Tonight before dinner, had some Buffalo Trace with Ginger Beer and a splash of lime juice. Nice, tasty little drink. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||

1 Glenlivet 18 and 1 Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” | |||

Last night was Stone RuinTen double IPA. Good but not great. Another one crammed with hops just for the sake of saying "OMG HOPS LOL!" | |||

I had a buddy send me a bottle of Eagle Rare as a gift a few years back. I had one drink out of it and gave it away. Its just not smooth enough for me. I thought it had a reasonably good flavor, just too much bite for my palate. I'm sipping on my usual: Three fingers of Crown over ice and a splash of water. Rinse and repeat. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

(laughs, not *at* you or rudely, truly, but about folks' tastes) You've got an interesting set o tastebuds and I think based on your comments here and there that you really just like bland-ish whiskey. Which is fine of course, drink whatever you like. I'm not fucking with you about it, just commenting about tastes / perception. You seem to default to Crown, which is really just a base of good (15yr) Bourbon that's watered down and "mellowed" with a bunch of less flavorful younger whiskeys, and you add water to it, and you've described Eagle Rare as being pretty much the exact opposite of what most think - which is, fwiw, that if Eagle Rare has any real "problem" it's that it's too mellow and a tad boring on follow up drinks / the second bottle / etc. Which all makes sense now... Seriously... No wonder you don't care for many other Bourbons and such, they all probably taste pretty bite-y. Perhaps it's the Rye (in most Bourbons) that is triggering such a response. Rye is fairly bite-y all things considered. Perhaps you'd like the Wheater Bourbons better? "Smoother" than Rye Bourbons for sure, in almost all cases. Try any Weller (the 12yr especially), Van Winkle (if you can find any, the 12yr especially), or regular Makers Mark... Those with a little water may not have the same bite to you. Maybe some Scotches too, some blends are super mellow and even some single malts such as Glenmorangie 10yr (which is good and popular but too mild for me, and I despise super peaty / iodine-y Scotches, fwiw, so I truly mean mellow here...). Anyway, food for thought. Cheers. | |||
