Old Fashioned at the Keg are pretty bad. Avoid. |
Just had the Old Fashioned at Pourhouse yesterday. It was solid but not really "Wow" and definitely not worth it for $13 a pop. Plus tax and tip it was almost $70 for 2 drinks each for me and my friend. It is really a very simple cocktail to make at home. No blending, shaking, or special ingredients needed. |
True. Bitters can be bought at Safeway (or similar I'm sure) and I've subbed simple syrup for organic Agave syrup found at Winners a while ago lol... delish! |
Got a little sample bottle of this yesterday.. surprised me how tasty it was (mixed with coke) https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B1JBxIrCYAAXmh7.jpg |
Holy fuck all the whiskeys and bourbon in Edinburgh.... I am having an awesome time... Anything in particular I should look for? They even have the Japanese ones in stock lol |
Spoiler! Thought you guys would appreciate dreaming with me... |
The insane line-up of whiskeys and meats at a recent dinner I went to. What an epic night. http://i.imgur.com/MSV1zgCh.jpg |

I luv Edinburgh. Try Famous Grouse & Ginger on tap! For those looking for great everyday value, Famous Grouse is a blend of Macallan and Highland Park. |

Was browsing the gallery on my phone and dug these up. This was a Whiskey tasting event at The Cascade room on Robbie Burn's day sponsored by Glenlivet. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psdshlui0q.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...psrtrgnaww.jpg After polishing off the last of the Aberlour A'bunadh I didn't remember much after waving to the band as we were leaving that night. |
http://wyomingwhiskey.com/wp/wp-cont...1/bottle31.jpg While traveling I like to peruse the bourbon lists looking for things I haven't tried, or if the bartender seems to know what he's talking about I ask for some suggestions based on my usual preferences. Wyoming Whiskey was suggested to me by a bartender in Jackson WY, apparently the retired brewmaster from Makers Mark was called out of retirement to be the brewmaster for this small-batch Whiskey. Somewhat unique, in that all ingredients and materials are produced in-state. Ended up drinking only Wyoming Whiskey for the duration of my Wyoming visit, so a bottle obviously had to come home. http://www.knobcreek.com/assets/img/...el_reserve.png http://www.knobcreek.com/assets/img/...oked_maple.png I'm a big fan of the Knob Creek 9 year bourbon, so I figured I had to add the single barrel to my cabinet as well. Turns out they also have a new Maple, and I really enjoy Tap357...so I opted to add a bottle of Knob Creek Maple to the cabinet as well. Haven't opened either yet...but will get to it soon. -Dave |
I've been making Old Fashions with Knob Creek all month, pretty solid. |

Glengoyne 21. Tasted so good, half way through the bottle i went and bought 2 more. http://images.craigslist.org/00000_e...i3_600x450.jpg http://images.craigslist.org/00J0J_g...V0_600x450.jpg Also opened a extinct bottle of Green Label (taste like a wet rainforest. Yum), sold out martel, and great testing 1738 for a dinner. https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...ed&oe=56646A7A |
I've been on that dalmore 12 year. Delicious. I can't seem to keep any in the collection tho I always end up drinking it all LOL |
dalmore, yum. its what got my started drinking whisky. its kinda strange that the older bottles doesn't use any bourbon cask. 12 is very intense full body whisky. i always end up adding a few drops of water. i think bcliquor dropped their price on the 12 year too. good time to stock up |
Recently had the chance to try the entire line of Kavalan. The regular single barrel is horrible but the Soloist... :megusta: |
Didn't the soloist win #1 at the world whiskey awards. |
What made it so horrible? |
Lack of depth, smokey but not very smooth. I kind of feel they know what they are talking about by running with a music theme of whiskey labels, Soloist, Concertmaster, etc... Sounds cheesy but it was like a musical in my mouth lol. |
