I agree. It's my favorite bar none. However, my "daily driver" is the 15 yr Balvenie. It's damn near as good at half the price.

The smoky alternative-Lagavulin.

My choices:

1. Red Breast Irish pot still whiskey
2. Rebel Yell Sour Mash Bourbon

Red Brest is about $44 a bottle, but the Rebel Yell is only about $14

hmm, boooze eh

as it springtime is rapidly advancing towards summertime
i strongly suggest to stock up on all the basics
and train in the art of prepping cocktails

some say it's not manly , i say Blah ! to that
Hemingway did it , so did Thompson, and those 2 characters were never short on things "hardcore"

Whiskey is for Wintertime , hence the matching W

It's been about 45 degrees here in Michigan for the past week, more of the same next week. Oh and it's been rainy everyday last week and will be raining every day next week.



THIS IS NOT A GOOD TIME TO RUN OUT OF WHISKEY!!!

:eek:

Ardbeg Lord of The Isles, 25 yr. A bit pricey though.

(I don't consume whisky that much so I shouldn't try to give advice. When I decided to purchase some I asked my friend the whisky lover for advice and that was his "911" of whisky's).


P.S. Found a nice page for whisky-lovers, lot's of reviews:

i've spent all day lying on my balcony doing nothing but catching rays and getting loaded on Slings and Weed, while playing Jimmi H on full blast...

neighbours were not impressed, but hell, had some stuff to remedy and it worked just fine.

Another vote for Balvenie.

This stuff is also quite tasty.

Nope, but I will now.

Yeah, its a perfect time for whiskey in Michigan right now. Wet, cold, dark, with no end it sight. I say drink your worries away. You know what also works on days like that? Mead. Warm it up nice and hot with some cinnamon and you won't need to wear a coat for the rest of day.

You just reminded me, not a bottled booze, but really good during a cold spell.

Buy a 50 oz. bottle of Martinelli's apple juice, it's not hard, but there's more. Martinelli's sells a realy good mulling spice in a tea bag like package, you drop six of those in a bottle of juice you've put into a sauce pan.

Bring it to a slow boil, and remove the heat. Add to that, Mount Gay (no comments now) Barbados rum to taste. Barbadian rum has a hint of brown sugar taste to it, and it's much nicer than any from Puerto Rico. It's the most like rum used to be in the 18th century, explaining it's early popularity.

Drink until no longer cold.

Heaven in a glass.

Calling DR. Bombay, Calling Dr. Bombay! My fave!

Another, I have aquired a taste for is Sailor Jerrys spiced rum.

Have to agree with Pat. Barbadian rum and Jamaican rum is much better, than PR rum.

Excellent site http://ministryofrum.com/

bigchillcar 05-14-2006 09:13 PM

pat's rum concoction sounds awfully good right about now..damn, to be out of liquor! :(

This is like arguing a favorite color. Lots of choices in your $$ range and the best part is you get to run the taste test.

Major, I think. Or was it Colonel?

Came from a circus I believe. A long line of trapeze artists I heard someone say.

But why do you ask?

Oban or Dalmore..... and a Monticristo #2

I'm down to my last 1/2 inch of Balvenie 21 y.o., time to go shopping.
