Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

I put away the good stuff until I got my taste buds back. Took about 7 weeks for me.
It should be common all over by now but have you had Weihenstephaner heffe weissbier? That’s one of my favorites
Weihenstephaner Master Race, that is an excellent Weiss. A co-worker of mine back in my brewing days studied at the Technical institute affiliated with Weihenstephaner. Few Americans get into that program, if only by virtue of it requiring technical fluency in German.
Where do you get Moosehead ? I thought that was only available in NS, Canada
Woodford Reserve Double Oak.
Picked it up in Looville, KY in ‘19 at NASP Nationals, when my daughter qualified the first time.

Down to my last half gallon. Time to make a booze run.

Makers - bang for the buck is THE highest IMHO
A dram of that, a decent Maduro Corona or Robusto or maybe some pretend-965 in a good Meer, boots up on the railDECENT mADURO OR SOME 965-PRETENDER IN A GOOD mER,M

Don't drink much beer but I remember it was a nice one. I also liked Kokanee; I think that's a BC brew but we drank a pile of it while fishing up there
These Makers Cask Strength are some of the best on the shelf wheated bourbons out there today IMHO. I'm going to be sad when I kill this 2017-02 but I have 4 or 5 other batches in reserves ready to open. So damn good. The flavors are amazing. I did a blind taste for a buddy with this bottle, Old Fitzgerald, EH Single Barrel, and Stagg Jr. He picked this Makers over them all hands down. 110.7 proof drinks like 80 proof full of flavor. If you see it on the shelf buy it.

some retailers “pick” or “select“ a particular barrel or barrels from a distillery‘s line up of expressions
Correct. In single barrels there is quite a bit of variation and you get to pick the expression that you want.
Friend and coworker of mine suggested a scotch years ago, Bill passed suddenly in 2018. Bill turned me on to better bourbons and finer single malts. He was a fine mentor and friend.
Was finally able to find Isle of Jura on the shelf locally. AL has a state run monopoly on liquor
that often limits our selection.
Anyhow, here’s to departed friends.

Had some Old Tub earlier today. Now just a glass of Cab with dinner.
Then I stumbled on this thread and it made me thirsty for something else.
Not sure what I want yet. Far too many choices here.

In the above picture you can see a jar of clear liquid. Closest to Popcorn"s I have found. It ain't no bathtub gin!!
You know, I can't stand Makers 90 proof. But I do enjoy the cask strength. I currently have the 101 proof and it's great neat.
I was turned on to Brandy Manhattans at deer camp last week. This is the first one I've ordered at a bar and it's a hell of a lot better.
I guess you're not supposed to cover the flavor of the brandy with grenadine...

Not worth a pic....
Maker's 46. Another "meh." This is what I get for looking for poor alternatives I haven't tried. One never knows, till one tries.
But, it'll get 'er done for tonight.

I've passed this up the last few times I saw it but grabbed one today. I like it a lot. Nose and flavor is very good.
Calling this week over with a pour of Smoke Wagon Uncut/Unfiltered Barrel Proof
Brewdog lockdown lager (fucking great!) alternating buffalo trace, zacapa xo, and black cow vodka chasers. Gettin it did.
Old Forrester in a Sidecar and a second round in a classic Old Fashion. My grandfather’s bourbon of choice, though Roy always mixed his with 7Up. I’m the age now that Roy was when I was born. This particular bottle was apparently his last one, mom found it in his closet cleaning up the house a few weeks back. Roy departed in 2015, Margaret traveled home to Roy in January. Cheers folks...have a fantastic evening.
Friday nights I always have a very large bow of angel hair pasta (about 1/2 pound) & a cold bottle of Stella. Desert is half of the pint of ice cream. Because I am on a diet I cut out the large baguette and butter.

How do you like it? Picked up a couple last week, but the Rona still has my taste all fucked up.
I like it a lot. Full of flavor, especially on the back end where most fall flat. And it drinks like 90 proof not 115proof. Good pour
Made a batch of eggnog with Old Forrester 1920 this morning. Put it in the fridge to sit until Christmas.
