Just bought six cans of Tab, the perfect mixer for any occasion, for L and the champs... things are gonna get real very quickly!!

Just warming up on some US proof Makers but the George T Stagg is in line for a hit before bed.

Once upon a time, it was the very same stuff you speak of.

[bergsey]

Cointreau on ice, oblivion here I come. Flaming (Black) Sambucas if you are in a group! Cointreau is great but I abused it too much in my youth so brings back some bad memories... :)

[bergsey]

Any Chartreuse drinkers out there?

[Ashes]

Any Chartreuse drinkers out there?

I don't remember the last time I drank that. Was a pre-season trip to Albany that apparently ended with a 4am call to my wife asking her to turn on the computer and look up google maps so I could find my way back to the apartments.

[dc68]

Jim Beam small batch on ice with a splash of JB Honey. Mmmmmmm

[Captain Nemo]

American Honey (by Wild Turkey) has been my tipple lately!

Jim Beam small batch

I have a bottle of this stuff you're welcome to, DC. Leftovers from Michelle's Jim Beam promo days and I'm only going to end up using it to degrease an engine or make molotov cocktails or some such.

[Eag's]

+1 It should be sold with a pink umbrella & a slice of pineapple.

[bergsey]

The 100 proof stuff is totally different to normal southo

+1 yes.. My 18th,19th,20th birthdays were ruined with ABC shots Absinthe , Barcardi 151 and Chartruse combined into a 60ml shot..

And no.. one doesnt make the next one any smoother..

[henno]

You're kidding !

I'm not. Bourbon is poison.

[Sydney Hacker]

Wild Turkey Rare Breed neat is my fav at the moment.

Nice peaty flavour as well.

I quite like the Caribbean dark rums - Cockspur and Mount Gay ( no homo). Anyone tried them?

My missus loves a mount gay, and the more she drinks the more I love her for it!

Very fond of the Mount Gay (no homo) Jack, very smooth indeed.

Correct useage

No he's right. The Beam small batch with port is rubbish


I'm not. Bourbon is poison.

Well you lost me now Henno.

The Mt Gay XO is a good sipper. The regular edition is a good mixer but a bit naff neat I reckon. Not had a Cockspur, sounds painful.

[Johnny Canuck]

Rubes prefers a mixer he calls "Mount Gay ****", does this count?

[Lagerlover]

Is Malibu a spirit? must be good to have money Jack... Wipeout is where it's at

[Shortylook]

So bundy is a no no I take it

[Dcanto]

Don't mind Inner Circle Rum. Haven't tried many other runs as being born and raised on a cane farm it was considered sacrilege to drink anything other than Bundy.

[henno]

Tried the Ardmore Henno?

Nice peaty flavour as well.

Sure have. Most of the peaty islay malts are my usual game. I couldn't turn down Laphroiag for $60 and change. Great buying at that so I loaded up a few weeks ago!

[TourFit]

Don't mind Inner Circle Rum.

We WAnkers have heard of the Inner Circle, but we just can't seem to pinpoint any! Apparently it exists.

[TourFit]

These are two of my old faves...but I seem to NOT drink so much single malts these days!

2362223623

However, I have just picked up a bottle of this...as I have a cousin who I found out via Faceypage is now WORKING THERE!!! Love the fact it began in 1488, FFS!

[LeftyHoges]

Andigold and Firey both had a very nice drop of rum in their flasks at Spring Valley around 9 months ago. Very tasty.

Just found the thread, they were this (http://www.nicks.com.au/Product/View/Diplomatico-Reserva-Exclusiva-12-Year-Old-Rum-(700ml)/483786) and this (http://www.nicks.com.au/Product/View/Ron-Zacapa-Centenario-Sistema-Solera-23-Rum-(700ml)/480435).

[RobNewy]

Anyone had anything to do with the Japanese whiskey's?
Sposed to be extremely good

Sweet!!! Love your work Henwah!!!

[Cosmopolite]

I am not usually a fan of bourbon, but like the new cherry bourbon. probably a bit girlie for most of you blokes.

Bushmills or Glenmorangie are good drops.

[BayBum]

I've been on the Capt.Morgan spiced rum lately. I have found myself switching up after less & less beers. Dangerous game.

Have the So.Co drinkers tried it with L&P (lemon & paeroa) ? NZ's world famous soft drink. Super mixer.

That's ho my nanna and poppa roll! If you like the captain I've heard the Sailor Jerry is worth a shot.

[Ronny]

Can any of the bundy crew tell me if road 2 recovery rum is still available from the bond store?Yes it might be rum and a heathen drink for spirits drinkers but trying to get a couple of bottles for the collection.I do have a scotch collection as well if that counts!!

[Eag's]

Wash your mouth out, Rum is anything but a heathen drink. Mothers milk, it will put hairs on your chest ;)

[Peter]

Hairs on your chest, and blood on your knuckles!

A mate drove to bundy today to add to his collection. Not sure about anywhere else. This is the haul he got. The three people he talks about is his Mrs & her little sister. He should marry her

[Hux]

In bourbon for sipping....Woodford Reserve (Lamont and Graham from memory). However let's talk irish whisky. You just can't beat a nice mouthful of The Black Bush. Definitely no homo in my choice!! Seriously though the smoothest neat whisky EVER imho. Any other tequila lovers out there?

[Eag's]

The only decent bourbon I have ever tried was American Honey, that stuff was pure pleasure.

[Ronny]

Nice collect there popper! I couldn't make the release but looking for a few bottles!
I still have a black stashed Away!!

[Sasquatch]

Any other tequila lovers out there?
Absolutely. I have a fantastic crop of limes in the backyard & currently enjoying a bottle of Monte Alban Mezcal for shots & a bottle of El Jimador for Margarita's.

[Hux]

Please...that is not bourbon. Its some over the top additive with alcohol. Pure rubbish.

Absolutely. I have a fantastic crop of limes in the backyard & currently enjoying a bottle of Monte Alban Mezcal for shots & a bottle of El Jimador for Margarita's. Margaritaville - planning on a couple tomorrow actually. Best tequila I have had a mate bought back from Mexico. It cost USD$30 in Mexico and all I remember was it being quite a plain bottle with Respada (reserve) under an unknown name. It was absolute gold.

[Eag's]

Hey, I was trying to find a positive about bourbon, obviously I failed ;)

[oncewasagolfer]

Smashing down some cans of johnnie red and dry. Maybe I should be in the bogan thread:)

[LeftyHoges]

:wink:

One of my playing partners bought me a Bundy Rum yesterday when we were about 10 cans in. Made the decision to take it back to the bar to get swapped as I didn't want to get blood on my pink trousers.

[Johnny Canuck]

With the money I've spent on Tequila lately Hux I probably could've had a trip to Mexico to bring us back some of this plain bottle Respada. Currently drinking Espolon which I like. I stand & gaze at the Milagro bottles at Uncle Dans but $150 for a bottle is a bit beyond me even if the bottle is a piece of art.

[Dazza]

Wash your mouth out, Rum is anything but a heathen drink. Mothers milk, it will put hairs on your chest ;) You wanna fight do ya? :pTaken a bit of a liking to the spiced Bundy. Appleton Estate is also a nice drop, Yet to try Mt Homo.

Noice work, face. Got yourself any Crown Royal yet? I am so happy with Dans at the moment.

[Pieface]

No crown yet. I shop south of the border mostly but I'm keeping it in mind.

Not if he is using it as a cleaning product or to preserve a dead snake, as I would assume a good boy like timah would be.

[timah!]

Exactly. Im using it to preserve the remaining good part of Popper's calf muscle...

[Lobsta]

Exactly. Im using it to preserve the remaining good part of Popper's calf muscle...

Won't need much in that case. More left over to drink!

Dan Murphy is really lifting it's game. Dickel leaves JD for dead!

Also picked up an Appleton Estate 12YO. I love a rum at Chrissy.

[TheNuclearOne]

Might look into that one for my xmas drink.

[Captain Nemo]

Got a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon for my birthday.
Anyone had a crack at this?

[bdoug10]

I didn't think to much of bullet to me they went for alcohol content over taste

[bdoug10]

That was in premix sorry might be better on your own mix

[Captain Nemo]

I'll most likely have it with Coke or Dry..

[Pieface]

Got a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon for my birthday.

Bulliet is made by four roses distillery. It's an ok mixer but not a great sipper IMO. A bit of an all rounder. It's a pretty good call for a gift really.

For mixing with coke I still like wt86.8 but it is awful neat. I like a strong rye bourbon with coke. Wheat recipe like makers mark or low rye can get a bit sickly sweet for me.

If you want a great sipper and can handle spending a bit more the Blanton original brown label is very hard to beat for value.

[Icestorm959]

Sipping me some Caol Ila tonight :D
