What are you drinking right now!?

Just saw that at the local store... your opinions?
Nice burnt copper color. Early bread and toasted honey smell, opens to light tobacco and develops into a fruity charcoal nose of sweet almond and ripe melon. A light but lingering oiliness on the mouth. Some of my friends caught dry flavors of grain and oak. All agree that it is explosive and strong like Maker's Mark, but more restrained at the start. Finish is long, sweet-corn, citrus and oak, oilier than expected and sweet.

My opinion: A good value, and one of the best to come along recently in its price range.

Mac18 is just awesome, description aside.

That was Eagle Rare. Knight asked me for my opinion.

Macallan is sweeter on the nose, with honey and Sherry and flowers, with an immediate full body that starts and remains smooth and not oily. It is more flowery and smoky on the palate with a much more rounded finish. Of course, Macallan is a Scotch, and a very good one, and one of my favorites.

According to a friend, the US's oldest veteran(107) starts his day with a cup of coffee with a shot of booze. Have to let the wife know, so she stops complaining about my coffee with Yukon Jack when I get home, now. Grandpa always said his doc told him to take a shot of Five Star once a day.
 
New Belgium's "Giddy Up" .....YUK!!! Espresso infused beer is not good. (Only have them Cruz they're in a sample and they've been building up)
