What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[JCBBQ]

I picked up a fancy beer for the Super Bowl. This was REALLY good.

[Huskee]

Evan Williams Single Barrel. My nephew highly recommended it. I guess I got a barrel different than his, I'm not crazy about it. Too nutty for me.

[Huskee]

Moving on, trying a dry Manhattan, sans cherries. Bulleit rye, extra dry vermouth, and two generous dashes of bitters.

[HouseHomey]

Nice!!!!!

[Mudkat]

I adding sweet vermouth to make it a perfect Manhattan. Real good with the Bulleit rye.

[Huskee]

Mudkat Yeah lesson learned, dry's not so great in that recipe.

[HouseHomey]

DWCowles Huskee EC Cheers!

[DWCowles]

Nuff said!

[Mudkat]

That'll smooth out a long week!

[Huskee]

This stuff has my heart right now, I'll say it again it's fantastic.

What I taste- sweet, creme brulee, a caramelized lightly smokey sugar, Werther's.

[BourBonQ]

Oh my, that's a good one.

[DWCowles]

Yes Huskee it is very good

[Huskee]

Toldya!

[HouseHomey]

Cheers!!!

i say let then Russians come..... Please....

[Huskee]

Do you like that HH? I bought a bottle of 2009 EWSB and wasn't crazy about it.

[HouseHomey]

Huskee I really do. There are others I have to try yet. I really enjoy the ice in it after I work.

[Elton's BBQ]

Well hope not the russians come along.. :-)
Cheers anyways!

[Mr. Bones]

half a wee dram of Buffalo Creek, to be followed by a bedtime dose of Nyquil...

[Mudkat]

Uh oh. Under the weather Mr. Bones?

[HouseHomey]

Get well brother. Mine was mostly ice. Wasn't much more than a wee bit. I hope you feel better my friend.

This is a Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout that I made. It's flavor profile is chocolate and roast with hints of Vanilla from the the White Oak barrel, and some residual flavor from the Bourbon. It's a little boozy, yet smooth... And keeps getting better with age. It sat in the barrel for about 6 months. This one weigh's in at about 10% ABV.

[Huskee]

Ye old standby. Perhaps the most all-around perfect bourbon in the world, considering the very affordable price tag.

[PJBowmaster]

I'm with you Huskee. When I drink Bourbon....it's most likely Buffalo Trace.

[BourBonQ]

Hard to go wrong with most anything from Weller.

[Huskee]

Moving on.... if you've never had the privilege, E. H. Taylor is another excellent offering from Buffalo Trace (the makers of Blanton's, Weller, Elmer T. Lee, Eagle Rare, etc). I am officially a Buffalo Trace fanboy and proud of it.

[Elton's BBQ]

Cheers Ladies & Gents!

[smokenoob]

Langunitas IPA

[Elton's BBQ]

Nice scenery!

Awhile back I watched a youtube video of a master sommelier talking whiskey. He had just about every brand sitting on the wall, and he pulls down a Henry McKenna and said it's the most underpriced whiskey on the market. So I tried it and it's become my go-to, I like it better than Blantons. It's your classic, rustic whiskey and once the proper water-to-alcohol ratio kicks in it's hard to stop.

Discovered Slane recently and it's packed with flavor. Both of these can be had for $25 if you wait for a Bevmo coupon.

[Huskee]

Thanks for sharing. I'm always after just such a whiskey, great flavor and underpriced! Ifirmly believe a person doesn't have to pay high prices for great whiskey.

[Larry Grover]

McKenna wouldn't be my choice for neat, it's not smooth like a Blantons. I'ts got a kick to it, but I'm a rocks guy so it suits me well.

[BourBonQ]

Just like with wine... Anybody can go pick a "good" expensive bottle, but it's that much sweeter when you hit on a "good" bottle at a great price. Never had the Slane, but I'm a fan of McKenna.
