Easttide Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Still a great value even with out the 7 Y/O age statement. You could find those here in St Louis up until about last year... since then it's been strictly NOS. I've got a few different bottles of the Special Reserve from Single Barrels (store picks) which are interesting as well. Usually the blends are better though.

SofaKing Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I had fun recently experimenting (again!) with some cocktails... 1) Daiquiri Made with 45 ml Bacardi white rum, 15 ml sugar syrup and 25 ml lime juice, it's hard to believe how a cocktail with so few ingredients can be so good. That citrus and sweetness combines so well in this drink! 2016-05-14 17.56.08.jpg 2) Tuxedo Cocktail I gave this a try as it's a recent addition to the IBA (International Bartenders Association) official cocktail list. 30 ml Old Tom gin, 30 ml Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth, 3 ml Maraschino Liqueur, 1 1/2 ml Absinthe and 3 dashes of Orange Bitters. How was it? Well, really weird first, but not bad as I sipped the drink and contrasting flavours settled on my palate. 2016-05-14 18.20.11.jpg 3) Martini A very low ratio, yes, I agree but I'm using Noilly Prat Dry Vermouth and 1:3 is what they say on the back of their bottle! Anyway, 20 ml Noilly Prat, 40 ml Tanqueray Gin and 2-3 dashes of Orange Bitters, garnished with 3 Spanish Olives. What can I say? Glorious! 2016-05-15 14.47.29.jpg 4) Manhattan I'm still experimenting with this drink. Today I used 20 ml Dolin Rouge Vermouth, 50 ml Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon and 2-3 dashes of Angostura Bitters. Add a Maraschino Cherry and really, you can't complain! 2016-05-15 15.41.30.jpg The cost of airfare from NY alone would be worth it for an evening of cocktails at your place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper669 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 If anybody knows where I can get a case or two of each, shoot me a PM. Thanks Mike! The Green is possibly the best IPA I've ever had, and the Julius is excellent also. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so kindly, I often humbled by compliments from guests when I make drinks. My brother-in-law visited this week and requested a drink, he was impressed by the daiquiri I made him (as was my wife). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sengjc Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Drinks at my place after dinner. Happy Ardbeg Day. This is a fabulous bottling, sherried and peaty, harmoniously balanced with just enough sweetness. A little different to the Uigeadail which has a bit more sweetness on the palate and "roughness" - a more refined and grown-up Uigeadail. I would like to get more but I think it is only fair to let others have a go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Green is possibly the best IPA I've ever had, and the Julius is excellent also. Haze is my personal favorite and unique. The rest is overpriced, IMO. Many cans are $1+ more than Heady Topper! HT may not be the favorite of the hipsters anymore, but it's still world class hops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper669 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I don't smoke or drink alot but when I do, I want what I like the most. A few bucks won't kill me, if it did I'd be drinking Bud light and smoking Backwoods. I live in California so I really can't get these anyway.
