Cranking Down some New Bourbon

I'm a Glenmorangie man myself. I have a bottle of this, http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1 ... Googlebase, that my ex had to replace as part of our divorce waiting for a special occasion.

And yes, it's locked up.

Then there's beer. Since I have to live on a teacher's salary, I usually will splurge on Baltica 6 for my regular drinking (though all the Baltica's I've tried are yummy).

If anyone wamts to kill themselves by drinking carb cleaner, but aren't sure if you can keep it down, or you aren't sure what drinking death tastes like, what yopu can do is try Laphroaig.

It's the exact Same shit, but cleverly marketed as "isley single malt." The upside is Laphroaig won't kill you. The down side is you just drank some.

In my liquor cabinet waiting for the next knob head thhat comes over and babbkles on about how much he loves single malt.

Try this

Oh my.

How do you decide to open that?! I'm sure it's not a whim thing, like 'Hey, let's try that Glen shit in the cabinet!'. Do you have to go through a process of justification? Is there a checklist of criteria that needs to be met before the cork goes "pop"?

Does the Glenmorangie taunt you? Do the other lesser bottles egg you on with peer pressure?

Have been looking for an excuse to buy a bottle of Bulleit. I keep forgetting it's cold out (relatively) now, so I can drink whiskey again....

My favorite drinkin' whiskey is Tullamore Dew. I've liked the other Irish whiskeys I've tried, but I can't remember any of them. Because they were that good.

Have tried Knob Creek. Can't remember it.

I have enjoyed scotch, though I couldn't tell you which makers I liked.

Recently I've been drinking a lot of gin. Mmmmm, pine! I like beefeater, and I've got a bottle of Brokers right now that I like pretty well. Tanqueray was not for me.

Last year I had a bottle of Pyrat rum, which was so good I never bothered mixing it with other stuff. Haven't seen it at the liquor store recently, so I haven't gotten any more.

Fuck that. Gin tastes exactly like getting raped in the face by a pine cone.

Try bleach, that shit tastes better.

Fine, then gimme your gin. Love it. There's always been Tanqueray in our fridge.

Shit, Magnus, you and I seem to have polar opposite tastes.

Give me gin, any day, any temperature, soda, tonic, or straight and I'm a happy drinking Jonny.

Beefeater and Gordons are what I prefer (nice and dry), Tanqueray is alright (mind you, Tanqueray No. 10 is something different altogether, being made with fresh botanicals. Try a No. 10 G&T with no garnish: classic gin flavours with a bit of a kick and loaded with citrus.), but I don't like Bombay. Too over the the top botanical-wise.

Mag, you've obviously had some pretty fine bleach.

Jonny, magnus was dropped on his head for sport, which is why he fits in so well here, but that doesn't mean he has his own other "issues". magnus is just dum when it comes to gin. Dum.

Like I said, mate, you're no idiot. Neither's Smash, ahd he likes the genévrier too.

My gin recipe--all else suffer:

Remove gin from fridge, pour into any clean glass. (note: no kids sippy cups)

Set bottle of vermouth next to glass o' gin.

Remove cap from vermouth bottle.

After 13 seconds replace cap.

Put vermouth back where it belongs in cabinet with the Beta tapes, floppy disks and Y2K survival kit.

Slap wife smartly on ass, .

Enjoy gin.

Talk shit about Magnus

smashinator · Post by **smashinator** » Thu Dec 17, 2009 10:18 am

Whoa, you take the cap off the vermouth? Doesn't that get overpowering? I usually leave it in the cabinet, stand across the room from the glass of gin and wave my hands around saying "and a hint of vermouth."

Lately I've been digging gimlets. Fends off scurvy, you know.

Yep. This is my favorite. It has a wonderful bouquet and a tangy finish.

This will do in a pinch, it is the closest thing that I can find to the natural 'outdoor' feel of previously stated, gin related, pine cone assault.

BASTARD! I laughed so hard, my daughter almost woke up from her nap!

I've mostly made Tom Collins', but it got too sweet for me. The first G&T I made was with Tanqueray, but had fallen out of favor with the flavor of the Tanq. Probably ruined it for me, as I haven't had a G&T since... until a week ago, with Beefeater.

Ah, that's nice. Prevents Malaria, no less!

Well, if I can get the days off (or am unemployed) to make it to Ragnarok, I'll bring my cache of mighty fine Scotch, and some mighty fine Gin. I rarely drink anymore, but just to take the edge off. I gave up on public drunkeness, a long while back.

Magnus - you don't get any gin.

Zero-I like your receipe, but I don't have a wife. You're my hero when it comes to martunis. When you come to Ragnarok, can you pick up one of those foot-long Sugar Pine cones from near the Angeles Crest highway?

We can have an intense, facial-assault group session with Magnus...

My method resembles Smashinator's-I have a bottle of sweet vermouth that I STORE next to my gin in the cupboard (I've never cracked the seal on it). As of late, I've been finishing up my bottle of Beefeaters with a spash of green olive juice, over the rocks; or I go with a sugar-free tonic water. I've become a Bombay convert. If Sapphire is too much fruity/sweet for you, then plain old Bombay is good. That said, I won't turn down Tanqueray...
We must endeavor to prevent the onset of malaria at ALL costs! Who's with me?!?

What's alll this malaria and scurvy hand-wringing? Man up, ladies. That's what shotguns are for.

You guys can keep your goddamn gin. Fa-La-La-La-La La-La-La LA!

Whisky hangover 'worse than vodka, a study suggests'

However, the overall performance at the concentration task was roughly the same between the two groups.
Professor Damaris Rohsenow, who led the research at Brown University in Rhode Island, said: "While people felt worse, they didn't perform worse after bourbon (a type of whisky made in the US) than after vodka."

hic.

A better article

Participants consumed either vodka or bourbon mixed with caffeine-free cola on one night, until until they had drunk about the minimum amount required to induce a hangover, the researchers say.

No wonder... they ruined it with cola!

A friend decided that it was time to quit after he downed a bottle of 30 year old Laphroaig in a weekend. It wasn't the volume that really bothered him though; it was the fact he drank about $450.00 in three days.

Huge rye fan here. There's a bottle of Stranahan's sitting next to the Old Overholt, and the Overholt is replaced regularly, while the Stranahan's just gathers dust. The Wild Turkey Rye is good too; and just as cheap.

I have no idea what peat moss tastes like. Is there some recipe for peat moss that I've been missing? Do you buy sphagnum in the health food section of the grocery store?

Sphagnum. That's fun to say. Sphagnum sphagnum sphagnum.
