I have a terrible time with whiskey. Good or bad. I turn into blackout bobby almost immediately. I very much appreciate the taste of a good smoky whiskey but once you start talking about catching a buzz and beyond i am out. Learned the hard way many times over.

Today is dry day #27. I took one weekend off this month for a friend's birthday, but other than that it's gone very well. I'm going to stay strong up until 2/4.

Wow. Impressive. I couldn’t do it. Though I never tried. Why 2/4??? Just a random date you selected or is their some significance?
Edit… thinking because its the first available Friday..

It’s not too hard honestly, it just makes the weekend kind of boring lol, but the trade off of no hangovers has been nice

You cracked the 2/4 code it’s just the first Friday, I don’t drink during the week typically

Re: Drink Recommendations
 

Every now and then I’ll buy something new with bourbon… picked up Russell’s Reserve 10 Year Bourbon. Just ok. It’ll probably linger longer on the shelf than others.

Re: Drink Recommendations
 

Bought a South Carolina whiskey for the holidays. But I wouldn't know the difference between a whiskey or bourbon if put in front of me. Can anyone here tell the difference? Any preference between the 2?

What Makes a Bourbon: A Cheat Sheet

Must be made in the United States.
Must contain 51% corn.
Must be aged in new oak-charred barrels.
Must be distilled to no more than 160 proof and entered into the barrel at 125 proof.
Must be bottled at no less than 80 proof.
Must not contain any added flavoring, coloring or other additives.

Re: Drink Recommendations
 

Bourbon is typically smoother and easier to drink.
American Whiskey is rougher around the edges.

There are some Japanese whiskeys that are worth a try.
Nikka…. So damn good. I can’t justify the price.

Just got a bottle of Nikka Coffey, pretty tasty and smooth.

Also got a bottle of Port Charlotte 10, total smoke show

Re: Drink Recommendations
 

Do y'all drink your scotch/whiskey/bourbon straight or on the rocks? I've never really done that myself. I'm the cheapskate that pours Jim Beam into diet coke.

Re: Drink Recommendations
 

Sometimes ice, sometimes neat, sometimes a little splash of water, no wrong answers as to how you like it. Only time I like to mix with soda is with Jack or Jameson.

Rocks, having acid reflux with room temp bourbon is a no go.

I tasted several Japanese whiskey at thanksgiving, one supposed primo bottle…just not for me. I’ll stick to the blue grass state in the sweet sunny south.

Let me make suggestion…I want you to move from Jim bean and coke to Jack Daniels and ginger ale. With ice…please

Your welcome SD

Re: Drink Recommendations
 

Hey something I’m curious about…does anyone order liquor online? What’s a good service, good prices website if you do?

I usually hit up my local ABC store, but have been considering using order service if it’s affordable

Re: Drink Recommendations
 

I dont do hard liquor, one of my rules that has served me well

BUT i am having this amazing smoked old fashioned on New Years at this white glove place Royal Taj. They bring it out, have this torch pipe set up and smoke some herbs that smoke the drink and theres a top on it so the smoke sits

Cheers on New Years, celebrate the ones you love while they are still alive. Let them know.

Very small twist on Mimosa's. I use Asti instead of Champaign.

If sipping straight I go neat. I find when it’s iced I lose some of the flavor nuances like the toasted vanilla that comes out of Woodford.

But most the time I go old fashioneds because I get some of the acid reflux Chico’s talking about, and the sugar bitters and ice cuts it. I use black walnut bitters, the aroma is awesome.

I like old fashioned's.

They are good and when I'm drinking one, I'm way classier than I am in real life lol. Feels so adult and mature.

I don’t know if you got to get the Holiday Elijah Craig Small Batch package this year, but it came with a Black Walnut syrup for old fashions and I thought it was good. Lil sweet, but decent. I also have bought the woodford bitters set, and their black walnut was solid.
