Last night it was Old Fashions made with Jack Daniels Triple Mash, bitters and my homemade brown sugar simple syrup.

rat2306Spaten Oktoberfest. Marzen. Going to have two, it was not a very good day.
The German brews have began arriving in Safeway now. Halloween candy beat it to the punch by two weeks.

konata88No pic but I had a Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned last night. First in a long while. Enjoyed it. Better since someone else picked up the bill. Cocktails are now $16?

KSGMWould it appropriate to offer a bottle of scotch for sale in this thread? I have an ongoing ad in the classifieds, but it's gun stuff. I figure the audience for the scotch is in this thread.

This is what I usually order.
And around here $16 is about the usual price.

Monkey Shoulder scotch for me last night

konata88I like Monkey Shoulder. I've wondered how an Old Fashioned with Monkey Shoulder would be.

It had been a while since I had an Old Fashioned...
We recently went on vacation with my two daughters and my younger daughter turned me on to Old Fashioneds. Woodford Reserve makes a fine Old Fashioned!

sig operatorKonata88, I do not know if the bitters and sugar would play well with the Monkey Shoulder flavor or hide it. Maybe you can take one for the team and try it.
My son made me a smoked old fashioned with a nice bourbon and things got a little lost in the taste test.
On the other hand, I really like old fashioneds and whiskey sours made with Old Overholt rye.

jer830Good to see Grumpy. I always like your pics of the Sam Adams this time of the year. I’m on the lookout for some here but haven’t found any yet. Cheers!

GT-40DOCTonight will be a plain old Jack Daniels Black Label straight Tenn. whiskey. It is good to visit old friends from time to time.

rat2306Had some great news today (and some bad, but not like Tuesday), so out of the fridge will come another Spaten Oktoberfest. Only place I've seen with Sam Adams Octoberfest (thus far) was at Costco this morning.

stylophilesGot a bit fancy and made a blueberry whiskey creation:
Whiskey, Hypnotique, Curaçao, and a little club soda, drop in a few fresh blueberries.
Bit on the sweet side, but it looks “fabulous”!
Other choice was an Old Fashioned made with Earl Grey infused Bourbon, lemon bitters, with a dried lemon garnish. Way more traditional, but still a nice change up from a plain old fashioned…

KSGMI did add that bottle of scotch to my ad in the classifieds, for those who may be interested.

I love the looks of the blue creation, but I had to comment on the glass pattern of the 2nd! I think it matches a piece or two of mine, but iirc they are vases- very cool glass!
