    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Leaking cork? I did actually entertain the idea that my woe with Elijah Craig might be due to a leaking cork but that was before I went through maybe 20 semi-skunky bottles, all with the cork held in place with the plastic seal. In addition, at some point, I began to turn the bottles upside...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Elijah Craig was fine. At the risk of tooting my own horn I'll have to say that around this neck-o-the-wood I'm pretty close to the poster boy for Elijah Craig 12. I've enjoyed it for 5 years, maybe more, and over that time I've bought at least 100 bottles. It was a staple. About a year ago I...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Not really a medicine taste The aftertaste is a bit like spoiled wheat straw smells. Very unpleasant.

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Take note Mr. Rumblefish! This may be my last jar of Elijah Craig 12 as I have yet another "skunky" bottle in hand. Over the past year I've had way too many bottles of this stuff, which was once wonderful (to me), with this skunky taste. No mas. Again, this one has a sort of straw or grass...

    What is your vermouth brand of choice?

    Lillet Blanc I'm totally guilty of having first tried Lillet because of the reference made to it by Fleming. If it was good enough for Cmdr. Bond then I had to try it. That was years ago. Nowadays, I just like it. In my earlier post I danced around calling it vermouth because the wine snobs...

    What is your vermouth brand of choice?

    Lillet Blanc Which is probably only kinda-sorta vermouth but a little of it will not overpower the taste of your mega-chip gin, at least to my way of thinking.

    1930's Mallory Brown Derby

    Way too small. Bummer Brown Derby/Bowlers are not so common.

    My first attempt at shaping a hat and a new Stetson

    Mr Ezrydn - Photo sizing Perhaps what I have been mssing is that I need to save the photos within Photobucket in the size that I want to see them in the posting?

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Elijah Craig 12 Well...as you know from reading this forum, some people hate the stuff. I love it, but I also eat grits. One downside is that Craig 12's price has ratcheted up over the past couple years. It was once a steal. I guess that marketing reeled me in. Still at +/- 20 bucks it's not...

    Outta bourbon!!!! Good grief Mr Fish, that is an unacceptable condition. Elijah Craig 12--a non-skunky bottle--and a bit of ice. Excellent.

    My first attempt at shaping a hat and a new Stetson

    Nice Hat Mr Ezrydn I've got an old beater campaign hat and I've been trying to train the brim in a style similar to yours. I'm not there yet. Blackhorse? :offtopic: I have posted a few photos but mine turn out the size of an avatar. How do you make them a nice size like the ones you...

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    Mr Past, if acid is a problem If acid is a problem for you with ordinary pickled eggs then by all means avoid the version of pickled eggs (rooster bullets) with the bits of jalapenos swimming about in the jar. A couple of those eggs with a Lucky Strike both washed down with a Pabst or two...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I hope not an equal part of the orange bitters! This drink looks to be something I need to try. I wonder why Hendricks gin given all the other tastes going into the shaker? It seems that the subtle cucumber taste in the Hendricks would disappear.

    Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?

    I'm right there with you Mr. Pockets. I especially like the places with 20 or more TVs which have 10 different programs going, all blasting at once, and with that noise being drowned out by the kind of people you describe above. There is more peace on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Once upon a...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Four Roses Single Barrel and a bit of ice Now that this bottling is available reasonably near my town, and so it is replaceable, I allowed myself to open the one bottle I had on hand. Not too shabby. There is, however, some taste I cannot figure out. I thought about getting my supertaster wife...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    I have not tried the Russell's Reserve Rye I like the Bourbon so I must try the Rye. Is it available in the NC ABC stores? For me last night it was a couple martinis, Boodles this time with just a little Lillet Blanc and a nicely trimmed lemon twist. Anymore it seems, many barkeeps don't...

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    Fish & Chips in NC Probably not on par with the UK but passable fish & chips can be found in Asheville, NC at Jack o the Wood. JotW also has the swell Green Man ESB. A couple pints of that makes the F&C even better. Closer to where I live near Mooresville, is Joe's Fish. Mr. Fish serves up F&C...
