Hard liquor recommendations

Your state legalized prostitution? Good for you!

I don't care for the feeling of not being in control of my thoughts, actions, or body, so a little buzz is about as far as I like to go. That's not to say I haven't accidentally gotten drunk, but I can say that when I do end up drunk, I'm having a good time...but regret usually sets in, once it's time to be responsible.

 

As a raging alcoholic I'd recommend the following.

Bourbon - Buffalo Trace but it can be hard to find so Weller in a pinch. Buffalo Trace is my nightly drinker and H2O is the only beverage I consume more of.
Rye Whiskey - Bulleit rye is what I use for making old fashions and it's the only time I drink rye. I just got a smoking board so I'm experimenting with smoked old fashions.
Canadian or Irish - Don't drink them. Their American counterparts are far superior.
Scotch - I like the less peaty stuff so I drink Black Grouse or Johnny Walker Black.
Vodka - I drink it but can tell little difference and I just use plain ole Tito's made here in Texas. I also like the Deep Eddy ruby red vodka, especially when it's hot outside.
Tequila - Fortaleza Blanco, I never looked at a bottle of Patron again after this.

 

Life is too short. Enjoy the good things while you still can. I've already had the doctor talk: "You are determining the way you die now...." LOL

 

Ahhh the local dispensary. I crack up every time I go there and leave with a little shopping bag. And to think that not that long ago you could get locked up do so,etching that is now 100% above board.

 

So do we, CC...So do we.

 

Anyone else get this ad at the bottom of the page? lol

 

No, but my ads right now are for cocktail recipes. Sneaky internet, LOL!

 

Stick with single malts. Keep trying different brands till you find what you like best. No ice, room temp, add just a tiny drop of water.

 

Dark Meyers

 

rittenhouse rye.my go to for Manhattan and also use it in old fashioned sometimes.

 

I tried to be a prostitute. No one would pay so I settled for skank.

 

I'm a huge spirits guy. Well, I'm a huge beer and wine guy too. But I'm also a huge spirits guy.

I love everything in the Bardstown portfolio and Buffalo Trace portfolio. I enjoy the occasional rye and stick to Angel's Envy there, but it's about a $100 bottle where I shop for liquor in South Carolina. Irish whiskey is fine, but I prefer to take shots of that, not sip it. To be honest with you, unless you shell out for at least $50, all Irish Whiskey tastes the same to me. Don't let anyone tell you any differently, Canadian Whiskey is trash - and always will be. Scotch is great too, but unless you're a full blown alcoholic it requires a keen understanding of geography to really get a pulse on what sorts of Scotch you like (kinda like wine, I'll always pick a French or Oregon Pinot Noir over a fruity California Pinot).

The most well kept secret amongst bourbon snobs in the clubs that I am in is Rebel Yell 100 Proof. It's a perfectly priced wheated bourbon and sips phenomenal neat, as well as in a cocktail. I pay $19 for a fifth and it always has a spot in my liquor cabinet. I can't stress enough how much money that bourbon has saved me over the years.

I'm a Bloody Mary fiend because I crave the salt sometimes, but I usually use gin in mine instead of vodka. Not a lot of people can handle it, but one of my favorite things to drink during the summer is straight gin over ice, with a lemon wedge.

I'm not a tequila expert at all, but I freaking love it. Give me a reposado and an ice cold beer, and I am happy as a clam.

 

I'm using 151 overproof Rum.
Less intake double the results.

 

Make it dark rum and Dr Pepper please.

 

Who says I'm not dong that now.

I've got a nice place in front of the library.
