What Did You Drink Last Night?

[SteveAS]

Diplomatico rum. I generally like this very much, but it seemed sweeter than I'd have liked last night. [huh]

 

[Absinthe_1900]

I think I read that somewhere.

Imagine that...

Goodbye 90 proof, hello 120 proof???
Please keep us posted!

The contemporary 90 proof Herbsaint will still be available, as it has uses in cocktails and cooking.

The Herbsaint Original, is available at 100 proof, just like it was in the 1930s and 1940s, which makes an excellent stand alone drink, and an even better cocktail ingredient.

Something limited, may appear at a bit higher proof.

I had some 10 year old Bual Madeira.

 

[jamespowers]

Glenfiddich.

 

[SteveAS]

William LaRue Weller, neat. :eusa_clap

Which one? The 12 year old, Barrel Proof, etc.

Which one? The 12 year old, Barrel Proof, etc.

I believe there is only one William LaRue Weller (per year): the barrel proof wheated whiskey that's part of the Antique Collection. The one I had last night was the 2009 edition. I believe the other Wellers are marked W.L. Weller.

A cheeky glass of Pineau des Charentes

Chivas 18...neat

 

[Sincerely-Dee]

I had a Lager Shandy

 

[jamespowers]

Blue Whale cocktail.

 

[Rock31]

Stone Ruination IPA.

 

[Jack Scorpion]

A Pacific @Happy Hour.

Basically cognac and curacao, and way too much of the latter. You know there's a problem when a cognac drink is still bright blue.

 

[SteveAS]

A little Ardbeg Uigeadail, followed by a little Talisker 57 North. Both were very good, but the Talisker was better.

Sounds a little like the Blue Whale
1 ounce blue curacao
2 ounce rum
splash of pineapple juice

Shake with ice and serve in a collins glass with ice and you are set. This mix keeps the drink a little less than bright blue and tastes fairly good. :cheers1:

A brandy and soda while grilling the burgers.

Ron Zacapa neat

I met the head of Zacapa at a rum event a couple months ago. I told him that while I adored his 23, it had a real problem with evaporation. He looked mortified until one of his lieutenants started laughing...........He ended up giving me a bottle of the XO and a t-shirt. I still prefer the 23.
