The Whiskey Thread

my liquor store lady talked me into buying elmer t. lee. it's good.

would a vodka thread be pushing it

haha no way, go for it!

why didn't jesus turn water into whiskey instead of into wine, because that would have been a lot better.

new beltbuckle

you can believe i pulled that shit off the bottle

this whiskey has the same initials as my smokes so

i never thought i could love an elmer but i do.

i do.

elmer t fudd

favorite non vodka drink:

makers on the rocks
splash of cointreau
squeeze of lemon

the guy at the liquor store told me that elijah craig is the best value whiskey you can buy ($20) so i bought some. it's okay but i don't think it's going to replace anything.

last night we drank jim beam doubles and danced under this

or maybe it was jack daniels? whatever, either way it was bad.
the rest of it was awesome, though.

nah jim beam it was

three roses bourbon? Or four roses? Good. Caramel/smoky and smooth. The bartender gave it to me for free because he was the kind of guy who liked to be an expert and I asked a lot of questions.

shoot. if i'd remembered i would have looked for that at the fancy liquor store we went to yesterday. next time.

instead i bought elmer t. lee, and i am enjoying it right now. it tastes like sweetarts.

While investors flee traditional markets such as stocks and commodities on growing recession fears, trade in rare bottles of whisky is flourishing

i love bulleit

it's got a weird froth though, right when the drink is made

grabbed this off of the other whiskey thread

here's what merle haggard has to say about dickel:

"I think George Dickel is absolutely the best Tennessee mash whiskey. It's my understanding that Jack Daniel's was an attempt to try to take the recipe of George Dickel to a commercial state of reproducing it. Whereas they couldn't do that with George Dickel, because in order to make it the way they make it, they would have had to repeat too many different formulas. It would have been impossible. They did certain things at certain temperatures in a certain kind of water. So I went down there and looked at their distilleries and saw what they were doing, saw the difference between that and Jack Daniel's, and I couldn't believe it. You take George Dickel and you pour it over ice and hold it up to the light, and it won't separate. But if you take Jack Daniel's and do that, hold it up to the light, you'll notice that the corn oil starts separating from the whiskey, because it hasn't been married at the correct temperature. When you go down and have this education thrown upon you, and then you drink it—everybody got drunk when we was taking pictures. It was about 20 girls and about 20 guys, and we're all down in this creek drunk with two fists of George Dickel apiece, and we all stayed over and had breakfast together, and not a one of us had a hangover."

Note to self get some dickel
