A fun day at the liquor store!

[EstimatedProphet]

I love expanding my liquor cabinet...

I got:


Old Overholt Rye Whiskey


Chimayo Tequila


Rowan's Creek Small Batch Bourbon


Deanston's 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch

Well, I know what I'm drinking tonight!
How about you?

1. Old Overholts rocks!

I like Manhattans, but I like them with rye. Old Overholt rules! ;)

[EstimatedProphet]

2. Manhattans were originally made for rye, weren't they?

I was reading a page on rye whiskey the other day that said someting to the effect of that.

[JVS]

6. Yes

[Wickerman]

3. Nice selections, I am grilling at present, and enjoying a

Klarbrunn

A nice natural raspberry flavored sparkling water.

With my T-bone I will enjoy an ice cold glass of Skim.

Wooo-hooo - its saturday night.

:toast:

[EstimatedProphet]

4. Ahhh. A T-bone

I'm grilling burgers&brats tonight. Tomorrow night steaks. Mmmmmmm

[eyesroll]

5. Mmm...rye...

I actually don't care much for most whisk(e)ys, but for some reason, I like rye. I think I'm going to pour myself some rye.

[EstimatedProphet]

7. I do too

Nice and smooth...I often put it in my barbecue sauce too.

[Whitacre D_WI]

14. HEY!

Don't be drinking all my damn rye!

[EstimatedProphet]

16. Sorry, but I must

The Old Overholt is the next thing on my list. Gotta try em all!

[Whitacre D_WI]

17. Erm... no offense...

but just what the hell are YOU doing with MY rye?

I thought you bought your own Old Overholt.

I was talking to eyesroll. I don't want her drinking all my booze while I'm in Cleveland.

[EstimatedProphet]

18. Oops! Guess you found out our little secret...

I am talking about my rye, of course. It's the way things post on DU; it's sometimes easy to get confused as to who is posting to who.

[Catshrink]

8. Just bought Kiltlifter...

[Waverley_Hills_Hiker]

9. Could someone explain this "Small Batch Bourbon" thing to me?

Im a Kentuckian who lived near the bourbon producing region, and the only true small batch/small capacity operation Im familiar with was Makers Mark.

[EstimatedProphet]

10. According to the bottle...

small batch bourbon distilleries produce only a small amount, so that the distiller can spend more time with each batch.
Rowan's Creek is based in Bardstown KY and apparently has only been around a few years, like since 1981.
Other than that, I know I like it better than Jim Beam or Jack Daniels. I like MAker's Mark too.

[LostInAnomie]

11. Cutty Sark and some RC

Smoothest drink ever!

[EstimatedProphet]

12. For bourbon drinkers:

Trying the Rowan's Creek now, on the rocks. Damned fine whiskey! WOW! Really smooth! I highly recommend it.

[Catshrink]

13. Fire at the Wild Turkey plant a couple years ago

[MsSnood]

15. Vodka here. Nothing fancy

[Bertha Venation]

19. for all my talk of enjoying tequila . . . :-(

having hepatitis C sucks. So tonight I'm enjoying the rare bouquet of Caffeine-Free Diet Coke.

[EstimatedProphet]

20. Ohhhh! Sorry! My sincere sympathies!

I have had Hep A twice, and just general jaundice several times (I have Gilbert's syndrome). Hep C is one of my nightmares. Hope you get better.

[Bertha Venation]

21. thanks

I will get better, but I doubt I'll ever lose the virus. I am going to have to live healthily to compensate. The only known cure has a very nasty side effect (major depression) that I'm not willing to suffer.
