    Nothing wrong with being an occasional sipper. Manhattan? Do I have any Vermouth? Ah, yes I do. I do like an occasional cocktail but I'm not so comfortable making them I guess. I need more practice! LOL

    I guess you could call me a binge drinker. Sometimes I think I may have a drinking problem but there are days in a row where I don't have anything stronger than a cup of coffee. I was on antibiotics for 2 weeks and had no problem not drinking any alcohol. But, (there's always a but) when I get...

    Interesting. I have heard of dry counties but never anything in between. Yes, 50 miles is a long trip for a toddy. Nothing wrong with Baileys.

    That sounds like a lot of fun. Chatting with friends and sampling some different wines. I went to our whiskey tasting group last night. The club bought 2 nice Irish whiskies. It's fun to be able to sample things you would never buy yourself. We had a nice group and lots of fun and conversation...

    What could possibly go wrong here. We had fun. Less than half an oz. In each glass.

    I was driving so I only had a Margarita and sipped on a shot of tequila. Lauren (my youngest) on the other hand, had a snoot full. 2 Margs, 3 shots of tequila and a shot or two of Fireball. She wasn't pretty. We had a heck of a time getting her poured out of the car and into the house. Been there!

    Priorities! I had quite a list of things I wanted to accomplish today but other than modding on 4 of Joey's sites, taking a nap, and a shower, that's just about it. No working on the car today, no Wal Mart run. Heck not even the dishes. I did muster up enough energy to get the garbage ready for...

    Cool bottle I have never seen before. Rum would be my guess because it is made from sugar cane. You have a lot of mixers there but not a lot to drink. LOL The Vodka's should be fun as well as the Tequila's. You could make an Old Fashion with the Makers Mark. I see you have some bitters.

    I have taken to old fashions lately. I too like the blend of flavors. Cheers! My sip for the night. I was working on my 64 and got chilled being outside all afternoon. This warmed me up a bit.

    What's in your glass Friday. A Remus barrel pick from a friend/ liquor store owner. 113.2 proof with notes of soft cherry, vanilla, and light oak. Mid palate there is a blast of clove that fades away to a long spicy finish. Cheers!

    Thanks for the reply. Heck, do an inventory of what you have and let me take a look. I would be happy to see if some are the real good stuff. Packaging and shipping is the worst if you ship them off. Although, I have a pile of boxes and cardboard inserts in the basement just in case.

    Well, what should I sip on tonight? I have some Hard Truth Sweet mash Rye that is so good but I need to keep my mitts off it or it will be gone too soon.

    I think the "Super Mod" thing came from drag racing. I think Joey sets that up when he makes us Moderators. I don't think I can change it. I stop in here a couple times a day when I make my rounds. I found this thread and of course I had to stop by and say cheers to you all. I'm a whiskey...

    Tito's is a good low proof neutral spirit. I think they are producing their own base spirit. When they started in business I understand they bought Ethanol from a huge plant just 30 miles north of me and then ran it through their own column still to finish it. How many bottles can you get out of...

    :D :D We were trying to rectify that situation. Between the two of us we have around 30 bottles. Some are duplicates between the two of us and we each have a few extra bottles of favorites.

    It's been almost a week and it's 5:00 somewhere. I started a little early. Just a little Jim Beam Winter Reserve in the glass to start. Not a big Beam fan but this stuff is pretty tasty if you can find it. The Beam Black 7 year is pretty good as well.

    I just got these in today. It is a barrel pick from a few whisky You Tubers I watch. Oh my, quite delicious. Apricot and peach flavors. Hard to believe those flavors come from distilling grains and some yeast.
