A friend of my wife’s gave us this. I hadn’t had it in decades. I remember when I was younger I didn’t care for it because I thought it tasted like charcoal. Since my wife won’t touch it I had a couple shots last week with a Guinness. To my surprise it was very smooth and went excellent with Guinness, so I am having it again this week while watching the debate. BTW, I am PUMPED for the debate tonight! Can’t tell you how excited I am just to have something to do on my day off! Nothing fun is ever going on on a Tuesday night. It’s about time! |

@00slim personally I prefer crown royal, but a free half gallon is always welcome! At my rate of consumption I will probably be drinking Jack Daniels well into next year. 🥃 | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by michaelekrupp For my more routine whiskey, lately I’ve been drinking the Costco (Kirkland) brand scotch. Nothing fancy. I like to have Maker’s Mark & Bulleit Rye around for when I make an Old Fashion, or I feel like switching it up. I keep a bottle of 18 year old Jameson on-hand for special occasions. The last bottle lasted 3-4 years. |

@00slim or others, Please educate me on Rye. I've been tempted but I've never bought a bottle. Does the taste have anything in common with Rye bread? I make a passable Old Fashion, what would be the purpose of using Rye instead of Whisky? I heard somewhere that good ol boys drink both whisky and rye (and sing) on the day they think they are going to die. I should be prepared for that at least. Seriously though, I'm wondering if Rye is something I should check out. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by EbaySeller Not a Rye drinker myself, but here’s a description of the taste from Wikipedia... Rye grain is known for imparting what many call a spicy or fruity flavor to the whiskey. Bourbon, distilled from at least 51% corn, is noticeably sweeter and tends to be more full-bodied than rye. As bourbon gained popularity beyond the southern United States, bartenders increasingly substituted it for rye in cocktails such as the whiskey sour, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned, which were originally made with rye. All other things being equal, the character of the cocktail will be drier (i.e., less sweet) with rye. Don MacLean probably deserves attribution for good old boys drinking whiskey and rye as that’s a passage from his top hit American Pie. AMERICAN PIE lyrics A long long time ago I can still remember how That music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the music died So Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Did you write the book of love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so? Do you believe in rock and roll? Can music save your mortal soul? And can you teach me how to dance real slow? Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck The day the music died I started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Now, for ten years we've been on our own And moss grows fat on a rolling stone But, that's not how it used to be When the jester sang for the king and queen In a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me Oh and while the king was looking down The jester stole his thorny crown The courtroom was adjourned No verdict was returned And while Lennon read a book on Marx The quartet practiced in the park And we sang dirges in the dark The day the music died We were singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Helter skelter in a summer swelter The birds flew off with a fallout shelter Eight miles high and falling fast It landed foul on the grass The players tried for a forward pass With the jester on the sidelines in a cast Now the half-time air was sweet perfume While sergeants played a marching tune We all got up to dance Oh, but we never got the chance 'Cause the players tried to take the field The marching band refused to yield Do you recall what was revealed The day the music died? We started singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye And singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Oh, and there we were all in one place A generation lost in space With no time left to start again So come on Jack be nimble, Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick 'Cause fire is the devil's only friend Oh and as I watched him on the stage My hands were clenched in fists of rage No angel born in Hell Could break that Satan's spell And as the flames climbed high into the night To light the sacrificial rite I saw Satan laughing with delight The day the music died He was singin' Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singing Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die They were singing Bye, bye Miss American Pie Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die Songwriters: Don McLean American Pie, Pt. 1 lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group |

It seems almost disrespectful to not give Don McLean’s wry classic full flight, so... |

Quote:Originally Posted by GAC That was my point (there may be fans of the Big Bopper here too). I should probably add that Don McLean’s reverence for Buddy Holly sends a mixed message about loss and change that transcends it’s half century old homage to early rock ‘n roll. On several levels his song is an uncomfortable reminder of the state of chaos and rage within our diverse ever-changing culture. In many ways his anthem to American nostalgia seems more prescient today than ever. As successful as he was, Don McClean could never quite find the right medium to present his music. American Pie was a huge international pop hit, but McClean was stuck stylistically between a country style and folk songs with a much deeper philosophical messaging. His other major hit, Vincent, spoke to the tragedy surrounding Vincent Van Gogh’s creativity, not the stuff of 70’s country music. Apologies for veering slightly off the thread topic. ...Alas, this occasionally happens when alcohol is involved. My next beverage will be a ridiculously strong vanilla porter that never fails to kick my arse. Be afraid! . |

Garbage margarita mix plus garbage tequila plus a lemon drop pepper from the garden equals a bad Saturday. Add some fajitas for good measure. |

One of my favorite beers from ‘21st Amendment’. More of a Summer beer, since it’s smooth & crisp. But still tasty. Plus, 7% ABV. |
