Actually double that to be exact. Makers is decent but nothing stands out about it, reminds me of Jack Daniels, on the bland side. Not to say it's bad, it's quite smooth but I don't taste any hints of anything on it. I knew most ppl on this thread would turn their noses up at flavoured whiskeys but I can say I like them.
And yes I'm a kid at heart, part of being a dad 🥃👻

Yeah just cant do sweet or flavored really. Makers is just a standard I'm an ambassador for them. I agree I don't notice significant flavor profile in it either but I'm old and could accidentally drink rubbing alcohol and be fine.

We've all had worse...

I did have a beer called tongue buckler that I dumped out

Makers Mark is alright but there are far better bourbons for the price. Makers 46 is a bit better and has a more complex flavor from the additional aging.

I think that's the first person that has actually called fireball "good". I mean, we all have done shots of goldschlagger and rumple mints, but they have never been considered a good drink by anyone I know. Something you have to throw down and can't just sip on isn't really a good drink.

With the flavored stuff, to each their own. I personally don't like them as I feel they just hide the bad aspects of a subpar drink. Just like you don't need a good whiskey when mixing with coke, yet I digress and leave you with a photo.

Our go to drink growing up was Jager which I still find decent and yes it's not a drink you can take more than a few of but I wanted to try it. I think you can sip it, just limit the quantity which I do now or I get nasty hangovers.

corn18 · 12-31-2019, 09:40 AM

Had a one once pour of Louis XIII after dinner. Very tasty.

I don't know about the flavoured Crown, but marketing I guess. If you can get a bottle of Danfeild 21 year old Canadian Blended Rye. DO IT. It's dirt cheap for what you get, about $45 CAD a bottle the last time I managed to get one.

I haven’t found any BTAC yet, but I’ll keep trying.

Happy NYE gents!

I had the last shot from a bottle and they gave me the packaging. Pretty cool stuff.

The bottle is worth $400+ on Ebay.

My wife has me on the lookout for the white ceramic tequila bottle. She found ONE at second-hand store, and managed to get it for $14

.

We saw it at one bar, and I told the young tender behind the bar that whomever buys the last shot gets first shot at the empty. She was having none of it, said she already promised it to some other guy who already had a pair and was making lamps. . .

(yes, the sounds totally improper, yet I can't even remember her name or what she looked like)

Making a lamp or wearing a lampshade? You should have overruled her with the manager!!!! Lol!!

I'm working my way through another ceramic she made me buy for her, that there is NO WAY we can make into a lamp (or lampshade) for $175. It's very sweet, tastes like the Grand Marnier is already in the bottle.

Her sister bought one for her brother. Not sure who gets first claim to that one, but come January 6 I will do my damnedest to empty it for them, if only to watch the ensuing catfight.

Clas Azul, that's the one!

I'm not surprised. It's very ornate bottle. Start early. Sneak into their home and hit it every day until then. By the 6th it'll be easy pickings. You're welcome!!
