He got a you a Jack Rose Saloon barrel pick?! It’s fantastic. I have a “Picked by Ricky” and it’s great too. Others I’ve tried have varied for my taste from really good to good. None suck so even if yours is a different barrel pick I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Hell it might even be incredible to you. Hope it is!
Fighting the bronchitis crud. LBP 923 to the rescue! Delicious and medicinal.
My lady somehow got me a bottle of Blantons black label. It’s tasty. Drink in the pic is her espresso old fashioned. I only drink Blantons neat.
First drink of the new year, 4 beers.
Starting Xmas with flue and other family had covid, sucked but got worse. Then started the shingles, sob!
Blew the holidays, family and food.
Not to mention shooting and hunting.
Got some good whiskey sitting and waiting on me.

My favorite of them. I like the higher Rye just a litttle over the corn, although the OESV is killer to…
9-10yr OBSK? Tier 5 so that’s cool 123.4! Damn!

Will have to nagg the liquor store buyer for some 4 Roses bib or cask strength.
My tastes have gravitated to bib for consistency and barrel proof for the win.
Not apposed to good quality 90 proofs while hunting the treats.

Sorry for your loss. That Allardice is excellent and hopefully you can enjoy it with some good memories
LOS GALGOS PANKY - as given to me by the senora en la famosa Los Galgos "cafe notable" en Buenos Aires.
1 oz Aperol
2 oz Cynar
1 oz Bianco Vermouth
Soda to top
I garnish with candied ginger in my "cocina notable" - which I think is perfect, and they should steal from me.

Inauguration Day bread and some Goose Island Bourbon County Stout.
It's very good, and has a "World Class" ranking on BA: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1146/10672/

Research no additive tequilas if you’re not familiar with them. It’s eye opening. Many use caramel color, agave syrup and all kinds of additives to give those sweet vanilla, cotton candy, etc flavors. Once you start appreciating the flavors just from aging in wood and the plant used then the others start really seeming artificial. Especially the sweetness. Just my opinion. Clase Azul is a prime example. Corazon Angelo finished 15 mo in William Laurue Welles barrels is excellent but light yellow color naturally. Mi Casa extra Angelo 9 yr is dark from such a long time in the barrel, which by tequila standards is really aged. It’s incredible.

I'm not surprised that most folks here don't know it- Ojen is what Kings drink.
I am surprised that more guys here wouldn't like it- after it louches and you give the Peychaud's a stir, it turns pink... like the Pinko Commie America-hating scum that like to pollute threads by trying out the latest talking points they got from Red China.
And now look... you ruined a good thread that was just about good times and spirits...
Back to our regularly scheduled topic.

My Battle for Clear Ice.
Been years since I tried and failed to get a clear 2-inch single ice cube for my Single Malt Scotch. So, I gave up on it. I live in FL so a bottle of Scotch in my house is AT BEST 75 degrees and that's in winter. Not good enough. I like slow melting big cubes in my drinks.
There all kind of gizmos on Amazon for outrageous prices which are basically an ice tray inside a foam cooler. I made one for less than half of the Amazon gizmos and it didn't work either.
Best clear ice I've ever seen was the round ice with a hole in the middle. That was from a high end (expensive) ice maker on a 50-foot sport fishing boat. I know how it works but might as well buy the boat!
Does anyone here have a reasonable solution? I know the theory (top down or one sided freezing) and how it all works but I'm thinking about buying distilled water by the gallon and fuck it. Not sure even that will work.
PS. My daughters now what I like and one of them got me a bottle of Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old this Christmas, an $80 bottle. I remember the late 1970s when I could by a bottle of 10-year old Glenmorangie for $9 dollars!!! That was a lot then 'cause I was in college.

I put effort into my bar- premium liquors, fresh fruit juices, and particularly in my syrups (that I make). I have the right glasses and the right garnish... and while I'm certainly aware of it, I never pursued clear ice.
It tastes the same as normal ice.
The method to get it is as you described though, and so are the tools.
