ubkev Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Just picked up a bottle of Bird Dog chocolate flavored whiskey. It was on sale, so I snagged it. We'll see... Anyone ever had it? Quote
Cityo'Rasmii Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 If anyone like's rye whiskey I would strongly recommend Knob Creek :flirt: Quote
darksabre Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 This year's treat for our Christmas gathering is a homemade Americanized version of Irish cream. Whip 3 eggs until good and fluffy. With the mixer still running, add 2 cups of bourbon (or keep it traditional with Irish whiskey), 1 can of sweetened condensed milk, an equal amount of heavy cream, 1 Tbls of Hershey's chocolate syrup, and 1 Tsp of vanilla extract. Supposedly it will last for a few weeks in the fridge. I bet it doesn't last the day. It has a texture like egg nog. Sub half and half for the heavy cream and it lightens up a bit. I used Evan Williams and half and half, and evaporated milk + 1 cup sugar instead of the sweetened condensed milk. The chocolate flavor is subtle. It is dangerously delicious. Sounds like a great post-workout shake. Quote

ubkev Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 That doesn't sound good at all. It sounded better than peach to me. Impulse buy. Right next to the register. Quote
Weave Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 It sounded better than peach to me. Impulse buy. Right next to the register. Next to the Kit Kats and Orbit gum packs? Quote
ubkev Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 Next to the Kit Kats and Orbit gum packs? They sell gum and kit kits at your liquor store? Lucky! Quote
Weave Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 They sell gum and kit kits at your liquor store? Lucky! That probably came out more condescending than intended, but I had to have some fun with the marketing that put chocolate flavored liquor in the same area that results in so many parents buying candy to shut their kids up. Kids and their sweet tooth. :P Quote

Kids and their sweet tooth. :P I don't eat sweets(fudge shop cookies not withstanding)! But I don't like fruity booze. I went in to buy Buffalo Trace, I found a coupon which brought the bird dog chocolate down to 12 bucks so I grabbed it in a "eh, why not" moment. Just had a small taste...I'm not sure about it. The chocolate is definitely right there. Wasn't awful. Will probably finish the bottle. Quote
ubkev Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) OK, upon further review: chocolate booze is sweet as fcuk! Too much. Reminds me of the time a buddy of mine made honey flavored vodka with the honey from his bee hives and we spent 2 hours after work drinking shots out of Dixie cups in the parking lot behind a diner at 3am.

He should have fermented the honey first... just saying. :) Quote

DarthEbriate Posted January 24, 2017 Report Posted January 24, 2017 It won't be for everyone's palate (it's sharp), but this Ebriate enjoys Penderyn. I first had it in Wales at the base of the hill in Harlech with a lamb shank (what else?). Found that Total Wine & More carries it here in the Seattle area. Madeira casks. Smooth finish if you can hang with; like I said, kind of sharp up front. I typically add a splash (1/2 tsp) of water to open it up. Quote
nobody Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Over 2 months and no whiskey talk? Boy, haven't missed much have I? Should I buy the Weller SR 1.75 for $48? Not really a great value pour anymore. BIB seems to be the way to go nowadays. Quote

nobody Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 BIB? Bottled in Bond Basic key parts of BIB are must be 100 proof and aged a minimum of 4 years. Many of them are just plain tasty and good values. Quote

I-90 W Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Back in my drinking days I liked Evan Williams bourbon, black label. The green label is not even close. Low bar end bourbon but it's smooth. Quote
Samson's Flow Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Sadly I have a contractor working on remodeling my living room, and when moving all the furniture into the dining room, I made the unfortunate decision to pile all the furniture in front of the liquor cabinet. :( Spring porch drinking can't come soon enough...

Not really a great value pour anymore. BIB seems to be the way to go nowadays. Weller is still one of my favs, but no, its not a value pour anymore. That price works out to about $27 per liter. Thats not too bad, but not like the golden days. Quote
ubkev Posted April 30, 2017 Report Posted April 30, 2017 Wild Turkey is in season.... Here we go Quote
Wyldnwoody44 Posted April 30, 2017 Report Posted April 30, 2017 Any ever have teeling, single grain cabernet cask.... It's simply delicious, when your pour it, it looks light, and almost like it's going to disappoint, but that flavor... Damn, the cask is hard to get, I have a friend that is a distributor and I always get a call when this or then nice pappy VW is available. Quote
Weave Posted April 30, 2017 Report Posted April 30, 2017 Do Mint Juleps count in a whiskey thread? Cuz I am drinking the hell out of them this afternoon..... Quote
