Maggie’s What are you drinking right now!?

[db2000]

VERY hard to find around here.. I have one but have yet to crack it.. is it worth the anxiety and $120 I paid for it?

That’s an incredible find for $120. $500 is on the cheap side for this. I love it but if you’ve had the more common 4 year and it’s not really your thing, you could potentially trade it for something you really love in the $500-$800 range. Not everyone loves Willett. I do.

Oh dang. Yeah mines a 10 year. $120 is pretty steep for the 4 year but if it’s that hard to find where you’re at and you can’t order online then I’d say just crack it and enjoy hopefully!

Bookers 2023-04 for me tonight after drinking Redemption Rye store pick all night last night at a party.

 

[bkglock]

Picked up these today. I've had other Zayas before and really liked them, but haven't had this one yet.
Haven't had any Appletons yet.

 

[91Eunozs]

Cue The Eagles music…

This is like my 3rd or 4th favorite tequila, but the first bottle I hit in the liquor cabinet. Smokey undertone, and a little drizzle of maraschino cherry juice instead of grenadine makes for a shockingly tasty tequila sunrise; honestly can’t recall ever using this in a mixed drink, but a nice combo.

Would drink again!


And might tonight depending on how long I can stand to stay up watching the playoffs! LoL

About to crack this gem and see what it’s about

I know you appreciate some Bookers. Have you had the Bakers 7? Was told it’s a watered down same mash bill but haven’t confirmed.

I have. I actually think I have a bottle of it somewhere on one of the shelves but maybe I finished it. It was a solid daily drinker. Wasnt as good as it was hyped up to me by someone but nothing wrong with it, solid sipper.

 

[Maggot]

My first cup of coffee.

Try the Barrel Select and/or Reserve if you have a chance. I have a 114.9 proof Reserve that’s delicious

 

[Crgchck]

Surprisingly good.. was very inexpensive but really good.

 

[Grizz3153]

Don't usually drink during the day but I'm retired and put some Drambuie in my cofee this morning. Best of both worlds.

 

[db2000]

ER finish w/ a store pick ER 10 yr.

Is that how it looks after a double that was two fingers deep each time?

JK.

Looks like it tastes good.

 

[91Eunozs]

Had these at a dinner party with my wife’s co-workers last night and fell in love with this drink.

Having them again tonight with taco salads and tapas at home to kick off my weekend (today was my ‘Friday’)…

I don’t like olives but can get behind a Margarita w/ great ingredients!
I’m not familiar with Cantera Negra but they seem additive free and definitely worth checking out. Thanks!

Cantera Negra is actually my favorite tequila. Not as smooth as Classe Azul or a couple others, but very nice balance between a smoky agave flavor, and a bit of a proof burn that makes it taste so damn good!

Everything’s better after 2 fingers deep.. I consider it a primer

Old Carter Batch 14. So good

not available (that I could find in a local grocery store) in the area I am in (set up at a gunshow) so I settled for Guinness tonight

 

[db2000]

Defuckinglicious

 

[Grizz3153]

I really like the Redbreast 12 Cask Strength but it is a little expensive. I'm saving the last 20% of the bottle I have for St. Patrick's Day. I have a bottle of Redbreast 12 year that I will drink until then. Curious about the Tawny Port Cask now.

I had coffee and Drambuie earlier (heavy on the Drambuie) followed by a power nap.

 

[Labanaktis]

Expensive?

 

[mountaineer178]

hadn't heard of the RB Tawny... just found one online at a not so horrible price - looking forward to getting it!

Took an extra day off work before my ‘weekend’ starts to ‘watch’ the contractor dudes put a new door in, and decided to get an early start on the medicinal beverage intake.

Really liking these dirty Mexican’s lately!

2 parts decent tequila
1 part orange liquor (I prefer Cointreau or Gran Marnier)
1 part lime juice (lemon works too)
1/2 part olive brine
-splash of oj if you like it a bit sweeter

Shaken over ice and traditionally served in a martini glass with a couple olives and/or pearl onions. I’m lazy, so I just dropped a couple olives in a glass and poured the drink over them…will be an extra side dish at the end! LoL

…seems an odd pairing, but the perfect accompaniment to a fresh panini with olive tapenade, and some salty sides.

High as a kite on green tea right now.

Yessir. This is my third auction with the same group. It’s run by Sotheby’s. Everything bubble wrapped in duplicate. The cellar aged was in an air bladder

I use dill pickle juice instead of olive brine.

I agree, he comes across as arrogant to me. I did enjoy the book.

I didn’t get the arrogance and to be fair he just lost his wife to cancer, shortly after losing their only child in a one-car accident. So he was going through some seriously deep shit, make no mistake.
