Drink of Choice

PapaSop Do you guys carry Horse Solider Bourbon? There’s a heck of a back story to it. Saw some at the liquor store today, they wanted over $100 a bottle for it.

Have not heard of that one. So many out there these days. -
Stopped in yesterday, to find Buffalo Trace & Weller (Antique + ?) one bottle limit (not of each) so took the Weller.

I’m a little late to the party here on this one, but Tequila is my favorite “I’m not around my family” drink. For the times I’m trying to be a normal human being and keep my clothes on, I make wine with my preference at the moment being Sangiovese. I’m not a huge beer fan but lately I’ve been drinking Southern Tier 2X IPA and their Lake Shore Fog Hazy IPA. Between tequilas…

badfire2625 I am not much of a tequila drinker, but do enjoy some aged styles. I do like IPA’s, but like gin I enjoy them more during the warmer seasons. Year round I like bourbon and whiskeys.

YooperDog I had a bad experience with several different whiskeys as a novice drinker back about 1979. I can’t even stand the smell of any of them. Bourbon, Scotch (I was once gifted a $100+ bottle of The Glenlivet and had to give it away after trying it once…) Canadian it doesn’t matter. Oddly, tequila doesn’t have THAT effect on me… Just the bad ones…

badfire2625 Regarding spirits and wine in general terms. As one whiskey curator and one vintner said very clearly: “That’s why there are sooooo many choices on the shelves. Find 1, 2, 3, etc that you like and enjoy. Also, listen to your taste buds instead of the experts and just enjoy.” I believe they are wise statements.

Very wise statements. Being in the business all these years I’ve been asked many times , what tastes best with whatever it might be. My answer is always the same. Whatever tastes good to you. If you like a cabernet with spaghetti, drink it. If you like a bourbon with it, same thing. -

Thinking that some like Jägermeister are just peer pressure. BTW: It’s only good in my book when it’s warm and the tummy is not feeling good. OK, that happened once in the last 2 years. LOL.

Jonathon s request, please list your drink of choice. I’ll start, I love bourbon and Coors Light or a good old Coors yellow belly. My bourbons of choice are Elijah Craig, Bulliet, Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam Black and W.L. Wellers. Now if I just want to pound down some drinks a good 7&7 can’t be beat.

Joe Hell looks like a good time!
-
Joe Hell Those are some quality pours!
“I don’t remember the outcome” What! You mean you didn’t taste and spit? LOL
-
Joe Hell Now, that’s a very nice arrangement. The Sazerac is the only one I couldn’t comment on. But, your taste buds were lit up nicely and understand about picking a winner. That’s why we always have someone who’s not partaking do the tallying.

Jonathon I had a bit of an issue with my patty maker picture. I had to go back and make sure that the .jpg was showing, for some reason. I saw a .PORTRAIT.jpg suffix in that upload. Could that be it? Also, you gotta admit that’s a pretty patty maker in my post…
-
badfire2625 Your patty maker was hideous (i’m lying i LOVE it) had you chosen blue, the color of the sky and the ocean perhaps the internet would be kinder to you and allow you to upload your jpg!
-
Jonathon the Hexadecimal code for blue is #BLAHHH…
Oh, and actually my orange patty maker did upload. Where’s your team blue white claw picture?

Jonathon Yes, it has been temperamental the last 3 days. I cannot determine the reason because all pics were equal in every reading except the picture itself. I know your people will determine the cause. Good luck.

badfire2625 Man do I miss the ocean and mountains and just nature in general, that is a freaking gorgeous picture!

Ok. We gotta catch up here. No way we’ve all stopped drinking.


Trying a new one here. At least new to me. Very good. Smooth. A little outside my normal price range but wtf. I was stimulated. It plays well with some 3yr aged Wi cheddar.
