re: OS Fine Spirits Appreciation Thread

I have same problem. You can get one drink out of 3 stones. Since it comes with 6. I leave all 6 in freezer, make a drink with 3 stones, when finished there, rinse those 3 and put the other 3 stones in new drink. Then put the first 3 back in freezer to get cold by next drink. It sounds like a ton of work but honestly is no different than opening freezer and grabbing a couple ice cubes, only difference is rinsing them off.

Now with that said, if I know I'm going to be "drinking" and getting really deep into a fifth then I just use ice from the start. If I am just having a couple drinks I use the stones.

I see you 3 drinks in walking half way to the freezer and stopping to tell your whiskey rocks that you deeply love them and want to kiss them.

Oh I still only drink all my whisky on the rocks

By the way, where the hell you been?

I've been around, we just don't have meebo anymore to shoot the breeze.

So it has recently come to my attention that craft distilleries are popping up, and there is even one in Texas of interest.



Supposedly tastes like liquid BBQ



Going to have to scrounge up my meager dollars an look into digging these up.

Also of interest

Yea it is kind of a bummer we can't shoot the breeze on meebo any more.

That Pumpkin moonshine at first glance I was like "how can they sell this??" Then I saw it is 85 proof.

I believe they're getting away with the word "Moonshine" because it's simply an unaged white whiskey. Micro distillery in Tennessee called Ole Smokey only sells "moonshine."

I can get the real stuff for $20 a milk gallon jug.

Has anyone tried to Maple Crowne Royal yet? I was given a bottle last night - didn't get to try it, though.

Finished up my bottle of Maker's 46, last night..

Now I'll have to pick something else up. I love a cold glass on the rocks.

Headed down to the Global Beverage Warehouse tomorrow to grab my bottle of Blanton's bourbon. Only place "local" (as in within 30 minutes) that had it. Oh well, that place has an unreal selection of whisky, so i'm sure i'll walk out of there with something else as well.

Might try some of the Forty Creek posted earlier in the thread. I'm occasionally in the mood for a more mild and easygoing whiskey, so that would fit the bill once my bottle of Basil Hayden runs dry.

Finally trying it.

Pretty damn good. Better than expected - I assumed it'd be overly sweet, but its just got a nice flavor to it. It'll be a perfect "dessert" drink for me.

I'm not a drinker by any chance of the word but I tried this -- Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon Moonshine and it's amazing. The strawberry and apple pie is just great.

Next time I'm down in Florida, I'm making a detour to bring you some real 'shine.

OMG, just found out there is a restaurant in Dallas called Whiskey Cake. Must make a visit there...lots of visits...

re: OS Fine Spirits Appreciation Thread

Tried this over the holiday weekend, I don't think I had ever had a 100% rye whiskey before. It was good though, picked up a bottle to add some diversity to my shelf. 100 proof, get ready! lol

If you want more diversity, pick up a bottle of Bernheim Wheat whiskey, it's pretty good and different
