Voltron Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) For science, I have made another Sazerac Cocktail with Sazerac 18 (2010). Also awesome, but with more rye bite than the elder Rittenhouse. Do I dare continue with Thos. Handy and Van Winkle Reserve Rye and maybe the Sazerac 18 (2009)? We shall see...

Voltron Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) For science! Handy is dandy, and its high proof makes me feel manly. Handy remains my favorite. So perfect in a Sazerac Cocktail. Edited September 9, 2011 by Voltron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Nice pallet of Sazeracs Al! That's some big science. The scotch selection is awe-inspiring as always Mikey. Good call on the Monte Carlo Marc, this may be next. Starting first with a Carthusian. Good shit Maynard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emelius Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) another New Belgium Lips of Faith Kick...I know what I said...but I just keep finding myself buying it...especially at $6.49 - my 10% discount... 2011 Sierra Nevada Bigfoot...not as mellow as the 2001 that I had on tap (!!!) not too long ago, but interesting enough to make me want to age some of it... finishing that Sun King Oktoberfest 4-pack... excited about tomorrow...one of my friends & I are having a tasting in the afternoon...he's going to have a couple beers on tap in his garage & I'm bringing quite a few bottles...we didn't make it public 'til today, so we've no idea who's attending... has anyone had this new Laphroaig Triple Wood yet??...thinking about buying a bottle...

mikeymad Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 has anyone had this new Laphroaig Triple Wood yet??...thinking about buying a bottle... It is a good beverage... I am a big fan of the quarter cask. With the 10yo, 10yo cask strength, and quarter cask, I will grab the QC 8/10 times.. Well the triplewood is pretty much the QC put in sherry casks (big fan) for a while. So it is not as much of a big peat monster as the 10yo CS. But more of a balanced beverage with additional sweet and spice notes. But let it be known I really like the combination of Sherry cask maturation and peat. So this beverage talks to me. But it is pricey, so you have to weigh that in. This envy is tasty. Agreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhjazz Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 BenRiach 1966 Rare Reserve. This one has kind of a cool story, bro. Stretch, that's the coolest story I've read in a long time. And a great ending as well. I can only imagine how wonderful the '66 must be across the tongue. Cheers, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
