whats your preferred beverage of choice
« 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:

Jack Daniels single barrel cask strength. 130 proof

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

Buffalo Trace, Knobb Creek, and last night I tried some Basil Hayden's dark rye. Other than that I like a good IPA and Arrogant Bastard has my attention at this moment.

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

I do like Ginger Beer, even by itself.  The wife likes that with a good vodka-Moscow Mule.  Goslings is good but oh man the sugar content is brutal. 

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!

I like the craft beers around Huntsville, AL. My favorite is a gose brewed by Straight to Ale. A couple of fingers of Dalwhinnie over an ice cube on occasion. For the most part, though, I'm a water drinker.

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.

The wife found some of this in Florida of all places. 

It has a really strong mesquite flavor.    Reminds me of liquid smoke on ribs.    Kind of cheating.   
Anyway.

Been a min since anyone posted in here and some of you Munchmore seasoned folks can sip on whiskey.  Me not so much as I just pass out.  But. This is new.  Monster energy MULE and the rest is a Moscow mule


Crushed ice half full in a copper cup, two shots of Vodka, been using Smirnoff blueberry because momma likes it, and 1 squeezed lime, put the peal in the cup also. Fill the rest of the cup up with monster Mule and settle in for a good night of Dave with a Grin!

It is from barton distillery in bardstown, ky.

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.

Looks pretty good there Nate. Speaking of costco/liquor, I'm back in 2006 now with heading to liquor stores rather than buying from the grocery store/costco. although i can't say i'm mad about it; a 5th of Milagro silver tequila used to cost me $40 w/ all the BS taxes WA put on them. here they are $25!

Based on your lack of taste buds evident by the Costco coffee sitting there I'd better take the two bookends off your hands. The 1792 is darn fine hooch. the Basil I've only dreamed of sampling thus far.
