Drink of Choice

zbigjeff Welcome back! Hope the surgery went well and that you’ll be out and about soon.
Bob Stehlik Recovery is always slower than wanted. But, my support staff is saying “we’re going forward because all the boxes have been checked so far”. That’s all positive and sticking with that thought.

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 OK, I’m jealous. It’s on my list to locate and taste. It’s supposedly the closest a person will get to the old pappy.
zbigjeff That is a comparison I haven’t heard! Glad I managed to score. This is certainly more affordable at $50 and quite good! I rarely go over that price point, but on those few occasions I haven’t run into anything that made me go, ‘wow!’. I’d love to try a Pappy but I can’t imagine the price is justified. Limited distribution and media hype push prices these days. There are plenty great offerings in the sub $30 category too.

Joe Hell I’m reading a book given to me by daughter called Pappyland. Basically, Julian (Pappy’s son) indicates throughout the book that Weller brands are just the less aged Pappy. I can see that since I’ve had all the way up through the 23 yr old. Enjoy your find.

We finally arrived. The relaxation can begin. In Virginia Beach with the family and no work to be found.

badfire2625 I never acquired a taste for whiskey, but all you guys pictures of the varieties make me think I need to work at it a little harder. Enjoy some down time!

Tex_77 I picked up this gorgeous gin the other day. It was too hot for cooking so icy beverages seemed in order. This is a Singapore Empress. I’ve got some work to do on complimenting garnishes but I look forward to the research and development!

wdaly I’ve previously written about a very bad experience I had at an early age. It’s taken me until 56 years old to get where I am. And I have a ways to go. I’m still very much a neophyte when it comes to whiskeys. The rest of these fine folks have helped tremendously.

Joe Hell - I tried that gin and didn’t like it very well I was super excited to try it. Maybe I didn’t mix the right gin drink for it. I love gin and try a lot of different ones.

zbigjeff yeah the pine flavor is what gets me. I’ve had a few I can tolerate. She just likes a good old Gin and Tonic with lime.

Great drink and beautiful view. Relax and enjoy your time there.

badfire2625 That Elijah Craig is nothing to sneeze at, my bottle is already gone! Cracking into the old forester next!
Jonathon you weren’t lying. I brought my bottle of Elijah Craig to Virginia Beach for vacation. We got here Sunday. It’s now Tuesday and poof. It’s gone. 10:00 AM I’ll be grabbing some more. My favorite so far. I’ve not wanted 12 hours to pass quickly since I was at work last…

I got a nice addition to my Tennessee and Kentucky shelves today. Happy Father’s Day everyone.
GWG8541 Replenished the Arsenal today. The wife has accused me of ignoring her and that I should seek Redemption. Well, I found it in the bourbon aisle! If you guys have never tried Redemption High Rye Bourbon, give it a try, mellow and smooth. It’s been a favorite of mine for years. They also have a small batch (blue label) but they were out of it today. Also picked up the Evan Williams favorites of mine. Weller is still more rare than hen’s teeth around here. Hope you all have a great 4th. Stay safe and eat well!

I know some of us are trying to shed a bit of weight. I found this today at Walmart of all places. I was craving a sweet tea but didn’t want all the sugar or calories. This is pretty darn good!!!
