What are you drinking tonight, Summer '08

[ILLfarmboy]

WT and water. It was a very hot day!

[Gillman]

A fresh Anchor Steam Beer, excellent, an icon.

Last night Russell's Reserve at Flemings. Glass of "The Prisoner" wine, too.

Bulleit for a night cap. No worky today.

Tonight, a Herradura Anejo margarita with bbq'd pork tenderloin and corn on the cob.

A fresh Anchor Steam Beer, excellent, an icon.

I don't drink icons. They get stuck in my throat.

[chilidawg7]

OGD 114, then Weller Centennial, and last but not least, 4R Single Barrel

[fishnbowljoe]

OF Signature 100. Another bottle bites the dust. Joe

[Rake]

Handy '06. And then some Handy '07 for good measure.

Don't make me choose. I'm glad to have both.

[cigarnv]

A nice pour of Old Charter 13, thanks Philsfan!! Why do they discontinue bourbon like this??

[HighTower]

A pour of EC 18, followed by Buffalo trace.

Inspired by another thread, tonight I came home looking for an Old Fashioned recipe that I would have the ingredients to make. And I found one and made it. I have never had an Old Fashioned that I really enjoyed, but this one is delicious.

Orange peel, sugar, and Angostura bitters (8 dashes !!) muddled in a glass. Three ounces whiskey (I used Wild Turkey 101 bourbon, the recipe called for Sazerac rye). Ice cubes. That's all. I am drinking it, right now. As I said, it is delicious. :yum:

Tim

PS - The flavor is very dark and spicy. This would be a perfect winter drink.

[smokinjoe]

Tim, I'm having another one of your gin rickey's. These hit the spot on these hot Georgia afternoons. Next up.....whatever bourbon they have at the restaurant we're off to.

Cheers!

Scott, with all those great craft beers to choose from in Oregon, I'm surprised you even noticed my post!

Gary

[Gillman]

Small tastes of a variety of whiskeys: a bourbon blend I made with a touch of vintage port (superb on the rocks); Wiser's Very Old (excellent indeed as mentioned in other threads); and another blend I did of CC, CC Sherry Cask and the sherry-forward Three Grain from Kittling Ridge. Life is good, but smoggy and hot in the GTA at the moment.

Starting with ORVW 10/107.....killed off the bottle, Great pour!

[PhilsFan]

I bought my first bottle of Pappy 15 almost 3 weeks ago, before I went on vacation...saved opening it until now. It was definitely worth the wait and is an instant favorite.

A Manhattan that I made with WT101. It tastes almost exactly like the ones I was drinking in NY on the 4th (I used 101 instead of 80 (all they had)) and almost nothing like the ones I get around here (which I've sort of grown to like). Normally I would only drink these out but my brother is in Spain and thats who I usually go to the bar with so I stayed in.

[chilidawg7]

going a different route tonight.

Margarita with my favorite tequila (Sauza Tres Generaciones Anejo) and Cointreau.

Mmm...

[callmeox]

I went to install a wireless router and do some general computer maintenance for my nephew and I took some Evan Williams Black and a 2L of Coke Zero. Over ice, it really hit the spot in his insanely hot house (no A/C, poor kid).

[HighTower]

[camduncan]

Too true Scott, a FANTASTIC afternoon of great company, great food, and some awesome bourbons :D:D

[cigarnv]

A few ounces of ORVW 15 from a single barrel offering..... simply one of my favorites...

[SBOmarc]

Well, my life took a very unexpected turn yesterday. I was fired, with no reason ( his exact words ). So last night was a flight of the GTS, Fall '05, '06, and '07.

Life is good!

I am sorry to hear that. Times are tough all over. It could happen to most any of us.
