Jon's Queen Consort Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Right now: my cousin's xinomavro (greek wine)Jon's Queen Consort, I'm a big fan of the blue label, but I'm talking about whiskey in the 20-25€ price range. :) I see sorry my mistake. :stillsick:I also enjoy Dimple, Chivas or Ballantine's at this price range.

Adamastor Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 There are some fantastic single malts in that price bracket. They have the added advantage of actually tasting of something. :PWhat do you recommend? I'm always fond of trying new things. Please bear in mind I'd rather not go over 25€ for a bottle. :) I take you prefer single over blended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lagunitas Maximus Ale 8.2 % alcohol content of delicioius nectar of the gods. It's helping take the edge off my disappointment upon learning that a certain character on season 3 of an HBO show will not be played by Henry Ian Cusick.

wolverine Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Johnnie Walker Blue. Cheers :cheers:You mean from the cask? If so yes.I can't drink beers from cans. I just can't. It's like the fact that I only drink dark beer.Do you have a keg at home or do you not drink beer at home? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon's Queen Consort Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Do you have a keg at home or do you not drink beer at home? I wish I had. I have casks of wine though :drunk: .I have a friend who has a beer pub, where I go when I want a good beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hereward Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 What do you recommend? I'm always fond of trying new things. Please bear in mind I'd rather not go over 25€ for a bottle. :) I take you prefer single over blended?I won't drink blended, not without a mixer anyway, though I've tried pretty much all the blends, including the full JW range.I take back my comment, though. I've checked Portuguese whisky shops and single malt is really pricy. I'd assumed you could get things at roughly the same price as in France. I was very wrong.If you're ever in duty free, though, I'd recommend a Highland Park or a Glenlivet, and maybe even a Glenmorangie as good, basic, unextreme malts to start you off. If you're feeling adventurous, try an Ardbeg or a Caol Ila for a peaty expression, or an Aberlour or Glenfarclas for a rich, sherried expression, though these will be pricier. Bowmore would be a good compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamastor Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'll most certainly be checking these out, especially Highland Park and Aberlour. My favorite single malt seems to be the 16 year old Bushmills, but it's rather expensive. And it's whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well, Sam Summer is gone for the year. Octoberfest is here and it seems like they made it a little lighter this year. Not normally a fan of it but liking this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowleo Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I've tried, really, but I simply do not like beer. So it's Hornsby's dry cider and Smirnoff "premium flavored malt beverages" this evening.snow "pump and dump" leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minaku Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Water for me. In the mornings, I have a new batch of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe Kochere. It's great, very light and floral. I still cannot figure out how much sugar to put in it or how much cream, or if I should just drink it black on account of its lightness. A hint of sugar brings out complex notes, too much sugar kills it. A hint of cream makes it incredibly smooth and drinkable, more cream drowns out the flavors. Looking for that perfect balance.

Monday Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Smirnoff Blueberry & Lemonade with a bunch of mint leaves. It's freaking magical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the maid of woodlynne Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sam Adams Fat Jack - yes, I'm drinking yet another pumpkin ale. This one is boring, and it's clearly not meant to come up to room temperature because as it does it loses all it's flavor. Bleh. Still better than the voodoo donut, though. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLU-RAY Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Caol IlaDrink this, O Ye Who Seek Whisky Advice, because it's fucking awesome.Anyhow, as mentioned, I will be drinking beer this week. Unfortunately, Munich's favored style is apparently Weissbier, which isn't my favorite, but I'll try a few and compensate with dunkels.Last weekend, one of my closest friends got married. When I moved to KY, I had visions of bringing a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle for the wedding... hahahahahaha. Anyway, I brought a bottle of Jefferson's Presidential Select (I think it was Batch 26 or 27, and I no longer have the bottle). It was spectacular. I'll be getting my name on a list for a bottle of Pappy's fall release, though (in NJ, though, I think I'd have to commit a murder to get on a list in Kentucky), and will crack that when another buddy gets back from Afghanistan this fall/winter.
