Spirits and Cocktails

[Tapate50]

You listed 2 spirits, a wine, and a malt beverage. COME ON

I forget terminology gets you all hot and bothered. Wierd.

Anyway, I guess my point is that water and a splash of lime is the abslute max I'll have with my SPIRITS.

I love both gin and single malt. I'm more likely to go for gin in summer and scotch in winter but that isn't a rule.

I haven't developed a taste for rye yet but I may give it another try. Fell in love the Glenfiddich a few years ago and now have to steer clear. It just goes down too smooth. I'm slowly working my way through the other big names but haven't found a better one for me yet. Laphroaig tastes like really good cough syrup. It's growing on me.

I never thought I'd see it but now both Jim Beam and Jack Daniels have a "with honey" product. Haven't tried either yet but I did try another with honey whiskey, Torys (Suntory). It's another I think I may have to avoid.

I like red wine but lately it gives me a headache.

I had the Jim Beam one a few weeks ago. It's not bad. It's more of liqueur than a liquor IMO. But it does go down easy.

That is far and away my favorite. Sadly so few get it.

Is there anyway I can get sweet rye syrup, thinking about making a liquor (not licker, but the real way of saying it) you know thick, strong, good for evening appetizers.

A little heavier than meade but as powerful as the applejack I made a few months ago.

 

[zitothebrave]

maybe a Rye Malt extract?

I drink 1800 mostly.

Lock the thread.

 

[AerchAngel]

We call that the new version of MadDog, Thunderbird or NightTrane.

Bleccccccchhhh!

 

[AerchAngel]

Might look into that. I am trying to make a more potent version of Southern Comfort.

Ehhh, I'm really not a tequila fan. I don't mind an anejo every now and then, but I rarely drink tequila. Outside of a margarita when it's damned hot out.

When I drink, it is almost always tequila or wine.

I love wine. You a red or white kind of guy? Generally I prefer white, but every once in awhile red wine is very good.

I prefer red. Pinot noir.

Got a bottle for Valentine's Day. Very good over ice, but you're right, more like a liqueur.

It tastes a lot like this herbal liqueur from Japan.

This is what folks around these parts call whiskey:

It is... not whiskey. It is officially and ambiguously branded as "blended spirits," and it is omnipresent.

And everyone puts ice in their beer. And cocktails are not really a thing. Though I was able to find some Angostura in Chiang Mai.
