Lately I tried Samuel Grant. Not expensive,about $22 for 1.5 liter.
Not bad on ice, sittin' on the side porch.

That's my go-to drink normally.... I 'do da' Coruba often....

Those Jamaicans know how to make rum!

Wow this is crazy stuff. I am sipping it out of a shot glass. It has a mild ethanol taste right up front followed by a sweet creamy mouth feel, a gentle warming mid palate, and a mild vanilla after taste. It is made with wheat which makes a pleasant difference. It isn't thin and drying like most vodkas. Fun stuff and it goes real good with Sunny D. LOL
FYI:
Harlan Wheatley is the Master distiller at Buffalo Trace.

I rather enjoy the "burn" after a sip; problem is, it stays with me for a good while. Too long of a while. Acid bath all around.

"The Kentucky Hug" is what they call it. Too bad the acid reflux kicks in. Every once in a while I will swallow wrong and my throat is shot till the next day. It's usually with barrel strength stuff. 120-135 proof.

Woah! Second mortgage on the house? That wouldn't cover it I bet.

People with more money than brains. Nothing could be that good!!

Buddy Ted came back from a trip to Georgia. He stopped a few places on the way home, toured some distilleries and shopped at some liquor stores. Some nice ones here! The Old Pepper was top of the heap for sure. A single barrel that I would buy if I could find one. Especially from the same barrel. It's the search that's the most fun. Well and the tasting before and after!

 

[Budnicks]

my daily after-work drink was originally
Just straight JD chase it with a Boston Lager
or Jim Beam on the rocks
I prefer Nobb Creek or Makers Mark, but it will do in a pinch
nothing too exotic

cheap vodka & Welches grape juice
is ok sometimes too, like an old Nehi

a lil' Grey Goose & grapefruit juice on hot summer days
goes down nice too

I no longer even keep booze in the house (because of my dad)
I don't piss a lot of cash away on designer boozes anymore
I use to buy or try something different often
It's remarkable how much I'm not spending of late too
hundreds of dollars saved, monthly
that I never really cared about before

Now I can spend on something more productive, more useful
usually my dog, ammo's or the car/trucks, boat, trailer etc.

We rarely spend more than $50 on a bottle. Most of my best are in the $30 range. My $32 Rittenhouse is as much fun as a $150 bottle of Whistle Pig. (good thing that was a gift)

I have some Knob Creek and Makers that are good sippers.
