of the throat when swallowed, the caramel notes seem to be a little more pronounced.

Costco had it on a special endcap for $20.....i figured why not? Guess ill go back in a day or 2 and get another bottle to add to the collection.

Had to come up with a passable excuse to force the surrender of the hooch. I knew the pretense was false, but like our government, I only needed a few to believe it for the mission to be successful. I retract my slanderous statements.

It was deadly good.

In the other side. Me not so much into the bourbons these days.

Craft beers and strong IPA’s is the go to at the moment.
