OT: Whatcha Drinkin' II: Another Round!

[Carolinas Identity*]

Tin Man Ego Crusher

12% ABV, goes down thick. Think Old Rasputin, but way heavier

$16 for a 4 pack. I don't know how easy it is to get outside of southern Indiana/western Ky but it's damn well worth it.

After this I have a sealed bottle of Elijah Craig barrel proof that's begging to be opened. Couple sips of that stuff and I won't be able to feel my face.

That thing sounds amazing!!

if prairie bomb wasn't insanely expensive around here it would also be up there

that stuff is delicious but makes ten fidy seem cheap

You can occasionally find it for something reasonable at Bottle Rev, but yeah that beer is hella expensive.

Not much these days in the hopes of losing some weight. I'll still steal the occasional sip off of whatever justhereforthefights is drinking though.

i got a few bottles there for under 6 dollars a piece last year and was very pleased

Tullamore Dew....

Also, flavoured Vodkas from Absolute (currently/eventually the Citron)... They don't freeze solid.

 

[Roboturner913]

I like Tullamore Dew a lot, it's the only Irish whiskey besides Jameson I bother with. I bought a bottle of Kilbeggan not too long ago, it was so bland I wouldn't do anything with it except put it in coke.

tullamore dew is the only irish whiskey i like

Hennessy VS

Captain Morgan Bold... I'm forever dissapointed in the lack of choices of rum available.

It's not that there aren't a lot of good rums it just seems like distribution is weird. I love Cruzan single barrel but it's near impossible to find where I live. I usually end up getting either Myers, Appleton Estate or Blackheart. Or Wray & Nephew, if I want to light something on fire.

As far as the cognac I just got a bottle of Remy Martin XO last night to put in the bar. I really want to try it but I don't feel like I can open a $100 bottle if it's not a special occasion.

Unfortunately, Cruzan didn't come up in any of my searches, but I respect a person who can keep any bottle unopened. Hennessey XO will be purchased New Year's eve for me.

Two bottles of wine (they're fancy, from the vintage section, but all wines taste like fermented grape juice to me).

Lot No. 40 rye... Chose it over Maker's Mark and Pike Creek (the online reviews of whiskeys drive me nuts... Notes of fruitcake vs notes of dill pickle? Little girls, please).

It think this will be my summer of whiskey.

I certainly know what I am not drinking tonight, because

I'm seeing an awful lot of new stuff coming out billed as single copper pot stilled. Must be trying to cash in on the moonshine craze. I don't think I've ever had a rye of that nature though.

more please

Sierra Nevada Otra Vez. So tasty.

There's a local small brewery here in Ft Collins named Horse and Dragon, kind of an off shoot from Odell's.

Sage adweiss.
Ft KÖlnz Kolsch.
Sad Panda coffee stout.
Vanilla Caramel Double Cream ale.

They don't really distribute other than some kegs to the local eateries, so you won't find them anywhere else but here yet which is a shame. I havent had a bad beer from them yet. If y'all are ever up this way I highly recommend.

Wicked Weed Fig Saison.

Surprisingly good, true Saison style with a twist, but just a one-off, exploratory order.

 

[toastmasterbone]

Polished off a bottle of Fullsteam's Señor Igor tequila barrel-aged imperial stout (11.5% ABV) that I'd been saving. Loved it, although I subsequently hurt myself playing darts.

Is it actually any good?

Drinking a cheap french red right now. Pretty bland, but for a $7 wine, far from terrible.
