What drink did you have today?

Grummer · 06-25-2011, 03:23 AM

I hope this will be a long standing thread like 'what did you do today' whats your vent' threads

it has to be alcoholics or else, a very fine cold beverage, not milkshakes, not orange juices

and it doesnt have to be a daily thing, but ideally yes LOL...

it has to be rum, whisky (or whiskey), bourbon, wine (red or white), anything,,,

as for in particular to wine, please state what grapes and its vintage (year of harvesting) and orgin , give your rate out of 5 or out of 10 , anyway you prefer but be realistic in terms of prices as well you can comment on this also please dont send if the drinks you had are from the very bottom of the normal range, its pointless, the point of this thread is to educate what are out there and to help one another to know if the novelty, exotic hand made are worth the extra dosh (money), like for beers I no long buy in 6 packs of doz of cheap shit, i buy in 2 bottles of singles costing $7 each sometimes 10 each yes, these are NOT cheap but thats the thing it really opens up to what beer REALLY ought to taste like!... i too like whisky because i pay attention to its structure, body, flavour and its longtivity of its taste/aftertaste...

so there
my first post is

Mountain Goat Beer, - India Pale Ale, 640ml
handmade -rare breed- they said on lablel...

tastes?
very well balanced on in between its own unique taste/structure and what india pale ale supposed to taste like, id give it 8/10 because it was reasonablly pirce for 640ml T $8.50 (NOW this is in NZ, where this might be $5 a bottle in the States)

excellent beer!

my 'current favourite' is Emersons Old 95..bloody good but all sold out

your turn

**ash345** · 06-25-2011, 04:39 PM

I enjoy a glass of wine, sweet wine is my favorite. Though I can rarely turn down a hard liquor, especially some vodka or tequila.

I am in the mood for a triple shot of Jack Daniels with a beer chaser. Give me a few of those and I will be happy for the night.

DeafCaroline · 06-25-2011, 08:35 PM

Really? You're the only person I know who loves that stuff. I can handle it but only in very small amounts and only if mixed in a cocktail. but I do love Ouzo.

Back in '86 when I lived in Missouri, I used to keep a bottle of Jack wrapped up in a blanket and tied to the spare tire that was under the bed of my little Ford Ranger truck during the winter. It would get chilled and be ready for a good drink when I needed it.

**Bottesini** · 06-25-2011, 08:39 PM

Goodness, I feel like breaking out the GranGala, an orange liquer.

DeafCaroline · 06-25-2011, 08:42 PM

Jack Daniel's is pretty expensive in Canada, my jaw dropped to see how cheap it is in Arkansas. But I profess a preference for Maker's Mark which I cannot get in Canada at all.

**Jiro** · 06-25-2011, 08:47 PM

soon - I will drink a fine homemade coffee. This small bag of coffee beans is from Yemen - Saih Valley. We're fortunate enough just to get 1 lb of it because this particular farmer in Yemen has only 300 trees.

On the average - one tree can produce about 1 lb of coffee beans. In Yemen, it produces much less than that because they're not industrialized like Brazilian farmers under contract with Starbucks or those big namers.

Can't wait to try it!

I'm from Arkansas, and I agree- the drinks there are really cheap. I miss buying my drinks there! Wah!

We should spend a day together drinking various spirits......

Anyhoo.. I am currently drinking the Reverend.
A Belgian Style Quad Ale. 10% abv. wooooooot

Centrifuged beer is so much better than filtered.

DeafCaroline · 06-25-2011, 09:00 PM

In Canada, the small bottle of Jack Daniel's is about 35 or 40 bucks so it's considered fancy to get Jack's. Same bottle in Arkansas was only like 19 or 21 bucks. Almost half the price.

I kept thinking that if I opened a liquor store that's open on Sundays only in the South, I'd be a multi-millioinaire

I've never seen so many liquor stores packed together like they are in Arkansas, Georgia and Mississippi yet you can't get any on Sundays. Argh. I KNOW they drink on Sundays so it doesn't make sense to keep the shops closed. It's funny to see the last minute runs on Saturday nights.

makers mark is great stuff, cheap here in NZ, and better than most bourbons
I also have Eliah Craig 12, Van Winkle 12, Bookers (very good but very very strong), wild turkey 101. My fav bourbon at home is the WT101, van winkle comes close second just a tad tooo sweet i guess the older like 15 or 21 would be better but dont want to know its prices (in USA the 23 yo is over $400 per bottle!)...

my favourite is Bookers (but its still in box - saving it for as I have rules to have 6 bottle opened at any one time)

Cheers and yes if you come to NZ, you're welcome to join for some drams

Grummer · 06-25-2011, 10:14 PM
