Drink of Choice

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!
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.

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!
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.

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!!!

Nice little arsenal you got there. Almost picked up a bottle of that uncle nearest the other day. Have you had it yet? Is it any good?“A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.”

kyle I am from Wisconsin, but I’ve lived in Colorado for quite a while. Looking to move back. We are going to the Eagle River/St Germain area for two weeks at the end of September to October 9th. Look forward to going to a supper club or two and having a good Wisconsin style Old Fashioned!

The one pictured is 93 proof and they have another that’s 100 proof. I know some other Meatgistics users have had it and haven’t heard of any complaints!

Bob Stehlik thats a great resupply. I’ve only had Redemption once. It was at a friend’s. Im not a huge rye fan, but it was good. I love the EGA in the background. Surg Uncle Nearest is a smooth Tennessee sour mash. If you haven’t heard the back story, he taught a young Jack Daniels how to distill whiskey. I have attached a video from their website, which is pretty cool. I knew about the story years ago from taking the tour at Jack Daniels. Its a neat piece of American history. https://vimeo.com/325286687

kyle definitely not a Wisconsin thing, but that stash is too good to mix. That is all high quality H2O. Its meant to be straight up or on a rock or two.
