Thread: Calling all alco... lovers of yeast biprocuct

Rum any and everday of the week. I love Captain Morgans and Sailor Jerry. The latter of the two is not very well known, but I think it is an outstanding rum. For those with slightly more expensive taste, I also have the occasional glass of Stroh's 80. It is a buttered rum from Austria (of all places) and it is 160 proof. Now that is good stuff!

Bunnahabhain - if you register on their site, they've got a nice 'flash' overview on their production

I love you as a brother. It is the best whisky, for the money, I have ever tasted.

Here is my current tipple-de-jour; Hendricks gin. Served neat over a slice of cucumber.

I also like CC whiskey with Ginger Ale, or brandy sours...

There is a red wine made locally that is not exported call Acalon, which is the nuts.

Hendricks and Tonic!!! Sounds great to me right now. I also like Wet (pear infused by Beefeater).


Ok, Justin. I thought about it and for Whiskey, here's what I can pass on.

Sunsi got it right with a CC and Gingerale. I like Beam instead, but I have a sweet tooth. (captn and ginger is also a great one, but not a whiskey )

Be sure to pack that ice in the glass and use 9 oz glasses

Bourbon sours are also awesome

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (or more if you're THAT guy)
2 oz sour mix (lemon juice and sugar). If you can make your own sour all the better (fresh sour can also be made from limes...hell you could use minute maid cherry limeade if you felt like it...hmmm...)

Liquid Cocaine

1 oz Soco
1/2 oz amaretto
1/2 oz grand marnier (or triple sec if on a budget)
1/2 vodka
Fill with pineapple juice

Tropical Itch (modified for easier ingrediants)

1 1/2 oz whiskey
1/2 oz amaretto
1 oz triple sec (or grandma)
squeeze half a lemon (get all the juice)
float dark rum
this is old school...careful with it. You could also add passionfruit juice (or pine) to make it a bit sweeter.


If you really like the taste of Bourbon, try a Manhattan. I like mine without bitters (I'm bitter enough )


Enjoy (I'll have the bail ready... )

As far as hard alcohol goes my favorite is tequila. I Prefer anejos and I am in love with Corazon's anejo. I like Scotch best out of the whiskeys, but this Knob Creek might change that. I like a good rum but I am not much for brandy, though I haven't had anything that expensive. Only drink vodka in Bloody Marries.
I still have much to try and I think that is what I enjoy most about it.

I too recently picked up a bottle of Knob Creek. I think it's actually a little smoother than Makers Mark. Very smooth. I don't know what it is about Jack, maybe it's the charcoal filtering... I dunno know, but it brings out my ugly side.

For tequila, Tres Generaciones is good, as is the Cabo Wabo Blanco.

What? No more bread lovers?
What about good old fashioned ginger ale or rootbeer? I make a killer gingerbeer which ferments for 24 hours to get the yeast going to create the carbonation and unless you leave a bottle open for more than a day or two, you will never see more than 1% alcohol so its great for the kids!!

Don't know my breads well enough to preach but I do love the breads . 2 thumbs up for the ginger ale and rootbear ----how about some good French bread Mark? ---with a nice beer and a big ol' bowl of gumbo on a cold winter day. Tell us a little about different types of bread Mark, please.

I've never tried gingerbeer. I would like to. How can I obtain some of this gingerbeer that you make? I'm guessing it doesn't ship well.

I just finished spending a couple of hours on the patio with a good friend and about half a bottle of Bushmill's Single Malt 16 yr. old whisky. Steve smoked a Montecristo and I had an El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Larga. Toward the end we were chasing it with Tecate and lime. That's pretty much my favorite way to end the day. At least with my clothes on. Mike

Gotta be the worst hangover drink in history.

If you like bourbon, try Blanton Single Barrel. Just a couple of fingers in a semi clean glass. Very nice bourbon. Mike

"When American pioneers pushed west of the Allegheny Mountains following the Revolution, the first counties they founded covered vast regions. One of these original, huge counties was Bourbon, established in 1785 and named after the French royal family. While this vast county was being carved into many smaller ones, early in the 19th century, many people continued to call the region 'Old Bourbon.'
"Located within 'Old Bourbon' was the principal Ohio River port from which whiskey and other products were shipped to market. 'Old Bourbon' was stenciled on the barrels to indicate their port of origin. 'Old Bourbon' whiskey was different because it was the first corn whiskey most people had ever tasted, and they liked it. In time, 'bourbon' became the name for any corn-based whiskey."
