Its a long weekend here in Ontario Canada and I've taken a few extra days vacation from work. I'm in my backyard listening to some music and indulging in a few vanilla whiskey highballs and surfing comic related sites. What about you? Whats your unwinding method and beverage of choice? ![]() ![]() |

Nothing tonight, but last night it was Texas Hold’em poker with Bacardi Spiced Rum and diet coke. It used to be called Bacardi Oakheart…just the name changed. | ||

@Sebastsk8 congrats! Our second was born last November. I wasn’t planning to drink but today was first day of some “time off” and ended up working 4 hrs, cutting the lawn, discovering some small leak with dishwasher (very small, slow leak) caused some hardwood to buckle, unclogged a plugged AC drain pipe that caused some water in part of basement (unfinished area, thankfully) and then cleaned out my wet / dry vac outside to suck up the water. So I am now having a Jack and Coke, NYC style (all Jack, splash of coke) |

Tried a couple new beverages when I went out over the weekend, a Godfather and an Italian Margarita. At home, finished Balvenie 14 Yr Caribbean Cask. Yummy! Just opened the Woodford Reserve. Hints of citrus and vanilla. | ||

I'm old fashioned, but my drinking habits lean to ales and stouts. Here I'm raising a Chief Justice Stout from several night's ago. Tonight I'm imbibing a Black Butte Porter... ![]() ![]() ![]() There are enough images of me roaming around on-line, ...this is about the beer! ![]() . |

Quote:Originally Posted by tonnage71 Just finished my Old Fashioned, came in a cocktail set from Costco bottled by "On The Rocks". I refilled the empty glass bottle with one part Old-Fashion pre-mix and 5 parts Bullit Rye. So it's back in the refrigerator ready for future drinking. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave Oof. As a purist, IMO it's a sin to drink single malts in any way other than neat or with a splash of spring water. My friend once mixed Macallan 12 with Coca-Cola. I never offered him scotch ever again. |

McCallan is in the decanter right now. But, I experiment with different single malts trying to find ones I like (I've found 5 or 6 I absolutely love as of now, and I know I do NOT like the smoky/peaty ones). Not sure what's next, will depend on what I find when I go to buy a new bottle, I usually go back and forth from ones I know I like to new ones, so a new one should be next. I also enjoy a good old-fashioned, with Bulleit Bourbon. But, technically, right now I'm drinking coffee ![]() |

Quote:Originally Posted by xvipah As far as non-Islay/Island brands go, have you tried Glenmorangie and their assorted finished cask range? Lasanta, Quinta Ruban, and Nectar d'Or are all finished 2 years in different wine casks. Sherry, port, and sauternes respectively IIRC. Glenmorangie also has a $200 bottle titled Signet, which is one of my absolute favorites, but I have not had it in a long time. The Macallan 18 was cheaper the last time that I bought it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by theCapraAegagrus I have had Glenmorangie itself, like the 15 I think. Never tried the different cask styles though. I'll look and see what they have here. Not sure on pricing now, the Macallan 18 is $250'ish or so, I'll see if they have that Signet anywhere here, worth a shot. One of my favorites right now is The Balvenie 14 in the Caribbean Cask (Rum cask) it tastes like honey, so, so good. The closest I can get to a peaty scotch is The Dalwhinnie. I like it a lot, but it's right on my tolerance for "smokiness". I use a whiskey bullet and then splash some water in usually. Once in a while I'll do "on the rocks" cause I like to sit outside and, here in Florida, it gets so hot that the bullet doesn't work so well to keep it chilled, but melting ice does. |
