Here Today... Gone To Hell!

As i? am much to Inebreated to compete in this competition ... I surrender. ... like the fuck I do.

My submission Wild Turkey 101 ... no cheatin' either : I'm drinkin' "nea"t, no ice or anything else:

first taste: I taste a lot of honey(no cheatin), with that "almost buttery" flavor, a little of apple, and of course, just a bit of leather.

second(mid) any time I ever try that "whiskey tastin", I always get drunkered'n shit. Goddamn, two or three,
OK, on the back, on the back, ... are you shitin' me. Whiskey ain't got a goddamn thang to do with shit.



I will sober up ... fuck the rest?



see my sig.

You are the coolest elementary school bus driver I ever knew.

There is more to this thread than meets the eye.

I don't like Whiskey from Kentucky.

Drambuie.

Nectar of the Gods.

:)

Straight.  Keep the ice in your tea.

I submit Lagavulin (aged 16 years) single malt scotch whisky as a supreme beverage, gloriously smoky and peaty, and king of all Islay whiskies.

:rofl:


Agreed on the ice (and on the Drambuie, which I haven't had for far too long).

First rule of Whisky Club is DO NOT ICE YOUR WHISKY! 

?I'm a simple man. All I want is enough sleep for two normal men, enough whiskey for three, and enough women for four.?


?Let's drink to California, way out by the sea, Where a woman's ass, and a whiskey glass, Made a horse's ass of me?

aahhhh, whiskey

Dewers is my preference  : ok:

Jamesons? and soda, to be sure, to be sure....

I once bought some alcohol from a man.? It was in an old peanut butter jar with a piece of paper taped to it.? The man wrote on the paper:Georgia's Finest Please be careful!? It was violently intoxicating!? It also was able to be used to start a lawnmower until the sparkplug crapped out.? One drink=eyes crossed drunk.? It wasn't to smooth.

freedom78 - you are hardcore - I have had entire nights of highly confidential behaviour due to Lagavulin. Thank christ youtube wasnt around then!

Dalwhinnie for me, no ice - its too good to be watered down.  Beautiful whisky - it tastes like angels on your tongue...

I haven't had Dalwhinnie for quite some time, but I do recall that I enjoyed it.  Glad to hear you've enjoyed Lagavulin, too.  :hihi:

I don't remember this.

No shit.

I started the night off with Ridgemont Reserve ... it is about 94?, around 8 year old. this is some good shit. All the sweetness one would expect from a good Bourbon ... fruity, with a little mint, no leather ... smooth as silk.

Now it is Knob Creek(Clermont's finest)100?, 9 year old. I think I burnt my taste buds out, but here goes ... compared to the Ridgemont, there is a little leather, on the nose, it is fruity with noticeable traits of butternut. the butter follows through on the front with an almost walnut? in the mid, with a moderate amount of honey. In the Back ... the honey is obvious with a warm soothy feeling(hey, that reminds me of my ex-wife, if it only tasted as good)

Conclusions: the KB has a little more leather, and is not as sweet, but what is to be expected.

(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/soliussymbiosus/IMAGE_095.jpg)

Old Rip Van Winkle 107?, 10 year old. It has a someshat fruity bouquet with sweet hints on the front. Mid- butter comes on strong. I'm tasting a little honey now, but my taste buds  were burnt out earlier in the evening. little or no leather, and it doesn't linger.


I know there is some liquor drinkers on this forum, make your preferences known.

I'll log off now before I ...

Honey? :P

It tastes liqour...

i only drink jack an vodka '
an i know how they taste ,terrible lol.

Maker's Mark is the preferred whiskey of choice!

I drank Early Times - shit cheap brand when I was a kid and ended up in the hospital.

It is a good begginers whiskey. It is the one that I recommend most commonly to those who are "uninitiated". However, rarely is it on a connoiseur's list of 10 best Bourbons.

I am no connoiseur but I did have Glenfiddich Special Reserve the other evening at a friends...sort of tasted smooth and was quite light,an almost fruity tongue on it..overall it seemed quite dry

Huh huh......fruity tongue...huh huh huh....

how did I know you wouldn't let that one go?? :rofl:

That's what she said.................ZING!

Yes. I agree. Unfortunately, that is probably the limit I will spend on good whiskey. If I had money to piss away, I would definitely go more high end. I salivate when in the whiskey aisle to see all the expensive whiskeys and long to try them. Plus, booze never lasts around my house. I'm lucky if the damn bottle lasts more than a week. Do you have a recommendation of something that is around $30 to $50 a bottle?

Lots. I like Rare Breed, Woodford, Pouge, any of the Van Winkle family, any of the Four Roses; if you can find it(especially the Barrel Proof),and any single barrel or small batch will be good depending on your taste. If you can get the 4 roses small batch, it is a good deal at around $25- $30. Oh ... don't forget Knob Creek. It is around the same price as 4 Roses SB. Bulleit is a good "cheap" Bourbon with a high rye content, if you like that, give it a try.

Same ol' same ol'  :beer: with ky's finest, of course.

^^You belong in Montauk L.I...A small drinking town with a fishing problem.

I've got a drinking problem ...











... and she won't leave me alone.

Then go fishing drunk
Oh that wasn't an admission?
Whatever pour yourself 3 fingers and drink up.

there used to be a drink called ''snake bite'' it was like threee wiskies in one drink.if you could get past like three of these drinks you would be doing good.it was straight to the point drunk this drink.i think southern ,jack,old grandad.was in it i think.i tryed it once never to do it again lol. :beer:

Some consider fishing to be synonymous with alcoholism in the first place.

so lets get that fish drunk then lol.

This is damn funny. The title of the thread should be changed.  :)

I went to the store today; my goal was to educate myself, somewhat, as to the finer points of Scotch. Once I got there, Mr. Pogue was there, with a helper, giving out free samples of his fine liquor.

After that, my intention was to purchase a bottle of his wares, but I came across the 4 Roses single barrel first ... so, my impression; mind you this is after a few. So, take it with a grain of salt.

Four Roses Single Barrel: 100?, there is no age statement, but it tastes very mature. Whether this is an artifact of the maturation process, or something peculiar to the the particular climate during production, I do not know.

This batch came from wharehouse TN; barrel #85-5J

Damn! I have a good one here. I almost hate to drink it.
Nose: has a very fruity sniff; applely and cherry

I'm having one OTR, and my taste buds have undoubtly already been burnt tonight.

This is a very distictive whiskey. Very sweet with the fruitiness coming on strong. Noticable honey with absolutely no leather. There is a slight amount of bitter on the tip and mid on the side. It lingers with a hickorish after taste that is quite pleasant. There is other flavors that I am not picking up on (due to intoxication or burnt tongue). Oh yeah, apple. It reminds me of eating green apples as a child.

If you enjoy fine whiskey, and don't mind spending a dollar or two, this is definately a treasure you will come to cheerish. While it is very difficult to find, it is well worth the effort once it tis located.? ?Cheers


My little pretty:
(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/soliussymbiosus/IMAGE_118.jpg)

perdy shit right there !

I can't stand up   

hahaha

here is to ya

Great googly moogly ... I can't see (http://youtube.com/watch?v=j2nJn6rZdtI). Whow is me, but I can't see eey.

So I pounced and I pounced again..I injured the fur trapper..who was strictly commercial.

I should probably let this thread die a noble death, but the "kickin' chicken" is on the loose ... and I think it is going to kick my ass.

Ok, I was given a jug of Early Times. Now I know why. Actually the guy ask me what I drink, and I told him, but he came out with this. So, here we go:

This whiskey is very sweet ... too sweet. They have to be adding sugar to the bill. There is no way that wood(oak anyway) has this much sugar in it. Now I know why Churchill Downs uses this as their house "Bourbon"(they sell a lot of juleps) ... it ain't fucking Bourbon. They can put Ky all over the label and doesn't change a thing. In fact, if one looks close enough, that person will notice that no where does say Bourbon, but Ky is prominant.

On to the taste: other than sweet, this liquor reminds me of what socks taste like ... the kind of socks that a wino has been wearing for a month. It also lingers with something that reminds me of catpiss. This is some nasty shit ... now I know why people put cola in their whiskey. In fact, I have some gasoline that I am thinking of adding to this ... it can't hurt the taste.

In conclusion, I wouldn't give this shit to my dog. Anybody need any mouthwash?

ya think it would clean my silverware??

as long as it doen't wear socks

no more hobo sock juice for you! get to bed Sir!

Tried to find this for two weeks and can't. Not even Binny's has it. Where did you say you get this? Should I be looking in the Irish or is it from another country? Now I really want to try it.

When I was 16, a dude bought us a pint of early times - still had to ask people to buy. My friends had to go home so I got stuck drinking it by myself. I actually got alcohol poisoning from it. I threw up everywhere. Had to go to the hospital but I threw up so much by the time I got there, they didn't even need to do anything. They could have mixed drinks with my, well you know...

Needless to say, I didn't touch whiskey for years and years. Now, it's another story but I still will never, ever touch that stuff. You couldn't even pay me to drink it.

Unless you live in Kentucky, New York, or Japan, you won't be able to find it. It is restricted to those markets at present due to production limitations. You probably can't find the single barrell except in Ky and Japan. You might be able to find it online. 4 Roses did have a limited European distribution for one of their brands, but I can't remember which one.

I have adapted the "Happy Birthday" song thusly:

Merry Christmas to me
Merry Christmas to me
Merrry Christmas, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to me

Please enjoy the larger picture, as it's quite lovely.  Bowmore 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, from Islay. 

For those who don't drink Scotch, Islay produces the peatiest and smokiest of all Single Malts, which are a personal favorite.  This is the fourth Islay distillery from which I've purchased a full bottle, out of eight that are currently operating.  The serving is shown in my brand spankin' new Glencairn Whisky Glass (http://www.glencairn.co.uk/), the first glass specifically designed for tasting whiskies, and engraved with the name of my favorite distillery (Lagavulin...also on Islay). 

Needless to say, I'm a tad enamored.

If you were a woman, I'd fuck you ... maybe.

What's your stance on she-males?

Anyway, I thought you a Bourbon man.   

Ok. I tried Knob Creek this holiday season and the shit is strong. Damn. Two drinks and I was medium drunk. I stopped and went to wine or it could have been a bad night. The whiskey is very good. Very strong and mild.

Although, as soon as I unload my pictures from my camera, I have to show you guys this bottle of tequila we got as a gift. It looks like a bong with two types of tequila in it - a light tequila on the outside and a dark tequila on the inside - both very good and smooth. It costs about $70 a bottle but the bottle is so freakin cool, I will have to post. I can't remember the damn name. I'll post the picture next week when I remember to download the damn photos.

^Try cutting it with a little water. It is good stuff. I've been drinking a lot of that and 4 Roses lately.

Dead soldier.

In front of my humidor, and, yes, immediately below can be seen a book by Mr. Rogers.  :rofl:

It is a martini kind of night. I quit the stoogies a few years ago ... and still jones when I hear the words humidor. Give me a sec and I will post a pic of my liquor cabinet.

(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/soliussymbiosus/DSCN0082.jpg)

It is lacking in something clear, but there is a good selection of Bourbon. :beer:

That's an impressive bourbon collection.

Upon moving back home about 6 months ago, we found that our kitchen has two Lazy-Suzans.  We immediately turned one into a spinning liquor cabinet which we refer to as our Lazy-Boozen. 

Anyway, it's currently stocked with:

1 random bottle vodka
1 random bottle gin
1 handle Bacardi dark rum (because dark rum makes a MUCH better rum n' coke)
various liqueurs
1 handle Cuervo gold (not getting much use in the winter)
1 bottle Lagavulin 16 yr Single Malt (my personal fave)
1 bottle Bowmore 12 yr (quickly becoming a fave)
1 bottle Edradour 10 yr (Scotland's smallest distillery)

I just killed my Ardbeg 10 yr, and am already eager to replace it with something new.  As Islay malts are already twice represented, I may go Speyside for my next purchase, though I've been wanting to try Springbank, as well.

I'm currently out of bourbon/American/Canadian whiskey, either for mixin' or sippin'.  As far as mixed drinks go, I tend to go from rum and coke to whiskey and coke, so the run currently fills that need.  The vodka is mainly used with cranberry juice or tonic.  The gin is generally used in tonics, but if I get the appropriate stuff, I'll mix up a martini, too.

Don't get me started on beer.

Martinis, and others, are kind of my way of implying that I take my liquor "neat". Though, I have been known to use water as a cut.

I would never mix a single malt, and abhor it being served with ice (fucking heathens).  Same with good bourbon.  I'll make a gin and tonic, but the quality of the gin still shows through in that drink. 

Ahh, a man who knows his liquor. cheers!

Though, I shouldn't admit it, I have been known to heat my whiskey up in a sauce pan in an effort to release the essential oils of the liquor ... try it.

I live about 30 miles from the Borbon Capital of the World, Bardstown, KY.  I am not much of a fan of the stuff as a result of a horrible next day after too much Jim Beam.  My wife likes Woodford Reserve and I have had some and it is not too bad, pretty smoothe.  In Bardstown they have a Heritage Museum that walks you through the process behind the magic and they give you a free sample.  Bardstown also has a Bourbon Festival in the fall.

Anyone know how to get some ral absinthe here in the States?  I have a bottle from Spain that I have been sitting on since 2001 and would like to get more.

Heaven!!!

Try your wife's favorite beverage.


I never really cared for wheaters, but ...



Absinthe can now be bought legally in the States, but it is just like the stuff from Europe. They haven't really made the "real" stuff for nearly a hundred years. However, it can be found in Asia.

Is this correct?  I know they sell a spirit that is generally the same, but it lacks the wormwood infusion.  I'm pretty sure a lot of what is produced in some Eastern European countries still has wormwood, which is still illegal, here. 

The legallity of Absinthe is realatively new in Fuckedupistan, but it ain't he "good" stuff.

I haven't had any of the stuff on the US market.  I also don't own a watch that says "Rolox".

For some wierd reason, this thread has me jonesing for shrooms

 :rofl:  That was out of the blue.  Have another bourbon (notice that I'm assuming you've already had at least one).

^ or 10; maybe 15

After a good number of martinis, I have come to the conclusion that only good(100?+) whiskey will deliver; for that reason, this is my last gin tonight.

gonna give me the rest of the bottle then Sman? ;D

There is very little of it left. ;)

beggars cannot be choosers....was the martini interlude good while it lasted?

It might not be over. :o No kid tonight, so I am thinking of tying one on. Hell, it has been a couple of days since my last drunk. ;D

ditto.
be good you crazy bastard :-*

Sman sez: "why", that takes all the fun out of it.

For a second I thought Sman, was talking about whacking while the kid was away.

^ is best buds with Jim Beam ;)

I picked up a bottle of Bulliet tonight. It is the first time I have had this in about a year. Of course, one must take this review with a "grain of salt" as my tongue has been burnt.

(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/soliussymbiosus/DSCN0103.jpg)

This is a very distintive Bourbon. Technically, it is a Bourbon, but the mash bill on this just makes it legally Bourbon whiskey. It is 75% corn and nearly 25% rye(Tman it has your name all over it).

The rye is the first thing noticed. It has a very earthy smell and taste.
It is proofed at 90?, but there is no age statement on the bottle.

Bulliet has a patented "aging" process, but most think that the wharehouses are heated to speed up the maturation.

On to the taste:

The first thing one notices is the nuttiness on the nose with just a hint of vanilla.

Vanilla is noticeably absent on the front, but apple and cinnamon are prevalent.

Some have noticed a little heat on the finish, but I barely noticed(old drunk?)

There is absolutely no leather discernable in this fine product. I recomend anyone looking for a little spice to consider this, albiet archaic reciept, fine whiskey.

It is pretty tempting  :D

he makes it sounds so delicious..so tempting...but when it comes down to it, and you have a glass in front of you...it will burn a trail all the way from the tip of your tongue through your stomach lining and out your ass ;D

wussy girl!!!

Finally ran across Michael Jackson's "Whiskey" book at the bookstore the other day.  Lovely book.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/517CG6HP97L._AA240_.jpg)

Didn't buy it, as coffee table type books require space on a coffee table, but for anyone who wants a good overview of the topic, it's a nice book.

Let me guess? He prefers imature liquor.

 :rofl:  Nice.  Of course, I can't imagine that you, of all people, don't know about this other Michael Jackson.  I've been known to take his single malt guide with me to the liquor store.

Unfortunately, I must profess my ignorance, my knowledge extents only to those fine liquors distilled in Kentucky.

White Oak, and 8 years make the liquor!!! and then some!!!

I'm on my 14th can of woodstock at the moment and I'm qite pissed.

How is bourbon apart of the whisky family?


 :peace:

My friend, that requires a dissertation !

Watchu talkin bout fuckin crazy?


 :peace:

I can't see, but
 :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourbon_whiskey

Alcohol is for losers.

 ... or those that like it!!!

losing, I mean! chug dude                         :beer:

I guess the 4 people in the world that don't drink would agree with you but for the rest of us its pretty fuckin good. Not just to get pissed but to taste.


 :peace:

You telling me I don't feel like a winner when I wake up with a dog tortilla on my chest, puke on my shirt and a Notre Dame wedding inside my head?

One night, Scotch got drunk and fucked some hillbilly tourist in Edinburgh, who then went back to the US and, nine months later, out popped little baby bourbon.

What was that again ? I was out getting more Whiskey . Dude and you will not believe who I bumped into. JON Bon Jovi , Dude was maxing out his credit cards buying rum.

Running is for losers.

Wow! I really feel insulted!  :rofl:
Take a sip man  :beer:

Lori, did you try that JB Black yet?
I had a bottle at Christmas...I am sure you will like it ;)

^tomorrow I guess.     :smoking:

Jamesons Irish Whiskey. . . . . . Nice.

And so is the jazz CD that came free with the bottle one promo. Ever heard a jazz version of Danny Boy!  :confused:

I didnt get a CD, damn it. Oh well. It goes well with Flogging Molly also.

When people win they tend to have a drink to celebrate but if that makes them a loser then does that mean they didn't win?

If a non drinker is a winner, how do you celebrate?


 :peace:

If you win, you're a winner.  If drinking makes you a loser, you're a loser.  But if you win, and then drink to celebrate, I think it makes you .500.

Non-drinkers never win.  They're too busy being self-righteous.

Cigar?

That is a loaded answer.  ;D

Fucking crazy , you are me new idol. :beer: :beer:

^ chug a lug dude ... I am.

But be careful, liquor is potent.

He's mine too! :hihi:
Thanx for the tips, FC

Ok. I didn't want to start a thread for this and I know I said I would post a pic of this wild tequila we got for christmas. I hope I do this right. It's called Romance Tequila because there is a dark tequila in the center and a light tequila outside. Makes a pretty good looking bong too!
Check it out:

Ok. How do I get a damn image in here?

Sorry. I'm trying to quit smoking.

Good tequila can be quite tasty.  I can't say I've delved too deeply, but a Mexican friend once shared a decent bottle with me.  Good stuff!

I just love the damn bottle. Here goes:

That is a cool looking bottle.

Freedom, at my brothers last weekend, he pulled out a couple of bottles of Balvenie (single barrel) and Oban. They were both good, but I preferred the peppery taste(peatyness?) of the Balvenie.

Ahhhh, the peppery taste  ;)

Hmmm...Oban tends to be peatier than Balvenie, so that probably wasn't what you were tasting.  Probably just another spice flavor.  And, Balvenie is probably the better malt, overall.

If you want to try one that's spicy/peppery, try Talisker 10 yr.  Not only is it a really top notch whisky, but it's widely available.  Of course, with all scotch (unless you know you generally love scotch) the best option is to lay down the $6-8 to try it in a nice quiet bar, first.  Nothing worse than buying a bottle of something and not liking it. 

Haven't had a drink in 7 days, and the "kickin' chicken" is loose tonight. Ignorant posts sure to follow.

What, pray tell, is the "kickin' chicken"?

Wild Turkey 101?

I'll just go ahead and pre-call 911.

Dayum! it ain't like its 114? or 124?. I can down gallons of the light.

fuck, I got the buzz


























1111

Knob Creek has a new packaging. It is suede with a nice leather patch. It is probably a limited run, so you might one to grab one while they can be had.

(http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb259/soliussymbiosus/DSCN0951.jpg)

There is a review of their fine product somewhere in this thread.

eXPENSIVE whores , oh thus you say.

Is this my fault?? ;D :rofl:

I should stop drinking haha

has anyone ever fell victim to the whiskey dick?

Just finished a bottle of Laphroaig (10yo)... Simply amazing. No doubt one of my favourites.

The ballsiest of all whiskies!

Any south shore Islay malt is fantastic, though not for the fragile palate.  I certainly wouldn't make Laphroaig a "starter" scotch for someone new to the drink.
