Your favorate libation

[Wklink]

My brother has me hooked on single malt scotch. Not an alcoholic addiction, just I really like a good single malt scotch. Right now I am sampling a MacCallan single Malt that is really tasty but a little too strong. I made the mistake of getting cask strength, which is about 15% stronger than regular single malts. You wouldn't think 10% would mean much until you try drinking it. I like the flavor, don't like the results.

What is your favorate drink on those nights that you are not out behind the wheel. I'm talking your favorate whisky, liquer, whatever. It doesn't have to be alcoholic, just what you relax with. I gave up cigars about four years ago after coming back from Iraq. I decided they werent good for me. Ok, my wife decided and I agreed. So a good whisky is the only vice I have left. I figure at this point of my life I should enjoy the good stuff in life.

Let me know what you think is the 'good' stuff in life. Whether it is coffee, cigars, whiskey, beer, or even soda it is nice to know what we enjoy outside of the axle grease and tranny fluid that we always seem to wear under our finger nails.

A 'Thunderbird' is owned by a discriminating individual. Lets see what you recommend for us high class individuals. Or at least for us folks that try to perpetrate the fraud

Not all of us Thunderbirders are so hi class,
Unfortunately, another favorite activity is baseball with a cold brew, which competes for Thunderbird time.

Nothing wrong with that. I plan on taking my son to Opening Day for the Mariners. I don't drink beer at the ballpark with him though, I get so fearful I will get into a wreck on the way home and he will get hurt. Even if I have one I am afraid. Although I did have a beer at Wrigley Field last year. I grew up a Cub fan (originally from Illinois) and always wanted to have a beer at Wrigley.

Hi All,
Bob, my husband would agree with the single malt. (He would, he's Irish) BUT we spent a weekend in downtown Louisville Kentucky last year at a hotel that boasted a bourbon bar that served 150 different brands of bourbon... I was in heaven!!! Got though about 20 different kinds over the entire LONG weekend. I can't get a good variety of bourbon in the Chicago area... they are beer, Scotch and Vodka drinkers here.

Basil Haydens. Simply marvelous. smooth... dangerously so. Nice finish, no strong after taste. Buy a bottle of this. You will never look at Jim Beam the same.

I might do that.

To be honest I haven't been able to drink Jim Beam since an incident when I was 19 years old. It involved a Bon Jovi concert (yes, you have to be drunk to attend one of these-it actually makes it almost tolerable), a girl, a fifth of Beam and I don't remember much after that. I do know that I was supposedly more entertaining than the concert.

I am something of an aberration in drinking. I used to get plastered constantly from the age of 15 up until I turned 21. Once I became 'legal' it became less fun and I stopped doing it. I drink rarely anymore.

I could tell last night for sure. We went to a Rib joint and I had a microbrew there, something about 10% alcohol. I started on a second (this was before dinner arrived) and had to stop because of the head rush. I didn't get a third but after that I gave my wife the keys (she was drinking lemonade). I figure even if I am 'fine' when I leave I don't take any chances. Boy have I changed.

I am such a liteweight anymore. It is good in a way though, that bottle of scotch that I am talking about is still about half full after owning it for two months.

In my opinion and my opinion only, nothing beats a Meyer's Rum and Pepsi!!

[VicRattlehead]
