Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What're we drinking this evening ??

lol,...but seriously. You might want to try Grey Goose. It's vodka, of course,...but it has a juniper "whang" to it.

[quote=gunzo I'm thinking I might want to explore Gin. But rarely ever seeing it mentioned here. Whats up ?[/quote]

My son & his bride to be like Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin. I bought some Fenimore from the Cooperstown Distillery up the road that was pretty good too. Our experts (drunks) at camp liked Bombay Sapphire. Gin seems to be more of a Summer drink to me.

Agreed, a wonderful summer drink come to think of it.

Switching from ice cold brews in hot weather to Bourbon or the derivatives in cold weather is par, & many friends do so. However I robbed myself of this tradition about 40 years ago when I tried to drink it all one night. My body still shivers at just the smell of Rye, Bourbon & Scotch.

What's an adventurous man to do?

Had a small cup of saki with supper and a night cap of Old Forester Rye. The rye has more of an edge than the good Iowa stuff, but passable on a cold winter night.

Have you tried the Grouse Smoky Black? It's definitely smoky, and to me smooth. Like it.

Had that many moons ago but can't quite place what city. Thinking it was Kansas City, KS but maybe not. Anyhow, they're definitely onto something with the pineapple martinis. And the steaks ain't half bad either.

First house I bought after the dee-eye-vee-oh-ar-cee-e called for a small celebration. Real estate agent and her husband were and are good friends so we just did all the paperwork at my apartment. Was quite sometime back. Little lady, one of the finest I've ever known except for the bad times, was there to help with the party. Unfortunately by the time I signed on the final line and drank the last of the Tanqueray the world was spinning backwards and the whole place looked upside down. Not sure exactly how I conducted myself after that but the next morning had it explained to me that it was totally unacceptable. I can't even look at a green bottle anymore. Was one of the lessons that greatly affected my drinking habits and how to treat a lady. And I'll never drink gin again. Country song in there somewhere.

Ardbeg.

And just to wrap up my commentary for tonight, it's a wee dram of Evan Williams Bonded wetting my whistle. Have my fire suit on so let me have it. To me it's a lot like the 7x57. Kills way above it's pay grade. If you've not had the white label it's certainly worth a try. Mine tonight is straight with a couple small ice cubes. Had a fine surprise when I walked in the ABC. The Bonded big jug was on special red tag at $24.95. Just this year had it explained what Bonded means. Seems twas a way for our Feds to keep folks on track as to what was being put in the bottles. It has to be from a single distillery, from a single distilling season, aged 4 years or more and be 100 proof. A fair recipe. Not a $100 dollar bottle but quite nice. Good night y'all

In this clip, you can see Tom chasing after me as I drive off into the sunset...

And didn’t spill a drop.

APPLE JACK SHINE

Was eating alligator and drinking Pepsi. "She who must be obeyed" usually doesn't let me drink. It's for the good of all concerned. PTSD, and I just don't play well with others. Water or a big cold glass of milk is great too. Be Well, Rustyzipper.

PowerAde because I had too much tequila last night!

Last night was a quart of raw cows milk with the last of the chili I had been eating on all week since I got back, good chili, with jalapenos and cold milk makes a fine winter time supper, a coffee kicker before loading the stove with back logs and hitting the sack.
