Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

Yamazaki 12 is good stuff. Japanese oak gives it a character that's just a bit different than American or French oak. Hibiki 12 is another Japanese whiskey that used to be a favorite, but they quit making it. If you ever see it on a shelf somewhere, buy it; the Hibiki 17 is even more sublime. Seriously, they're some of the best whiskeys I've ever enjoyed.
Here's what I'm sipping tonight -
This is in the Double Double range that Dewar's brought to market a couple of years ago. This tastes nothing like any of the standard Dewar's blends and the flavor is much closer to a single malt or perhaps a malt blend than a traditional grain/malt blend. In the 21yo I get a lot of dark fruit, a bit of leather and a hint of old musty flavor that, oddly, tastes really good. In fact, this tastes like it contains whisky that's much older than 21 years. I've also tried the 27 and 32 year-old versions in this range, but the 21 is my favorite and for it's age, it is very, very reasonably priced.

I won’t drink this tonight, but it’s ready for a special occasion.
I've notice a few members who like to post in this thread. Must be good hooch...
Wonder what the angels share was on that barrel.
So new to me a Tequila I wanted to share.
Cazadores Añejo Cristalino.
It was at a family BBQ and everyone loved it except for me.
The reason I only got to have a smell was I was driving and regulated my drinking to about 4 beers throughout the entire evening.
I could tell by the aroma that my wife would end up driving and it was her turn to drink tequila not mine on the few occasions she drinks.
Anyway everyone loved it.

^ this. Started training with the plate carrier and level IV plates for a match in September. I forgot how hot this shit gets and it’s absolutely beautiful here today. Summer is going to be brutal.
Gonna run my dogs for an hours and then treat myself to a ribeye and a couple fingers of Willet Family Rye. ( 4 year, I’m a poor)
One of my absolute favorites.

Dog Fish 60 minute, followed by a 14 year Glenfiddich
Don’t judge me.... it’s been a long day...
I’ll just pee down one of those fancy ice sculptures into your mouth and save you the few bucks
My go to until winter, then I’ll switch to something with a little more peat.
I'm guessing that may be closer in style to Scotch or Irish rather than bourbon whiskey? How would you describe the flavor? The only American malt whiskey I've tried so far is McCarthy's Single Malt.
It’s distilled from the ingredients from the milk stout from Left Hand brewing so it’s not really like either, but it’s delicious. I didn’t really get a good tasting though, it’s really strong and I only put one ice cube in it
I'll need to keep an eye out for that next time I'm at a bigger store in the city.
A few WT 101's an older 8 year age stated 1792 and a pour from my bourbon "solera" bottle.
If you don't have one start. The last ounce or two out of a bottle pour into another bottle (screw top is best) and keep adding.
I keep them segregated by major type; bourbon, rye, peated scotch, unpeated scotch etc.

Mad dog 20/20 and Everclear… 
You know how to party.Mad dog 20/20 and Everclear…
I was in the Air Force.
Pacifco Claras with limes and salt.
Not sure why but the wife got me a bottle of Pendleton Rye today for our anniversary. Not good straight but goddamn it makes a great imperial Manhattan! She must have overheard I was dabbling in some heavier rye bourbons. At least she was listening after 22 years.
A friend gifted me this.
He has a hell of a collection, even some pappy.
Think I will finish my current barrel proof Tx first.
sun brewed ice tee with frozen water shaped like stars lol
where did you score this and can you get more?
I got a case locally, but the rest has been distributed in my circle.
gotcha, i just scored two weller 12's the other week. theres a white label at the store for 900.00 couldnt make myself spend it.
Screw that, I paid $60ea for the Full Proof. Weller ain't worth that kind of money. Even WLW.
There are several, most are some form of MGP/LDI though (not that there is anything wrong with it, but most of what is out there is a NDP, they didn't make it, MGP/LDI did, so is literaly the same thing despite what the label says). Wild Turkey Rare Breed Rye is something unique that fits that bill. Any of the actual Willett distilled small batch rye are as well. Their earlier stuff was all MGP/LDI.
My brothers and I brought some of our favorites to a recent get together. 
Batching it tonight.........bought a new one..........pretty good, reasonably priced.......
