Buttermilk pie?? WTF is that an auto correct?

While waiting for the dog to get groomed I strolled thru BevMo and picked up some samples

Rock and Rye- needs a mixer, but that little can with an actual pull tab was cool

Los Rios tequila - like!

Jack Rye -had to make a linchburg lemonade

Diplomatico - I tried over 2 night but had to toss it tonight

If you've never had buttermilk pie, I strongly urge you to try it next time you're at a restaurant and it's on the menu.

I've eyed this off @ First Choice many times, but have finally bought a bottle. It is a typical vanilla/caramel heavy Caribbean rum, which I really like. It has a certain "creaminess" about it which reminds me of Ballantines 12yo scotch. Maybe I just drink too much for my own good.

Had a nice whiskey journey through DC and tried a few new things this week. Also had a small share and pair with some friend from DC and I have to say the Kissing Cousins I brought was the best of the lot!

ANYTHING with PECANS in it, is my F****** Favorite!!! Especially ICE CREAM! And I also love and grew up on homemade butter pie aka Chess Pie!

Why don't you be a good bud and FedEx your Big Hommie some of that Pie...

I have some pecan moonshine from the Appalachian mountains.... it's to die for. Maybe if we ever cross paths I'll have to give you some.

Looks like I'm switching to Tito's vodka b/c gluten free. Not b/c I am going gluten free, just b/c it's obviously healthier than the other vodkas I drink so why not?

Aberlour is my go to recently for Scotch. Love their cask strength A'bunadh so I am switching between the 16 and A'bun the last few weeks. Have not seen the 18 in the Total Wine near me for a long while.

I went to a beer and wine tasting gathering tonight. A colleague of mine has been brewing beer for a decade or so. He's super talented at it. His IPA is worship worthy. He and his wife recently returned from Napa and they brought back a bunch of wines and a case of Pliney the Elder IPA, which is rated as one of the best. I agree it was very, very good, but it wasn't noticeably better than my friend's home brew IPA. That's how good his is. I had one of his double IPAs and an oatmeal stout. Both were superb. I'd consider home brewing as a hobby, except I'd gain back all the weight I've lost if I took up brewing.

Enjoying a pour of Redbreast 12 Cask Strength

M_Six · 11-16-2019, 08:59 PM

^^^That's a nice looking pour. After the past few hours surrounded by a great choice of beers, it's time to return to my P12.

It sounds like a great night of drinking for you, lots of good beer and cap it off with some good whiskey! Enjoy!

This is my favorite of the Redbreast line.

Grab a bottle when you can. I have the 12, 12 CS, 15, Lustau and the 21 yr, this one is my favorite of them. Although I haven’t opened my 21 year bottle yet, it’s reserved for a special occasion.
Cheers!

Why do you think gluten free is any healthier? Unless you have a gluten allergy I am not sure why you would think that.

I have a bottle of that on the way, super excited. My brother found one and grabbed it for me, hope to meet up with him and grab it over Thanksgiving.

Hawkeye · 11-18-2019, 09:47 AM

Had some Ardbeg Dark Cove last night and cracked open my midwinter nights dram act 6 as well.

My answer is, it depends. Sometimes I take it room temp, sometimes add an ice cube or two, it just depends. It’s not based on the spirit either, just how I’m feeling at that moment.

Congrats on the score, I hope you enjoy the 12 CS as much as I do.

Almost always room temp for me. Even if it has bite I generally put in a few drops of warm or room temperature water.

If you like it colder just put the bottle in the fridge or freezer instead of diluting IMO.

Room temp, with water only if desired. Never ice. That would be like taking a fine red wine and chilling it to 44C. Destroys the aromatics, which comprise much of the flavor.
