What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[BourBonQ]

Decisions, decisions...

[raven]

Here outside of Charlotte I can't find Blanton's at the ABC stores. I do have the Eagle Rare and the Maker's 46 and those two are my favorite bourbons of the ones I have sampled.

[cashelton]

It's Maker's 46 for me tonight!

[Huskee]

That's a pile of goodness right there! The first two are tough choices for me. I think Blanton's has more lingering deliciousness, but Eagle Rare has more up front 'now' deliciousness. And since ER is half the price, I vote ER!

[JGo37]

Too much, I suppose. I was going to post 'Old Vine Zinfandel'. Imagine my surprise when I found the bottle reads Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon.

Now, where's that salt shaker for the rim...

[Attjack]

Double IPA for me and a cider for her.

[Attjack]

Only if you're not drinking fast enough.

[Red Man]

Can’t chug double IPA!

[Attjack]

Psst. It was just for the picture. BUT my girlfriend did make me slam that beer since she downed her cider with lightning speed.

[JGo37]

Guinness Stout, poured into a glass. It's a school night...

[Red Man]

In that case, better make it a double!

[JGo37]

Now it makes me wonder a bit when I'm posting to this tonight, and I'm also the last one to post to this yesterday.

No matter, I'm done wondering. It's my birthday.

Mango Ancho Stout. I bet you didn't see that coming... I went with a Schlafly Stout Flight box to go with Hickory-smoked Country Pork Ribs & Maulls' BBQ Sauce, Baked Yam, Roasted Brussels Sprouts, and Boiled White Mushrooms. I needed a simple dinner plan to be done in time for kickoff.

The other flavors in the box are Mexican-style Chocolate Stout, Raspberry Coffee Stout, and Dolce de Leche Stout.

[JGo37]

Hey - oh that's cool. My wife (nurse) has the second shift today. I'll be done - stick a fork in me - when she gets home.

Happy Birthday! Hope you're having a good one...

I didn't like the Dolce de Leche - it's like drinking a loaf of holiday bread.

[Mr. Bones]

Happy belated Birthday, brother!

[JGo37]

Mr. Bones caught it! Thank you. j

[Attjack]

Heading to the barbershop so that means I'll be sipping on a whiskey in about 10 minutes.

[JGo37]

You give people haircuts while under the influence? That must be fun!

[Attjack]

Yeah, ugh, not exactly. Drinks are free at my barber's shop.

[Oakgrovebacon]

Crown royal maple on ice to ward off the chill. 33 deg and light mist here. A couple deg cooler and snow would look and feel better. Cheers!

[JGo37]

It's a bit colder in the Lou - how does that work?

[Huskee]

Yuck. Cold rain is the worst. I'd rather have a foot of snow falling and 15 deg than almost freezing wetness.

I usually reach for the Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPA. I've only had this in variety packs.

[JCBBQ]

I’ve got to credit Huskee for this. He’s always trying different whiskey. It got me thinking, why do I always buy the same stuff? That was about 3-4 months ago and I have since realized that I like rye Manhattans waaaay more than bourbon ones. This is my favorite rye so far. I like the 100 proof in a mixed drink, but this is pretty darn tasty neat. Also, at mid $20 price point, I can get 2 for the price on my Blanton's. Anyone else like it?

[Larry Grover]

The DrinkSkool boys make some nice drinks. They use Rittenhouse for Manhattens, and tell you how to make your own (booze soaked) dry cherries.

Larry Grover Thanks!

[Larry Grover]

Came back from a Caribbean cruise with some rare birds. Such good prices there...like El Dorado 15 year for $26 no duty or tax.

[Larry Grover]

And Bambu rum, I've seen this one available here. If you like the taste of butterscotch look no further. Would make a great topping on ice cream...I barely taste the alcohol, it's like candy

[Larry Grover]

And just an FYI regarding my Caribbean cruise. The cruise ships really rip you off on drinks. I was paying $8.00 per drink, and while everyone else was drinking sugary, icy gunk all I ordered was Scotch. I quickly settled on 'Dalwhinnie 15 year' not knowing Bevmo sells it here for $90 per bottle.

There are 17 servings of 1.5 ounce drinks in a 750ml bottle. So 17 x $8.00 per drink = $136 per bottle. So that's some pretty good bang for the buck, compared to paying $6.00 for a beer.

You also pay $8 for the much cheaper Bulliet, Buffalo Trace, Makers Mark to name a few.

[Willard]

Coffee!

[Mr. Bones]

Ditto...
