Your favorite Scotch? Your Favorite liquor in general?

[jamespowers]

You catch on quick, JP.

Oh, I caught on long ago. Vodka is not to be toyed with. Belvedere anyone? Triple distilled and then filtered a few times. Tastes like water but it makes a decent Bloody Mary too.

Regards,

J

I had some extremely good stuff last weekend. Tasty, smooth, warming. It came out of a mason jar, though.

And when you were done, the rest went into the gas tank to get you home.
Did the jar have the lightning bolt on it?

Regards,

J

fftopic: You're kidding! Where? In Providencia? Las Condes? The barrio alto?




Not to mention that it's a great-looking place. Very nautically Neruda-esque.


.

We had an apartment on Maria Luisa Santander in Providencia so Barrio Bellavista was a 15 minute walk over the bridge. We used to hang around that corner with Azul Profundo a lot as we ate there several times a week (such good food) and used to have a few tipples over at Liebowski bar.

Did you live there as well Marc? I love Santiago, great place.

 

[Smithy]

Last fftopic: for me too...

We might have to start a Santiago thread to have a bit of a reminisce about the place...

I see you haven't tried Hill's Czech absinthe yet. :eusa_doh: .

There is much worse than swHill's beware of Czechsinthe King of Spirits or Yard Clippings in a bottle.

 

[Chanfan]

What, no CYNAR? It's only the best-selling artichoke liqueur in the world!

Well, OK then. Excuse the messy fridge.

Uh, no thanks but you can hand me a beer while you have the door open.

That Lillett Blanc in the fridge goes good in a Martini with Junipero brand Gin, and a dash of Regan's Orange bitters.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I was looking at the peanut butter. lol

[BegintheBeguine]

Mmm, Campari.

Gimme one of each. Including the Redi-Whip.

 

[Absinthe_1900]

I'd post a picture of my entire liquor cabinet, but Marc C. might get over excited. (It's very green)

 

[scotrace]

That jar of jam was made about 25 miles from me.

 

[Chanfan]

I must admit, I'm green with envy - haven't tried la fey verte yet.

Here's the bar cart:

I disclaim any of the cheap (or even expensive) champaign, tho' - it's not my thing.

My old landlord gave me the key to a mysterious cabinet in a dark and dank room in the basement, and said I could have the contents. Lo and behold about 50 bottles of misc alcohol that hadn't seen the light of day in at least 40 years. There was an unopened bottle of Bacardi Rum, made in CUBA. (Still unopened.) Several bottles of Hennessy, misc odd Israeli wines and bizarre liqueurs. There was a bottle of Old Forrester, and a bottle of Martin's blended scotch. Nothing to write home about, but tolerable. There was a bottle of rum manufactured in Brooklyn, that was an evil inky color. I managed to hold onto most of it.
My favorite Scotch would have to be Macallan 24 year old. I nearly killed myself many decades go on an infamous New Year's Eve, consuming most of a bottle of Champagne, and about half a bottle of Laphroaig. Now that was the mother of ll hangovers.

 

[dhermann1]

Etc.

Since we're covering the waterfront here, ladies, did you know that gin is good for period cramps? True. It's the juniper berries.

 

[Harp]

CVSR Brandy, which I could use a double dose of right now.

But I don't imagine being drunk for a week each month would go over well..........
lol

Another Macallan drinker here (it's expensive in my area so it's an occasional indulgence), and my mixer of choice is SoHo and seven nummy stuff.

My faves

Put me down for a double Wild Turkey vintage and then when I wake up give me a nice Cuervo Anejo en la botella triangular. Did I mention the Mojito as the breakfast juice????/

Our liquor collection

Aerial view:

I think my favorites out of this group for now are the Hennessy XO, Glenrothes and Isle of Jura, although the Apple brandy is also quite good.

and just for a change of pace, our fridge:

(yes it is all beer-but notice the random oj in the back for contrast )

we can't help it, we're brewers!
