What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

Mywifes335 · 04-02-2016, 10:15 PM

Just picked up Russian Standard Platinum. Too smooth for me. Prefer Original, has more bite.

M_Six · 04-02-2016, 10:42 PM

The Maderas 5+3 wasn't bad. Not as full bodied as the Kirk and Sweeney 23, but I guess you would expect that to be the case when comparing an 8 y.o. rum with a 23 y.o. rum. The 5+3 wasn't as sweet, either. Had a bit of spicy smoke to it.

Tonight I cracked open the Aberlour 12. I like it. Considerably lower in price than the 18, but doesn't leave much on the table. Good choice for a DD, I think.

I sampled the Hibiki I bought for BILIL and kinda glad I gave as present. I think I just stick with Aberlour for a while

Finally picked up a bottle. Very acceptable for the price. Nice find.

Highlands 12 TJ's, not sure where the pic went...

M3 Number 86 · 04-04-2016, 09:43 AM

Damn I haven't drank in a bit.

C5driver · 04-04-2016, 11:27 AM

Vodka

UncleWede · 04-04-2016, 12:30 PM

I was actually pouring Tanqueray into my diet Sunkist last night. For some reason I hurt this morning . . .

Thanks, I never even thought of that. MinuteMaid Lite a better choice? (because diabetic)

This was my first bottle, but it certainly won't be my last. I enjoyed it a lot.

I did something similar waaaaaay back when I very young and exceedingly stupid. I had been downing screwdriver doubles at the NCO/EM club (a whopping $1/drink.) Got back to the hooch later (1st tour in Korea) and only had orange Fanta to mix with my vodka. Not quite the worst hangover ever, but damn close. Running PT the next morning was no fun.

M3 Number 86 · 04-05-2016, 01:10 AM

FINALLY! Got a gift from a fellow member and hpde "student" of mine.

M_Six · 04-08-2016, 11:10 PM

Aberlour 12 and a splash. Very smooth and tasty.

jgoens · 04-08-2016, 11:26 PM

At work..putting away a few glasses Rodney Strong Pinot Noir.

Sidewinderpb · 04-09-2016, 01:47 AM

I'm drinking mystery scotch tonight. Girlfriend is in packaging design, and needed two boxes for comping. She gets two boxes, I get two bottles.

Basil Hayden's Whiskey.
Smooth and delicious.

Goslings Old Rum.
Perfectly sweet, nothing else like it. I think it is the best spirit on the planet.

M_Six · 05-01-2016, 08:28 PM

My score from the super store today.

M_Six · 05-01-2016, 11:02 PM

The Plantation rum is awesome, TXSTYLE.

Sidewinderpb · 05-02-2016, 10:07 AM

Belvenie 12yr Doublewood. Never thought I'd like the sherry, but it's a damned solid pick.
