For me, when I think of "thick crap", it's usually a more polite way of describing conversations at the gazebo or the west wing at the GN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's another one of those "whatever works for you" things. Yes in my experience it mutes the flavors. However sometimes a chilled whiskey can also hit the spot. Maybe an ice cube can accomplish the same thing, I don't know. I don't usually like my whiskey watered down though. I think 6 year age stated FC can be reserved for regular duty, and a "simpler" whiskey (whatever that means) can be used for freezer duty. Any recommendations anyone? Maybe WSR or MM maybe? I'm thinking a simpler tasting pour would be better suited. Not sure however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedelstaedt Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 4R PS OBSV. Hail to the Cult. What a day in college football & MLB playoffs. A few upsets in football & some excellent baseball games. The Astros' Cole was absolutely dealing tonight. He is the real deal (hard for a Rangers fan to say, I'll tell ya). Anyway, Houston you better pass the hat if you want to keep him.

I tip my hat to you sir. To all of you lurking 'taters out there, this is what our hobby is about: ENJOYING a Bourbon, not only collecting bottles or profiting off a bottle. Ok, I'm off my soap box.

I guess it's another one of those "whatever works for you" things. For me, whatever I'm am consuming, (food or beverage) if it is really cold, my taste buds don't pick up all of the flavor available. For that reason, I try to enjoy foods/beverages at or near room temperature when possible. The exceptions being Diet Coke, Beer & Iced Tea (the colder the better. I know , I'm a weird duck. Deal with it, :-)) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seashore while listing to my Golden Gophers beat Purdue to improve to 4 - 0. I'm really liking these EC store picks. This one was from Third Base Market. Oh wow, @fosmith, what a great place to be drinking some EC! I absolutely love Tomales Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clueby Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Having some W12 tonight. Trying to get a pour or two from this bottle before the wife polishes it off! Grabbed a low fill level Willett 3 year rye as well for the next pour. Will try to kill it to make some room. Going from one end of the spectrum (decently aged wheater) to the other (young rye whiskey). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's another one of those "whatever works for you" things. Does it mute some flavors? Yes. But, I find it heightens others. Some work, some don't. For the ones that do work, it's not that I think the freezer makes them better. It's that it's a different experience that I really enjoy for what it is on a hot day when some thick ice cold syrupy whiskey goodness really hits the spot firmly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshall9779 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 My old baseball superstition got the best of me tonight. Had a pour of this the other day when the Nats won the wildcard game. Hoping it helps tonight. At least they put one on the board first inning.Well it definitely didn’t work last night. Had the same again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
