| Try a bit of Crabbe's Ginger Cider wine with your Famous Grouse neat - it takes the bite off the first taste and doesn't mask the flavor of the uische baugh either. KBM

I am fascinated that a blend what in the UK is a common bar whiskey generates so much interest on this BBS. Putting a drop of anything other than water in whiskey (even Famous Grouse) shivers the Outer Hebridean portions of my bones... Last edited on Mon Jul 9th, 2007 07:18 pm by Don Kaas

I been out to the Hebridean Islands and the wind would shiver your bones with or without cider.

| Scotch whisky and green ginger wine is called a Whisky Mac. Equal proportions or a little more scotch. Ugh!

The Irish have a "neat " method. Drink Guinness and either Jamieson's or Black Bushmills-same time. In separate glasses. I have seen the local IRA types at the Widow Scanlon's indulge in this at Bodenstown and the rest of the Free State. At Ballycastle they drink black porter with Scotch and use old Scot doubles on ducks and geese.
I prefer Glenmorangie. It is finished in Port casks-and is not a blend. It is real Scotch and hard to get. Bill Samuels and my father-in -law went to Vanderbilt together in the 30s.
I still prefer Pappy Van Winkle. Try the 10 year Van Winkle and it will ruin you.
Tennessee ...what? Is that like a Kentucky Colonel....? Any Kentucky Colonels found after the late unpleasantness of the 1860s were either neutral or on the wrong side. At any rate Van Winkle or Wild Turkey are served as general anesthesia following a contest between Super Fox HEs and Smith Long Range Waterfowl antiaircraft artillery. Then the Parkers are brought out.

You have not heard from me before(other than a question or two about my parker 06/03/2005) but read the forum weekly and enjoy all of your postings-however, this topic aroused a reply-- I prefer when toasting after an outdoor event a shot of Tulamore Dew Irish whiskey-as smooth as Black Bush and flavor of Jamesons- now available in the states and distributed by Hiram Walker! Preference of locales :
1 After coming out of the swamp from duck hunting where the smells and aromas are rich!
2 In the field after a good bird hunt-same reason!
Otherwise my social drinking shifts to George Dickel-something the Tennessee gentlema(Destry rides again) should know about if he has ever been to Tullahoma, a good bottle of Pinot Noir, a snifter of cognac, perhaps Meukow, or in the hot summer the BEST --AMERICAN-- vodka-- SKY. Other than that I don't drink often!!

Colonel,
Julian Van Winkle has his bourbon made in Frankfort at the Buffalo Trace Distillery (Blanton's Distillery is on the property as well) and his 20 year old Pappy Van Winkle is very nice indeed as is the price at about $80.00 a fifth. The 22 year old goes for about $130.00. His granddaddy came up with the formula for Old Weller.
As far as Irish Whiskey, if lady folk stop by the farm they may have "Black Bush" or I may offer "Red Breast"!

| Harry, I would imagine that most cut their Old Weller with a bit of branch. A good tumbler of 107 proof would be considered a "snootful" by most casual drinkers. As we progress into discussion of "overproof", I have a story in mind, but I will wait until the proper time. Last edited on Tue Jul 10th, 2007 06:29 pm by Bill Murphy

| Apparently, there are no "casual drinkers" on this BBS so Old Weller should not be a problem! And Bill, you can moisten that tumbler until it just begins to overflow...

| Don, a serious imbiber never overflows a tumbler with whisky or whiskey, he "heaps it up" or "forms it into a mound".

Gentlemen,
Threads like this are the reason Parker Collectors are more fun that LC Smith Collectors.
Awhile back I made a casual comment about drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon beer on their BBS and it created such an uproar that even I was stunned.
Long live the PGCA.
Destry

| I too like "Grouse", and Scotch is good, but for me, the best sipping drink is Maker's Mark Bourbon. Simply the best you can get.

Colonel Marriott's post reminded me of this past St Patrick's day.
Trish and I went into Roberts a very small unincorporated town, and went to the local tavern, "The Lost Village Saloon". In honor of St Pat, I got to drinking "Irish Car Bombs" 1/2 glass of Guinness, with a shot glass of Bushmills and a shot glass of Bailey's dropped in, and when they hit bottom you chugged the whole mess!
From what I remember they were really a good drink! However, Trish drove home, and I don't remember seeing one snake, whish is unusuall, as the place is always full of them! Lon

Harry, you made reference to "Blanton's Distillery", so how does Blanton' s Single Barrel rate? My wife gave me a bottle a couple of years ago and it sits atop my bar. She bought it for the pewter horse, I don't think i'll ever drink it but at 107 proof (if my memory serves me correct) it ought to be good. I have thought about buying a bottle but my local Aunt Bertha's Country Store doesn't stock it.

By the way Destry, have you solidified your Irish gunning plans or will you be attending the Vintagers in September. I have pushed my Saskatchewan trip back a week to attend in anticipation of stirring up some trouble between you and Jeff and getting to watch a little wrestlemania, PGCA style. I love to watch big boys roll in the mud.

Derrick,
Blanton's and Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old are the best tasting bourbons I have ever the pleasure of. The problem is that I can't afford them on a regular basis. The bottle of Blanton's 15 feet from me is 93 proof. The bigger problem is that I would really like to have a wee gill about now, but need to generate a little more income for the week.

Harry,
Yes I can understand were your coming from. My wife said that bottle of Blanton's was $42.00 a bottle. I can't afford that on a regular basis myself. I will check my bottle tonite to confirn the proof. For some reason I thought it was 107 proof like Rare Breed Wild Turkey but I have been wrong before. I also have a gift set of Rare Breed Wild Turkey and it $40 + a fifth. It's really smooth too...
