What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[Mr. Bones]

Ese, I know dat's right... least, ya' got some rocks fer dessert.
I picked th' same dang thing from my menu, with some food kinda thingies, earlier.
But, fer now...





Sometimes, it can take a double-tap, get this ol' ridgerunnin', stump-jumpin, hillbilly settled in, where's I can sleep...

[Huskee]

Doin' it up right on a Fri there Bones, good for you, you deserve it bro. Oh wait this was yesterday. [record scratches] [Ahem]..doin' it up right on a Thurs..

[Beefchop]

Big fan of both! Love JB Black with just some ice and water.

[Mr. Bones]

I ain't no expert, but I do know what I like...
Both of these please me, greatly...

[Psinderson]

So...what AM I drinking right now???

[Psinderson]

Yes! As the first respondent, @mrbones , you win....well, nothing, except the knowledge that you know what is in a Manhattan. 😁

[Attjack]

What's on tap?

[Psinderson]

Unfortunately nothing. I used to be a big homebrewer and then kids happened and time evaporated. I need to fimd my way nack again!

[Pirate Scott]

So on the way home my wife says let’s stop at a Liquor store and get a bottle of wine. As we pull in she adds " Ooh I hope they are doing a wine tasting". I casually grumble " Nobody ever has a Bourbon Tasting". Well what a pleasant surprise as we walk into a Liquor store I haven’t been to in years and The Knob Creek distributor is there having a tasting! 3 Bottles of Whiskey, and 2 bottles of wine later here we are. FYI all had Rebates 15.00 for purchase of two. 7.00 for one.

[Mr. Bones]

Ya' done went an' won th' Redneck Lottery, brother!!!
Dangdang!!!
Holy Smokin', Sweet Jumpin' Jehoshaphat!!!
Bourbon Rebates would add greatly to my Quality of Life!!!

[Pirate Scott]

Mr. Bones they gave me a shopping cart. Ha, Ha guess I am a Sucker for a little conversation over some samples. Oh well as My Wife said it won’t spoil. Round one was the Knob Bourbon, just poured the Rye, it is Very Smooth.

[Mr. Bones]

I jus' tried th' KC Rye, long 'bout a month, two, back!
Papa Likes!

[Attjack]

A smoked Manhattan.

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks Attjack brother!
Cool to know!
I was eyein' it, thinkin' in might be useable to smoke some cheese...
Looks like I oughtta look more t'wards some of th' tube pellet burners, mebbe?
Still a place in my world fer Smoked Bourbon, though; might haveta amazon one up!

[Attjack]

Yeah I did some fast smoked cheese with it and it gets some flavor on it. But I think a proper cold smoking device that'll run unattended for a couple hours is the better option.

[Mr. Bones]

Roger dat, copy yer last...
I will find a way, or I will make a way...
to smoked cheese, etc.

[Huskee]

WHAT am I drinkin' right now? Well, what are YOU "buyin"? You get to decide!

Here's my bourbon, Scotch, moonshine cabinet. It's a couple bottles light right now, sorry, Not very impressive I know.

First person to "buy me a drink" by replying and telling me what I should be drinking of my avail choices is what I will be drinking. I'll supply proof. (Please, no mixtures, yuck)

So????

[IrondeQuer]

How is that Glenlivet? Just picked up a bottle but have been working on some Lasanta. Love that stuff!

[Huskee]

IrondeQuer The Nadurra olorosso cask is excellent, stronger than the Lasanta but has that sherry cask goodness. The Nadurra first fill oak is harsher.

[IrondeQuer]

Thanks Huskee! I think the Nadurra I have says it's 16 years old. I'm looking forward to it.

[Attjack]

I would probably opt for a Blanton's neat.

[HawkerXP]

Rich & Oily? not to mention they're having a hard time controlling their temps. ;0

[HouseHomey]

How can you not have something called climax? Obviously I'm a virgin to this finer side of drinking.

[Pirate Scott]

HouseHomey welcome to the dark side.

[Huskee]

I would probably opt for a Blanton's neat.

Excellent choice sir. Thanks for the drink!

[Huskee]

Psinderson I agree! Let's do this

[HouseHomey]

Psinderson then we would all be walking around smashed. Hmmm... great idea brother!

[Mr. Bones]

Smashed???
Where do we sign up, in our user profile member settin's thingamajig???
HouseHomey don't jump offa th' High Dive into Bourbon, work yer refined palate through some...
I don't wanna see ya becomin' HouseHomeless!!! Brother!!!

[HouseHomey]

So I was at the BoozeMart today looking to buy my second bottle of Bourbon/whisky, ever. I so enjoyed the first bottle. So I was looking around without any personal knowledge and came across this one for $13.99. I said this must be th cheap junk! Then I thought to myself, Self "Why is this on the top shelf?" So I checked the other bottles.

"Shiver me timbers!" All the other bottles were marked $31.99 so guess what Homey did? Yup, grabbed it up and figured if it sucks im only out 14+tax. Guess what?

I think its delicuos, in my limited experience with this stuff of course.

2.5 oz booze
.05 oz sweet vermouth
2 shakes of orange bitters

FANFREEKINGTASTIC!!!!!

HawkerXP bring your pricing gun.

[Pirate Scott]

HouseHomey that is one of my favorites. You are stealing it @15.00! Save your Bitters, and Vermouth for Southern Comfort though, 4 roses needs no help except ice. It’s so good I usually recommend at least a Dozen Roses.

[HouseHomey]

Pirate Scott working on it now with a single
cube. So delicious and smoooth for,a mixture or 4 things.

[Mr. Bones]

HouseHomey ,got ya' some smoke water goin' yet, to make ice cubes?
Tasty treat, Brother!

[FlaBouy]

Cheers... HouseHomey

[HouseHomey]

Cheers my brother!!

[Huskee]

Mr. Bones I went in reverse order since Attjack responded first. But here y'are. Thanks for the drink!

[Mr. Bones]
