Saturday Spirits

[Bubba Dawg]

Overcast and in the 50's here today.

TOTD: I do not indulge in adult spirits often but when I do, I prefer rums such as Captain Morgan Spiced or Sailor Jerry's. Beer-wise I'll pretty much drink what's available.

I don't drink much beer and when I do pretty much any will do. I enjoy Captain Morgan and coke.

I slept in today (7:30 or so), after an evening of watching my son play volleyball. We won..yippeee! It is looking to be a great season, and I am really excited about it.

TOTD- when I do drink, I like a good beer. I don't worry about calories, because lets face it, Coors Lite, Miller Lite.. they just taste BAD, and surely people who drink them are not drinking for taste.

I love sampling new beers and new tastes. I don't like bitter hoppy beers. I like lagers and dark beers. I also like Wheat beers.

I have tried to appreciate the paint thinner that is called Scotch. I have also tried to appreciate wines, but I just don't care much for the taste.

Once a summer, I will make a mean mix of mojitos. People love them.

paint thinner....:eek::D

Actually, scotch is like gin I guess, you either like it or you don't.

[Bubba Dawg]

Your question seems to exclude wine, which I drink almost daily, and beer, which I drink rarely. In terms of spirits, I drink single malt scotches and bourbons; I also like George Dickel, a "Tennessee whiskey". Whatever I drink I drink straight, sometimes with ice.

Didn't mean to leave off wine. That may be the TOTD next week. It deserves it's own category. I enjoy Dickel too. What single malt do you like?

[Bubba Dawg]

I have to agree - Scotch sucks so does Gin. Bourbon, Vodka, Triplesec, rum . . .Thems are good stuff. Not like scotch.

You like beer?

[Bubba Dawg]

Sunny and windy here today. Cold!!! Maybe a winter storm on the way for next week.

TOTD: Makers Mark, JD, any good vodka, Bacardi Select Rum, Bud Light Lime beer. :D

I have a bottle of Makers Mark that I tap every now and then.

I haven't tried Bud Light Lime but it sounds hideous....:eek:

[Bubba Dawg]

I don't drink much, but I have preferences when I do.

Bourbon - Blantons, Makers Mark and Jack, in that order
Vodka - Can't stand it.
Rum - Can't stand it.
Gin - Hendricks
Tequila - Aged Blue Agave types
Scotch - Balvenie
Wine - don't much care for it, I can enjoy a very good Pinot Noir on occasion
Beer - ONLY craft beers, no mass market swill. Have a preference for the brews from Stone Brewery, particularly their smoked Porter.

I haven't tried Hendricks or Balvenie. Blantons is new to me too. I'll look for it.

[Bubba Dawg]

Bubba, you said you hadn't settled on a "favorite" single malt but you'd take suggestons.

I don't have a favorite; I think different ones are appropriate to different occasions. Before dinner, I like something smoky/peaty, like a Lagavulin or a Talisker. After dinner, something smoother, like Dalwhinnie or the Balvenie - especially the Balvenie, which is finished in sherry casks and picks up some lovely flavor there.

I've tried Talisker and Dalwhinnie (I think) but the others are new to me. When I drink single malt I like to smoke an Arturo Fuente 858 or Hemingway.

. (It doesn't help that I lost my virginity that night and cannot remember a second of it) .

It lasted longer then a second? :D

[Bubba Dawg]

It lasted longer then a second? :D

To hear him tell it.....:D

Leinenkugel (probably spelled that wrong) has a good honey weis.

Yes they do, and it always tastes better at a bar in WI. All beer tastes better in WI.

Especially after a ride over a frozen lake on a snowmobile or fishing in a lake with water so clear you can see the rocks on the bottom.

Big muskies & walleye are good also!

It was 66 today in Las Vegas, a little foggy at first, but turned out to be a great day.

Tonight, my head hurts from too much math. It's almost flu like.
