What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

That's what I do with most single malts. Also swish it around your mouth a little bit before swallowing. If you take a big gulp of undiluted scotch and swallow it you will most likely not enjoy the experience.

I can't drink regular whiskey without mixing it with anything, it has to be at least an old fashioned (yummy) or something like that. The additional aging mellows out the scotches a lot and make them a lot more drinkable to me.

Can't recall exactly which one it was, just had it straight up and sipped. Just wasn't really feeling it, might try adding some water, but I usually just drink everything on the rocks. I'll have to give it another shot one day.

Whiskey has grown on me, used to not like it, but now it's my end of the night drink. Miller Fortune or Molson XXX during the day, because it's cheaper than Crown or JW.

Happy Friday Bitches!

Never tried Ciroc before...not bad, but it's not taking over my top 3. Just chilling with a stogie...waiting for the Pens game.

Wife and daughter are hitting Rock on the Range...so I have some buds coming over. Will hit the grill for some good munchies in a few.

Just because I enjoy diluted piss doesn't mean you have the right to berate me, you damn online bully.

Nice ShopVac. Love me some vodka, but vodka hates me. Never ends well.

#1 Ketel One
#2 Grey Goose
#3 Belvedere

My personal likings anyway. Just on taste alone....not mixing.

Ahh..had some Belvedere last monday with lemonade (that's what my buddy likes) before getting trashed at the SF Giants game. Good stuff.

I'm not a fan of Grey Goose, it tastes like that cheap plastic bottle junk that I used to drink in college to me. Ketel One and Titos are pretty good but my favorite is Stoli by a Texas mile. Never had Belvedere.

I have the same problem with Grey Goose, I really don't like the taste of it, and I can taste it even with a bunch of mixers. I went to the Bahamas last year and they used Grey Goose for everything at Atlantis, and it just reaffirmed how much I don't like it. I prefer Ketel One and Belvedere. Titos is good but I still think Ketel One and Belvedere are more neutral tasting.

Stoli's is good...I have it on the bar. Never had Titos. I'll try it and report back

I put Crystal Head above all the previously mentioned choices of vodka. If you like vodka and haven't tried it yet, I suggest you give it a "shot".
Cheers!

That's actually why I tried it, thinking the honey flavoring might do just a bit more than the alcohol killing the germs. I am unhappy to report there was no added benefit, and the shit was still nasty. Not mediciney-tastes bad but good for you nasty either.

Belvedere is good, but I'm really digging Tito's lately. I also never fully moved away from Stoli too. They do a good vodka... though my heart is with Scotch.

Aberlour 15 this evening.
