TexanBrad Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Bin 27, a daily port pour. Port wine, my second and sometimes first choice when I just want to kick back.

Journeyman Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Drinking Fortaleza Blanco tequila tonight. I haven't had a lot of good tequilas, but I really do like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in agreement there, Harry. $15 I think, and a really nice and fruity drinker. I however, hate Bryce Harper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I however, hate Bryce Harper... $15 is about what we pay here. I like it better than some 10YR tawnies costing lots more - Otima, Taylor Fladgate 10YR to name two that I do like, but . . . Harper? As well you should - at least whenever he faces Teheran. 15 for 33 with 7 HRs. OTOH, the Braves are so much better than last year. The EAST may end up knocking each other off this year. Bummer.

Journeyman Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Fortaleza Blanco tequila once again for me. I've had this bottle open for a couple years now and am working towards a bottle kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Mezcal Vago Tepeztate mezcal this afternoon. A batch from February 2015, 301.5 liters distilled, 52% ABV. It's amazing how much different this tastes than tequila. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Fortaleza Blanco tequila, as I work down the bottle. Also as an early salute to Cinco de Mayo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Fortaleza Blanco tequila, as I work down the bottle. Also as an early salute to Cinco de Mayo. [emoji4] One of my favorite blancos. Makes an excellent margarita but it's even better on its own, I'd say. Feliz Cinco de Mayo! I'm halfway in the spirit of the holiday myself as I'm drinking the Copper & Kings 3 Marlenas, a 3yo American apple brandy finished for an additional 24 months in tequila barrels. This is fairly tequila-forward, in a good way, with some fruitiness in the mid-palate and finish (likely at least partially from the apple brandy). Weird but good, I think I'll pick up a backup bottle since K&L just discounted it to $20/375ml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpiz Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm back onto the C&K 3 Marlenas tonight. I'm getting the fruitiness earlier than I did when I tasted it before. The tequila and apple are well integrated and both seem to provide some fruit flavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcpfratn Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Enjoying a couple of glasses of Woody Creek Gin with a bit of Roses Lime Juice on ice.

Journeyman Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Drinking Del Maguey's Chichicapa Mezcal this afternoon. It's the first bottle of Mezcal that I bought or tasted and I continue to be impressed with it, even after having tried Mezcal Vago's Tempeztate and Wahaka's Tobala, both of which are harder to come by in my area.

clingman71 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I keep finding myself reaching for Real McCoy 12 LE, great pour with more complexity than I am used to with rum, so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Amy and I went to a street fair in Tipp City today. It is a small community just 15 minutes from me. A very charming couple were manning a booth for their 2 sons who run a business called Buckeye Distillery. They make 4 different liqueurs: raspberry, apple pie, blackberry, cherry. And, of course vodka: a regular and a pepper. As it was, the distillery was only 3 blocks away. There we could try all 6 of their products for $1. What a deal! I was very impressed with all of them. They were all very well crafted and had incredible flavor. We bought the raspberry liqueur and a pepper vodka. We used the liqueur in martinis and margaritas that afternoon, a real delight. We will be buying the other liqueurs in the future for cocktail use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
