Humor Title: Hilarious Bud Light commercial
Poster Comment: Their beers may suck,but they sure do come up with some good commercials.

No one ever got wiser drinking beer, it should be called BudDumber.
#2. To: BobCeleste (#1) No one ever got wiser drinking beer, I know. That's why my drink of preference was white whiskey,and store bought whiskey if I couldn't find any.

To: sneakypete (#2) Do you like Rye whiskey?
#4. To: Devil Anse (#3) Do you like Rye whiskey? I can't honestly say I ever drank any of it. I may have at one time or another,because once I was drunk I would drink anything with alcohol in it. My preference was always corn whiskey,though. There is nothing smoother.

To: sneakypete (#4) Scotch, is smoother.
#6. To: Biff Tannen (#5) Scotch, is smoother. No,it's not. At least not any of it I ever tried to drink. I've had corn whiskey so smooth I could pour it in my doberman's water dish,and she would drink it all without raising her head. She loved beer,but she would refuse to drink any other whiskey. She got drunk on it once and fell down the stairs and hurt her leg,and wouldn't drink it any more for a couple of weeks. Of course you had to be REAL careful to not piss her off after a water bowl of corn whiskey.

To: sneakypete (#6) Lol, ok i guess i'll try some. Recommend one?
#8. To: Biff Tannen (#7) Lol, ok i guess i'll try some. The best is not available in the stores. It usually comes in gallon milk jugs these days. There used to be a store-bought brand titled "Cobbs Creek" that was passable,though. I used to drink in when I was living out in Denver,and cut off from civilization. I did have some friends bring me several gallons fresh from the still in Georgia though,and it really opened the eyes of my Denver friends that had only heard government rumors about how it would make you go blind,and other nonsense. They all agreed it was the smoothest whiskey they had ever drank,and that they didn't even know straight whiskey could be that smooth. The problem is the taxes the government puts on it. You could make and sell some seriously good whiskey for 30 bucks a gallon retail back in the late 70's and make good money doing it,but if you wanted to sell it in the state stores and pay the state and feral taxes on it,you would have to sell it for more than 100 bucks a gallon to even come close to making the same profit per gallon. That's why whiskey store whiskey isn't that good. They have to make it at a level where people can afford to buy it,and the taxes make it hard to make and legally sell good whiskey. BTW,not all of it is good. Some really is as bad as the government rumors claim. My father made the money to buy his first new car,a 1952 Ford,by making and selling white whiskey he brewed in he attic of a house we were renting. Since he was never a drinker himself,and I had tried the wine he made later in life,it had to have been some gawdawful stuff. Still,in 1952 he was selling it for 50 cents a pint and making a hell of a profit.

To: sneakypete (#8) I'd like to taste some real good whiskey made by one of those expert moon shiners. Doubt I ever will though.
#10. To: Biff Tannen, sneakypete (#9)
It's worth the price of admission - at least once:) потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #11. To: sneakypete (#4) Back in the 1700s and 1800s rye was quite common and popular, corn came on later which are the bourbons. Bourbon whiskies are usually sweeter and sometimes smoother, rye is a little fruitier, sometimes spicier and usually drier. Since you said you liked white whiskey I figured you had come across some made the old fashioned way. Rye seems to be making a comeback and there are some good ones out there, you should try one sometime. Next time I go to Kentucky I plan on stopping at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, taking the tour and buying some of their White Dog Rye Mash Whiskey (125 proof).
#12. To: Devil Anse (#11) Bourbon whiskies are usually sweeter and sometimes smoother, rye is a little fruitier, sometimes spicier and usually drier. I've had corn whiskey that the distiller put peaches into and let them ferment to make it into peach brandy. That was some pretty tasty stuff. The guy that did this was at least a 4th generation bootlegger out of Georgia. Nobody in his family had ever held a regular job. This was back in the early 70's. I have no doubt they still live that way. I knew the grandsons because they had a cousin that was a friend of mine,and they came to visit him once and brought about 30 gallons of moonshine with them in the car trunk. After that they would sometimes come visit us to party and make a delivery,and sometimes we would drive to Ga to party and do a pick up. I lost contact with them all when I moved to Denver.

To: Devil Anse (#11) I used to be a rye drinker exclusively, except for vodkka of course, till i got into scotch. I just love the stuff. Mostly the peaty smoky stuff. It can be quite vile and yet very smooth as well. A real taste extravaganza! I scorned the popular stuff, like glenfiddich 12, but had a glass handed to me and as it was free i drank it down. I realized, strictly only for my taste, a cheap scotch is better than a good rye. I haven't been properly educated on bourbons so perhaps I'm missing a treat there. Then again, maybe I've only had crappy rye. So much testing left to do.
#14. To: Biff Tannen (#13) I used to drink Scotch at one time but haven't in the last 10 years or so, still have a 1/2 full bottle of Glenmorangie 18 in the cabinet. The only way to see if you like bourbon is to buy some and mix it with a few different things to see if you like it. Since it seems like you have somewhat the same tastes as I do try some Buffalo Trace or Evan Williams, since neither is that expensive, and see what happens. As far as the rye goes I've been drinking Bulliet or Knob Creek lately.
#15. To: Devil Anse (#14) Thanks, i'll check 'em out.
#16. To: Biff Tannen (#15) So have you tried any Bourbons yet?
#17. To: Devil Anse (#16) I'm on the hunt. I've very limited selection where I live so it's kind of self limiting. I've pretty much decided on Buffalo Trace, and I went to grab a bottle on Sunday and they didn't have any, god dammit! I was heading to a different town today, where I would get some! And the appointment was cancelled! Soon.
#18. To: Biff Tannen (#17) Sounds like you live out in the boonies. You can do your shopping on line if you want, that would greatly broaden your horizons. A friend of mine buys all his alcoholic beverages online, says it's much cheaper.
#19. To: Devil Anse (#18) Yup, in the boonies. There's a great scotch auction site I'd love to use. No shipping to North America tho :( Anyways, I'm in town now and on my way :) I'll savour a few ounces and let you know what I think.
#20. To: Devil Anse (#18) A friend of mine buys all his alcoholic beverages online, says it's much cheaper. Really? I would certainly like to see proof of that. потому что Бог хочет это тот путь #21. To: Devil Anse (#18) Evan Williams Single Barrel Bourbon
#22. To: Devil Anse (#18) (Edited) They didn't have the Buffalo Trace, but they had two bottles left of the Evan Williams single cask. Reviews said it had some smoke, which I like, so I got that. Pretty good actually. I think it'd be a great drink during a heat wave during a hot summer. Meanwhile, I'm giving it a good taste test nightly, during the winter. Very smooth. Never did smell or taste smoke though. I might be spoiled by the Laphroaig anyway. Thanks for the recommend.
#23. To: Biff Tannen (#22) They didn't have the Buffalo Trace I only live about 150 miles from the distillery and liquor stores just started carrying it around my house in the last year so that doesn't surprise me. I found out about it from a friend who goes hunting every fall in Tennessee and would always bring a case or so back with him. Buffalo Trace also makes what they call Bourbon cream which is just like Irish Cream except made with bourbon. Problem is you can only get it in Kentucky as far as I know but it is good. I have to hide it from the women or otherwise it would be gone in an hour or so.
#24. To: Biff Tannen (#22) Never did smell or taste smoke though. I might be spoiled by the Laphroaig anyway. I got to thinking some Tequilas have a smoky flavor like Corralejo.
#25. To: Devil Anse (#24) Smoky tequila eh, I'd give that a go! Smoke adds such good flavor to things.
#26. To: Biff Tannen (#25) (Edited) Quite a few Tequilas are aged in used Bourbon barrels, most Reposada's and Anejo's. The one peculiar thing is that Anejos are aged in twice used barrels, the first time for a whiskey and the 2nd for a Reposada Tequila. Used Jack Daniels barrels are especially popular for aging Tequilas. Me personally I don't care for Jack but do like dark Tequilas, go figure. The way I see it is the darker the color the better the flavor which is true for most alcohols. With that being said try an Anejo first. And something else that might surprise you is the darker Tequilas usually go good with Coke, just like most Bourbons.
FYI I usually drink Don Eduardo Anejo if I'm just sipping, and something like a decent Reposada if I'm doing Margaritas. (I like blondes but not blonde tequilas). :) Oh before I forget stay away from the Mescals, rotgut.
#27. To: Biff Tannen (#25) Oh by the way I'm sipping on some Elijah Craig 12 yr old small batch bourbon for the first time, not bad at all and reasonable priced. About $23 per 1/5th. A very good small batch bourbon is Knob Creek. Also tried some 4 Roses bourbon for the first time a couple of weeks ago, it could be Wild Turkeys twin brother tastes very similar.
#28. To: Devil Anse (#26) I usually drink Don Eduardo Anejo if I'm just sipping, Can I come raid your "likker" cabinet? :) “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.†Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest |
