What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[Thunder77]

This:

[Mudkat]

Oooooo... yeah......

[Huskee]

A dram of Basil Hayden's. Quickly becoming one of my favorites! Special unique stuff tastes like a rye but is technically a bourbon.

[fzxdoc]

Uh oh. Off on another quest.

Thanks, @Huskee,

Kathryn

[Psinderson]

I am going to have try that one. I enjoy high rye bourbons.

[texastweeter]

Basil is good gotta love the hose clamp on the label

[Psinderson]

Well, I went to the store today and found this on sale:



Not a brand I would turn to, but the price was right, especially for Pennsylvania! Very floral on the nose and initial taste, with a bit of sharpness. I like it better with 1 cube of ice which tones it down slightly and brings out a subtle maple flavor. I would rate this somewhere between a drinker and a mixer. Definitely a good deal for the price.

[Huskee]

Canadian Club is a very popular Canadian blended rye. Good choice!

[Psinderson]

I had never tried it but I certainly enjoyed it.

[Psinderson]

Something unique. A new one from our local distillery- Wigle’s Pennsylvania Malt Series, Winter Malt. Distilled from malted barley, malted rye and standard rye. Really unique flavor a bit winey, a bit of scotch smokiness...very complex!

[texastweeter]

you had me at scotch

[texastweeter]

Belle of Lincoln bottling #4 from 1979. Been nursing this one. Don't ask how much I bid... I'm an idiot...

[Mudkat]

Evan Williams single barrel
Mr. Bones cheers brother, been thinking about you. Hey Bonsey,you cooking on Thursday? I bet that stickburner can seriously show some bird? Still looking to catch up with you, my fault. Schedule be dammed.

[texastweeter]

tell me about that trunk you have for a coffee table...

[Psinderson]

Evan Williams single barrel is the best! I agree with texastweeter - that trunk must have a story.

[Mr. Bones]

Cheers back atcha, Holmes!
Always have y'all on my mind, an' in my heart!
Gimme holler when ya can, been too long!
Yeah, I'll be smokin' plenty bird this week, ya' could safely say...

[HouseHomey]

texastweeterPsinderson this trunk belonged to Grandpa on my wife's side who was at Pearl Harbor on the USS Castor. The big story from grandpa was "why did they bomb us? Didn't they see our flag? We were only carrying pinapples."

grandpa lived until 2011 to 96 Years old and was a Salty old Dog!! We bought our house from the familiy trust which was his house and my wife grew up in. So long as I'm alive this trunk will bless this living room and all the kids and family who walk by, sit next or even sit on or stare it it. This trunk will not leave this house so long as I'm alive in it.

Thank you you very much for asking and noticing the trunk. I have never served but have an appreciation for those who have. Service runs deep on both sides of my family from Pearl Harbor, Vietnam and Iraq. Army, Navy and Mariens!

the kids love this trunk. It now houses their board games and such. Papa added wheels and it now rolls.

Thanks again for asking.

Psinderson thank you for asking. Grandpa lost his hearing firing them big guns. Deaf as a post! Used to durn off the hearing aids when grandma was ...... complaining.

[Mr. Bones]

Great slice of an historic event, previously unheard of by this WWII scholar!
Many thanks fer sharin', Homey!
3G's is what made this country!
I salute <~S~> all crew from USS Castor.
Bravo Zulu!

[kmhfive]

Thanks for sharing! Wonderful story well worthy of remembering and retelling to future generations! Freedom is not Free. It requires sacrifice and hard work. Cheers!

[Mr. Bones]

50%/50% Truffalo Base, an' Marker's Make...


Dang Good, so far

[kmhfive]

Got one from a Coriegn Fountry myself. See below!

[Huskee]

Is that Buffalo Mark or Maker's Trace?

[Mr. Bones]

Usually, I make Buffalo Creek!

[Willy]

A Margarita--rocks, no salt.

[kmhfive]

Not bad!

[Mr. Bones]

Suh-Weet, brother!!!
21 years, ach!
Sláinte!

[kmhfive]

Mr. Bones , ah… a little outside of my price range. But, I’m in St. Marys visiting my 6-boys. One of them turned 24 today and the group decided it was worth it on the split bill, so to speak. Great scotch! SWMBO even liked it!

[Psinderson]

A little something that I know HouseHomey will appreciate...

[Mr. Bones]

Yummy!
Chug-a-Lug!!!

[HouseHomey]

Yeah buddy! I'd eat....ummm I'd drink that! You bet!!!!

[HouseHomey]

I went back for another bottle of the 2007 and it was gone. I should have thought of it sooner. I think was marked down to $15.99 when I bought it.

[Pirate Scott]

Probably not a Scotch Drinkers first choice, but I like Dewars. I have not tried the Twelve Year. This one was on Sale too! I also wanted Stella to help me Cook tomorrow.

[Huskee]

I like Dewar's. It's probably the Budweiser or Jim Beam of Scotch, but it ain't bad in my book! Now the Stella- that's some great beer!

[Psinderson]

The turkey is happily dry brining for my late morning cook so Here’s something to help prepare for the Thanksgiving mayhem- JP Wiser’s Triple Barrel Rye. Really impressed with this one. Plenty of rye assertiveness but I also get a hint of the corn minority. What a great value at $19.99!

[texastweeter]

JD single barrel... my old standby

[Psinderson]

I love single barrels...I need to try Jack.

[HawkerXP]

[Psinderson]

Nice!

[HawkerXP]

Just making sure I'm all ready for tomorrow. Psinderson
