Whiskey is actually what I drink when I'm trying to stay relatively sober. It's got enough kick that I'll drink it slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I buy a $7-8 glass of Jameson, I'm gonna take my time to really enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can probably count on one had the number of times I've had it. Two of those times were within the last month and one was within the last week. Generally I'm a crown royal guy if I'm drinking whiskey. I like crown apple as well, but that may be frown upon by true whiskey afficianodos.

I tried the Jim Beam cherry recently, and almost had to spit it out. Reminded me of the taste of cherry Skoal ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My buddy brought one of those for the MNF game this year vs the Pats. We were in RV lot so we got started Sunday afternoon. There were 3 of us, and one didn’t have any at all on Monday. We had killed at least 1/2 the bottle. Lots of beer also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills bar we go to used to have a drink special they call the Kelly Kool-Aid. Jim Beam or Crown Apple, Sprite, Peach Vodka, and a splash of Cranberry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular drink at one of my fav local watering holes is Crown Apple Moscow Mule. Never tried it, but it seems to be popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing is something to behold. Just how it pours is wonderful. To kill half that bottle in 36 hours is heroic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To kill half that bottle in 36 hours is heroic. There were also multiple weed pens present. When the bottle was still pretty full, one of my buddies kept trying to pour the whiskey with the cup flat on the table instead of raising the cup up to the bottle. Watching him try to not spill any was pretty entertaining. I’m thinking the pens may have had something to do with that for all involved parties ??♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snafu Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) 9 hours ago, The Real Buffalo Joe said: When money isn't an issue, I go for Jameson. What I drink on a budget is Evan Williams White Label. It's bonded, so it has more alcohol in it. I usually drink my whiskey with a splash of water, so depending on my mood, I usually just add a bit more water, and less whiskey, it lasts longer. It's hard to find, but it's less than 20 bucks for a big bottle. Usually lasts me 4-6 months. There's a local Texas brand called Rebecca Creek that's pretty good. Anybody else enjoy a glass of whiskey while puffing on a good cigar? Does water count as a mixer? I do that frequently in the warmer months. When you see me posting at around 9:00 or 10:00 pm in the summer, that's probably what I'm doing. McCallan 12 Yamazaki Bulleit Rye is really good Jameson Black Cask Johnnie Black, sometimes Platinum Crown Royal has a nice flavor I had a bottle of Laws whiskey one time, but I can't find it anywhere. Loved it. A friend gave me a bottle of Oban. I haven't opened it yet. Never tried it before. Edited January 9, 2019 by snafu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
