The Crown peach is sweeter and smoother... it's a non-whiskey-drinker whiskey.

No need to be a butthead.

Well I'm not a whiskey drinker, so that might be why I like it. Honestly, I've never appreciated even the "best" scotch/bourbon/whiskey, I don't even like tequila, so I was surprised that I like this this flavored stuff. Probably because it's flavored..

I don't consider myself one, either. I'll enjoy an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour, and I've experimented a little with bourbon. I have a bottle of Elijah Craig that's incredibly smooth at 47%, which is a great noob bourbon.

I tried the Jim Beam peach and it has a harshness that ruins it for me, but I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to that.

"Harsh" is pretty-much how I've always described bourbon or scotch. I guess I'm a wuss that way too. As for tequila, I've always wondered what made the person who invented it decide to bottle it instead of try something new. And grappa is even worse... It's just terrible. It was a "qualification drink" on my submarine back when hazing was legal.

I've never tried good tequila, just the cheap stuff that you throw into a margarita... but, I've wondered if it's like the difference between a typical whiskey and Elijah Craig, or maybe it all sucks. :shrug:

I've tried some spendy tequila, I found that it just made the margarita I ended up putting it in an expensive margarita. That seemed nicer that pouring it into a potted plant and possibly killing the plant.

Peach schnapps is delicious

I'd rather pour some Jim Beam in some hot women's fuzzy peach and lick it out. :p

Just for Bearcat......I bet you want to kiss me just to taste the essence. ROFL

What to do with high end tequila. LMAO :D

Neighbor gifted us some Crown Peach because we rented the lawn vacuum last weekend and we did their yard too (and some others).

Pretty darn tasty...

If nothing else, the bag is epic...

Back in my HS days around 30 years ago I got hammered on peach brandy. Puked up a piece of gum I swallowed in 1st grade.

Cant drink peach flavored liquor or much of anything else to this day.

If he wouldn't I might.

That may be why I can't do tequila.

Very solid meh. Just a random pickup today and while I don't dislike it I won't buy it again. At least it's 5.6

Yeah I hate Sam Adams

The OG Sam Adams is alright. I actually like it every once in a great while, this is just like Blue Moon with extra shit thrown in it. But for $9/6 pack I knew it wasn't anything special.

Every true man has one alcohol that is your demon seed.

Mine is Sambucca. Jack Daniels a close second.

Sam Adams is an acquired taste for sure. One of the most bitter tasting beers I've had in my life but I'm OK with it. People usually love it or hate it.

I mean... can I? (no homo) (nttawwt)


How did you like it? (the beer, not the offer to kiss)

Woodford and Coke Zero for me tonight

I very nearly did the exact same thing this evening. Went for Vanilla Crown and Coke Zero instead. :toast:

Nice

I’m not a big crown fan but I’ve never tried the vanilla

It's the only crown I really like. Woodford is good stuff.

It mixes dangerously well.... I hardly ever drink pop, but Crown Royal Vanilla and root beer is quite delicious.

That sounds good. I'll give it a try sometime. Thanks for the tip!

Woodford is my go to bourbon

It’s generic but I like it

In my home town (small town) liquor store, they always have 2 bottles of Woodford on the shelf. Makes me think I am the only one that drinks it here. They replace the bottle I take, and those 2 stay there untll I need a fresh one. I'm okay with that, as long as they keep it on hand.

I really like it

The double Oaked is great too have you had it

Long day at the office?

No I have not. The local store only carries Woodford Reserve. I never really think about buying bourbon when I am out and about in places that I could probably find better quality. I was in KC this weekend, but never hit a liquor store.

The woodford reserve double oaked is really damn good imo. If you come across it pick up a bottle

Every day is a long day right now

Will do! Thanks!

I'm having a week from hell but I will refrain from drinking during the week like always (too many empty calories for this old body).

This getting old sucks.

I've cut back not going to lie it feels good. Evan William's Single Barrell has became my go to.

You're a dentist. There's no excuse to be drinking when you have ready access to nitrous. ROFL

This is true.

ANd still yet.

Got a KC strip gonna have a few Wild Turkeys while I sit back and watch tonight's game. Should be a good one.

Was not impressed by last Rare Breed I had.

My boss just scored two new bottles. Not sure how he does it, but he's pretty happy.

https://scontent.fmkc1-1.fna.fbcdn.n...e9&oe=5FD4E819

Brother in law and I are having some Barrell rum and Coke’s

The guy at the liquor store the other week highly recommend it to me. Let me know what ya think.

Michter's 10 is great. And hard to find. You can flip those bottles for a pretty penny on the secondary market.

Well I feel like a ****ing dumbass there was a shelf full of them a few weeks ago

He's in Tampa, so that won't be any time soon. Ugh. But at $400 a bottle and me not being a fan of nonflavored bourbon, I'm not sure I'd want to waste a drop of it.

Because of how hard they are to get, he won't sell them. For him it's a special occasion drink, and I totally get it.

The 10 year?

Probably just their standard offering.

You won't find a shelf full of their 10 year anywhere.

Not that I've had either, nor am I sure I'd really "like" it, but I wonder how much "better" the 10 year is over their regular? Have you had both?

Never had the 10 year. Seems like an excessive price for a 10 year but that’s currently the bourbon world. It’s almost all over priced.

Well I'm new to appreciating bourbon (that means I'm no longer killing it with Diet Coke), but I'm not sure Jim Beam Peach gets me into any bourbon drinker's inner circle.

I've now tried the Jim Beam Apple and, meh, it's not as good as the peach. I also got a bottle of the Crown Peach, and y'all were right, it's VERY sweet!

Oh well, good times, And I still have my Vodka and Costco Garlic/Jalapeno-stuffed olives to fall back on if this peach stage passes..

Not a bourbon fan. Love Scotch and Irish whiskey but can't stomach bourbon. Not sure why? What would you guys say you enjoy about bourbon.

"Peach" :thumb:

Big fan of it not tasting like scotch.

This. Bourbon all day over scotch.

Just preference.

You might not like real bourbon or whiskey. That’s ok. Nothing about those fruit whiskeys is like a good bourbon/whiskey.

A variety of notes with hints of sweetness. Aging can bring on all different tasting notes. I don’t care for scotch and Peaty notes.

Okay, that actually makes sense.

As a bourbon noob and not so much picking up on the subtleties, it's the barrel and sweetness for me. I can mix it with all sorts of things to add a little of both, and have also been drinking some Elijah Craig lately that's freakin' smooth and doesn't need anything added.

I have a bottle of Macallan 10 and just can't get into it... it's also very smooth, which I can appreciate, but just don't care for the flavor of it straight and haven't even found a good mix for it (not that I've tried much).

I'm a scotch guy myself, but i love bourbon too.

I have a 25 year macallan that I procured through a golf tourney that I'm waiting for a Chiefs back to back SB win to pop.

I had a sweet bottle of Pappy's but ****ing OTWP 58 has nine damn lives.

Don't you mix that macallan, You drink it on the rocks with a small splash of water or neat you bastard.

Heh, I figured someone would find that sacrilegious. o:-)

I'm keeping it around, figured one day I might gain more of an appreciation for it.

People keep talking about "sweetness" in their bourbon. Honestly, that might be the issue for me. For example, I don't really like wine unless it's REALLY dry.

Have you tried any rye bourbon? I’m not a fan but it’s more heat than sweet

Ironically, I have not even though Templeton is made here in Iowa.

Standard

Tried a couple of Bourbons at Fox Cigar Bar and Lounge last week and they just were too harsh for me. Elijah Craig and Buffalo Trace. Tried them neat.

I guess I'll always be a scotch guy, Oban 14 being my go to. :thumb:

They’re a bit too hot for me but a lot of people like them

The angels envy rye is not bad if you have a chance

The explosion of craft bourbons, and more recently of high barrel proof bourbon, has made the experience of trying new bourbons much more interesting. I have traditionally been a big scotch fan (Lagavullin Distillers edition and Macallan 18 year being my favorite), but more recently have dug into the craft bourbon world. If you like wine barrel finishes, Dave Phinney's Savage & Cooke produces some really interesting selections. For high proof, two recent favorites are from Woodinville and the single barrel selection at Peerless.

For scotch fans, you might have fun expanding your horizons to look at Swedish and Indian whisky. From India, Amrut and Paul John are making some great single malts. In Sweden, Mackmyra, Spirit of Hven and Box are also making great whisky. The style of most of these is similar to lowland scotch so a bit lighter for those who aren't into the big peaty scotch flavors.

I've drank quite a few "nice" scotches in my day. I'm somebody that tries something over and over and over again until I'm convinced I don't like it. All that and I'm not made for scotch drinking.

Now I'll never turn down a good liquor and I'm guessing I'll come to the same conclusion the next time around, but your tastes change.

Bourbon suits me much better right now.

On my 3rd Evan William's single barrell

Let’s run this thread today boys!

Starting a fast today for the next 18-21 days to jump start another weight loss program.

There will be no alcohol in my near future......:deevee:

Drinking before noon are we?

Hey, it's all good. And we all support you.

Rock on dude...
