What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

bd307 · 09-28-2017, 03:54 PM

Kavalan is way overrated IMO. Went to their factory in Taiwan when they started winning some awards few years back. Unimpressive.

Currently sipping Aberlour 16 and it is quite nice. Switching between straight up and on rock depending on mood.

So we were at Trader Joe's in Indianapolis today. I was looking around for their whiskey when I remembered TJ's only sells wine and beer in IN. I said something to one of the staff and he told me that a grocery store in Indiana cannot sell hard liquor unless there is also a pharmacy in the store. Now *that* is one of the stupidest laws I've ever heard of. Then he said, "You know how you see liquor at Walgreen's and CVS..." And I remembered that the Walgreen's and CVS stores in IL also sell hard liquor. But so do supermarkets with no pharmacies, so I guess the pharmacy rule here is different.

AE is pretty damn good at its price point. Whistle Pig Rye is really good for roughly $80 bottle. Love it.

Trying some Baker's Bourbon tonight. Not bad so far.

M_Six · 10-01-2017, 12:31 AM

Enjoying my Gentleman Jack and a splash of seltzer again. I keep coming back to this. Just plain good stuff.

ShopVac · 10-06-2017, 07:56 PM

Cracked open today - cause you know, Friday.

Can't get myself to add said water....

^^ what kind of magical chalice is that?

upstatedoc · 10-06-2017, 08:02 PM

Watching Yankees playoff game. Currently winning although by a hair.

M_Six · 10-06-2017, 08:21 PM

Not any more. Tied up. But at least the Yanks are putting up a fight. Unlike the Red Sox who will get swept again.

Plantation Pineapple on the rocks for me tonight.

Oh well. Have another and forget that they blew an 8-3 lead.

My Red Sox got pummeled again (no surprise), so feel free to give me grief.

This doesn't need all of the "flashy commercials and celebrity endorsements".

It is simply one of the BEST VODKAS you can buy at ANY price point! Just ask a anyone from Russia.
