And if you haven’t tried Skrewball peanut butter whiskey, you’re missing out. We sell a ton of it. Is it good, really? Have seen it on the shelf and haven't thought to try. As a guy that likes a good Old-Fashioned or Manhattan (if made correctly) I still like good whisk(e)y neat. Always willing to try something if the taste is good though.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like I might be your understudy? I love tasting things. Damned near anything. But when it comes to buying 750ml or 22/48/56/72oz of something to enjoy at home, I'm a little more cautious. I haven't even been able to make myself pull the trigger on a $27 bottle of cold brew-infused Jameson. But that will probably change soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stolen X is sold in 100ml mini cans btw if you don’t want to spring for a big bottle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This dude actually makes all kinds of bourbon infusions, like banana.) Maybe I'll try that instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a few coffee rums that have been pretty good too. Bacoo and Kraken both make one. https://www.standardproofwhiskey.com/rye 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,379 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Our Elijah Craig 9 and 14 year old staff picks FINALLY came in. The 14 year is choice. Haven’t had the 9 yet. $31.99 for either is a steal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty green in the bourbon game, so I probably wouldn’t be the best to critique one. Cheers and welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,675 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I made clear ice again. It’s a novelty, but damn if it doesn’t make that bourbon taste better than “regular” ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLoofus 35,182 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 McWifey had flowers delivered to the doorsteps of all the neighbors on our little cul de sac. One of the neighbors responded with a gift of some artisanal, organic whatever vodka. Threw it in the freezer and will try sipping some neat tonight. Normally I wouldn't throw spirits in the freezer but seemed appropriate for vodka? What do y'all think? What do you do with nice vodka? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are a few of us who are into quality libations in general. There's a lot of overlap in the bourbon (whiskey/whisky) and beer threads. A few of these guys are true aficionados. I'm just here for the party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicer vodka gets club soda or dirty martini treatment from me. Mid-shelf vodka gets grapefruit juice or thrown in a bloody. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
