What Did You Drink Last Night?

[dh66]

Spurred on by a tip from @Touchofevil and after a good while of searching I finally came up with a bottle of Jack Daniels Barrel Proof. This particular batch weighs in at a little more than 129 proof and was put in the bottle January of this year. First impression is it's a lot sweeter tasting than regular Jack with also a hint of smokiness from the charred barrel. The burn hits the back of the throat nicely but doesn't linger in the belly. It's also a lot darker in color than Old #7 or even the single barrel select.

The last of the Bushmills Black (just teensy bit, not a lot, really), and then, to wind up the evening, some Elijah Craig.

I think, "Johnnie Black" is the most discussed booze in old Germany! Many love it, some hate it, but there's seemingly nothing between. I never testet it, maybe I should.

Any recommendations on Laphroaig?

A little JD #7 and a cold coors light

I am not sure what your experiences are with scotch, but I would recommend starting with the JW Black. Laphroaig is a favourite of mine, but it is an acquired taste.

Some of the actual tasting notes include for example iodine.

This below website might be worth a look. Beside that, try the standard bottlings 10s and 12s from the supermarked shelves, inexpensive and good. If you like it a little challenging, though less than any Laphroaig in a matter of peat, try a Talisker 10, not Skye, should be available around 30,- bucks, sometimes below.

Have fun trying...

Hi
Laphroaig is what I used to drink when I ate Smoked Cheddar, Summer Sausage and Crackers. VERY VERY peaty. Not at all sweet. The Cheaper laphroaig is decent. You might try to find it at a bar, a $10 drink is better than a $30 bottle if you turn out to hate it.

Tried the JD Tennessee Honey last night. Not bad stuff, put me to mind a little of my grandmother's homemade cold remedy, but definitely not something I could drink very much of. Had to break out some #7 to chase it down with.

A few nights ago, something called, “Jameson and the Giant Peach.” Jameson (obviously) and something peachy (obviously) plus other stuff (obviously). They were really good and too easy to drink so we had a couple of carafes. It was a really entertaining evening.

Because its warm and sunny, I am still on Spring Break, I am sitting out back on the deck, I am listening to a lot of The Drive-By Truckers, I thought, “why not have a few Angry Orchards?” So go figure, I did and I still am.

 

[Touchofevil]

Oh yeah, we started off the James and the Giant Peach evening with a round of really nicely done Old Fashioneds. Actually, there were a couple of ciders before that at the establishment next door. Smooth and a perfect start to a entertaining evening.

Yesterday was pretty warm in my part of the world and an opportunity to sit outside on the patio (actually a large balcony) and enjoy the sun sipping on a mint julep.

JW Black is my fall back drink....always have a bottle in the cupboard. Recently bought a bottle of the 15 yr old Green. It is a very nice dram and well worth the upcharge.
