Drinking Belle Meade Sour Mash. In a low ball with a few cubes.
This is a well balanced whiskey, but the rye makes it a bit spicy. Not overly sweet, peaty or floral. Very drinkable and not a bad price, paid $45 for 750mL.
Noice! I use th Nature Fridge n Freezer combo, quite a bit...
Reckon ya do know, ya can successfully scoop up a bit of dranks holder, round dat rocks glass, an proactively prevent it from gittin tepid, or goin 'off'
Retired, living in Western Mass. Enjoy music, cooking and my family.
Current cookers Weber Spirit 3 burner with a full insert griddle added. A 22" Kettle with vortex, SnS and a Smokey Joe. The most recent addition is a Pit Barrel Jr with bird hanger, 4 hooks and cover. ThermoWorks Smoke 2 probe, DOT, 2 ThermoPops and a Thermapen MK4. A Thermoworks RFX Gateway 2 probe meat thermometer.
I found a way to make the crappy grocery store Port wine (Taylor or Fairbanks) that I buy for cooking taste half way decent: 2/3 crap port and 1/3 good cognac or brandy. Yeah, I know you are supposed to cook with what you would drink but most times I'm NOT going to use $30-50/bottle Port for cooking.

I’m guessing this bottle is why I like Makers so much. Started the whole wheated bourbon thing. This is an inexpensive/entry to the wheated bourbons. Quite tasty and great value. I taste sweet(honey?), followed by vanilla notes, very little burn. Enjoyable drink next to a fire and good friends.
Doing some big Old Fashioned’s for the Super Bowl. 2tsp simple syrup, 4-5 squirts each of angostura bitters and orange bitters, 2 Luxardo maraschino cherries, 6oz WT101, big sphere cube. One for the first qtr, just made #2 for beginning of 2nd qtr.
They really did bunky2021. In the winter months I move my pellet grill and smoker under my deck that's 8 feet up making it a snow free area with plenty of snow around the outside of the area for nature's cooler.
I recently stumbled across this whiskey locally. I am pleased because it is an American one which I’ve mentioned wanting to expand my taste profile into more US whiskeys. It was $35 for a 750 ML. The backstory is kind of fun with it being the first distillery in Lexington since Prohibition.
I actually really like it. It has a much stronger flavor than any of the other US whiskeys I have tried. It is not peaty like the Scottish whiskys so not comparable but definitely a very nice and enjoyable pour. I will buy again if I see it.
