what are you drinking, breh?

By Shanks D Zoro Go To Postyou are not wrong, but sometimes you just got to go with what is available.

best of the worst

Ritas Lime-A-Rita: not a fan. Too thick.
Truly Hard Seltzer: not a fan. Not enough flavor to overpower the seltzer.

But... if you mix them together... it passes. Wouldn't buy either again, though.

Found out they make moscow mules in a can

Not hitting. Might drain half and fill the rest with ketel one

Where's Shanks? I just drank a Westvleteren and SB12 at 15 degrees and it blew my mind. It might be my best one yet.

I always forget this thread exists, going to have a mouton 2000 for when my parents arrive, interested to know what something that old tastes like.

Nothing good, nothing befitting me. It's been a week.

Do you drink alot?

Naw. Maybe a few glasses on a Thursday. A looooooooot on a Friday (prolly with blow). And that's it.

By Laboured Go To PostNaw. Maybe a few glasses on a Thursday. A looooooooot on a Friday (prolly with blow). And that's it.

Standard weekly city cycle lol. Spirits or pints?

Have your Friday afternoons turned into a sunday evening?

Oh God what does that mean?

Hahaha nah nothing sinister, just up Friday Saturdays and then crash sunday evening.

Lmao. Christ I couldn't go on that long. At my worst excess I'd be up till very early on Saturday and admit defeat and be up by Saturday afternoon. No idea how anyone could charge through Saturday (if that's what you mean). That's fucking more hardcore than I could ever commit to even in my younger days.

Only 5 or 6 in my life but it happens, the journey home is that of filth shame and disgust.

God fucking damn. It appears we both understand shame.

Which one did you prefer?

Drinking old stuff always depends on how it has been handled. Temperature and light changes can really fuck shit up. Make sure you are buying from a reputable establishment or restuarant. I usually like drinking Barolos because the longer they age the better.

I had a bottle of Dom P2 1998 two years ago and that was extraordinary.

If you really want to drink old shit then whisky is always the way to go. And the great thing is that you can compare stuff right next to each other. Gonna buy some samples of official Laphroaig 25(a couple different years), 27, and 28 when I am in London for chirstmas. Will also get an independent Laphroaig 20. Then I can finally have my dream dram, The Laphroaig 40.

By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostWhich one did you prefer?

SB12 for sure, apparently a blue Chimay is also great at those temps (12-15) but they were all out last night.

Had a couple of Toki Highballs last night with an orange peel. For a good time, it's Suntory time.

Oh yeah for sure! I've had it for a few years as have a small holding in wine that I use for long term investments and all stored in bond and you pay for all that stuff to be sorted. But this had done very well ( bought 5 and half cases for like 24k in 2012 and sold 4 of them for 20k a case and exempt from CGT 😊) so decided to take the half case to drink as its xmas coming. Going to let it breathe a while as well before I take a sip.

I hope to write a mini review soon. Standouts were the Laphroaig 27, Cairdeas Cask Strength Quarter Cask, and the Glenffidich Select reserve.

Keto(ish) or no, I still seem to have that taste for Redd's Wicked Apple Ale... sometimes mixed with vodka.

Should be a crime for alcohol to taste this good. Damn shame it also packs a shit load of carbs.

Vieux Carre has quickly become my favourite slow drinking cocktail.

Got a late birthday present from a friend, a Deanston Madeira cask 12y whiskey.
Probably going to have a taste of it tomorrow, anyone familiar?

Tonight, cheap grocery store wine

Sadly not, never heard of that distillery(always blows me away how many I still don't know)

Enjoy, and please review :)))

Every night.

it's a free drink who cares, За здоровье!

all I have left right now is Patrón XO, which is not ideal to say the least.

By Yurt Nomura Go To Postit's a free drink who cares, За здоровье!

You speak the true true comrade!

Oops missed reviewing it but here goes :
The Deanston gives a strong full taste, a bit to much for my liking. So I deluded it a bit with 2 teaspoons of water, breaks it up a bit.
After that, went down smoother, brought out the fresh fruit taste a bit more.
Having one (or my third, who cares) with an ice cube each glass and it's way better that way, for me.

this is real?

Came across an independent rum maker over twitter and while it's not exactly cheap (40 pounds including delivery) its honestly one of the nicest rums I've ever tasted. The spicing is so elite, a symphony of background notes that takes you on such an adventure with each sip. But its also not over powering ya know, if I could make a comparison the spicing would be like lisa Fincher doing backing vocals for the rolling stones or something.

By /sy Go To Postthis is real?

what is making it unbelievable for you?

Good hooch...

Hennessy drunk is way different from Vodka drunk

Switching off completely different parts of my brain

Everything.

I just had a Duchesse De Bourgogne and it might be the best Sour beer Ive ever had. Light fruity taste with a nice Sour base and a full aroma. It's to good., for real.

Sorrel

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostSorrel

Did you make it yourself?

Have you ever had Mauby

So I just found out about Sous vide booze infusion. Tonight I’m going experimenting with a rosemary lemon infused vodka. Tomorrow I want to do vanilla orange bourbon.

Sous vide basically cuts alcohol infusion down to hours from weeks

By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostSorrel

Some years I hate it, some years I love it.

Nothing good.

By Kidjr Go To PostDid you make it yourself?

Have you ever had Mauby

One of my aunts makes it, also a friend of my mother makes the best one but she doesn't do it often.

I've had the Puerto Rican version of Mauby

this any good?

Cider innit.

Got white jose cuervo last weekend, can't decide if it's better for cocktails than my beloved tito's

By /sy Go To Postthis any good?

Nvm it’s an ipa aka dog piss

IPAs are good if you start drinking them when you're 22 and white
