Bought a bottle of Larceny last night. Need to imbibe more before I render a decision . . . it's still distilling. Well the verdict is in... and OH MY GOD WHAT A WHISKEY!!! An amazing finish... smooth beyond belief! |

Mostly wine today... Later "fortified" with a bit of vodka. Been avoiding whiskey to save money. Been avoiding Women to save money. (Famous Last Words) Chris Exsept the ones willing to pay for ME!!! Just kidding. |

The problem I have with Bourbon is that the sweetness is an automatic prescription for a royal hangover.

Is there a "bourbon board"?
I wouldn't know - I look at threads in the main menu.
When I drink whiskey, I'm a single malt Scotch guy. Occasionally Irish. Maybe rye - which is NOT bourbon. Thank you very much.

This is all in the Bourbon sub-forum. The only ryes we hear mentioned here are those from bourbon makers who have some bourbon in them. It even says so on the labels.
Yeah, the Larceny... I can feel it this morning!

That's odd - I thought I was posting in the "What Are You Drinking Today?" thread.

I can feel it this morning! I like to alternate 2 oz of bourbon with at least 6 oz of water... Most people don't drink enough water to begin with. Dehydration while drinking is often the culprit for hangovers. Or drinks with higher sugar content (cocktails, wines). P.S. - I know we are adults, and aware of these things- just some personal observation and sometimes a simple reminder of things we know can be helpful. Never hurts to have a reminder to 'check the phase' so to speak  Ward |

I’ve really been enjoying Blantons with Buffalo Trace as my backup. Just a minute or two to let the ice melt a bit... so nice.
Perhaps a little OT, but Brockmans Gin w/Tonic might be my favorite drink ever! (until the cold weather hits.) It’s really on a different level. Cheers!
PS: Look forward to trying some of the suggestions on here. Thanks!

Tried roasting a French Roast batch this week. Was not as good as I thought it was going to be.
So I went back to my usual medium roast winner - Southern Colombian Volcan. Thats a nice smooth coffee.

Ooh cool! This thread is technically for alcoholic themed beverages, but I suppose coffee does alter your brain chemistry on some level  Medium roasts are usually my favorite as well |

Last night ... whoa boy . . . did I ever overdo it. We were tracking vocals for a folk compilation record, and there were a couple of friends over adding voices, gratis, so we started pouring. Holy smokes.
Buffalo Trace, Larceny, Bulleit, Beam, Hayden, Elijah Craig, Dickles, a few others. Anyhow, I'm a lightweight, and 6 generous shots was just about 5 too many. And I'm paying for it today, but man, was it ever delicious.

Been awhile since I had a Malbec. This one was solid, nice sipper from Argentina while I watched my favorite soccer team play (featuring a freshly signed Argentinean). Attachment Deleted |
