Actually, I heard the Absinthe ban was recently lifted. But, I haven't looked in to it any further. I had a bottle and I'll be honest. It tastes like sh!t and doesnt do a damn thing except get you drunk.

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Why was it banned? If it was, it must be good. :D

Is that where they put a sugar cube in it and mix it with a silver spoon?

I think I saw Sutherland do that on Cold Mountain.

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I heard that! I brought back 4 bottles from Russia last year and it was rough! I was glad to see the end of it once it was gone.

I dont think it needs to be banned as it really didnt do anything cool. Just a mellow drunk..

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

We ordered ours from Liquors de France.

It was banned because the worm wood is a hallucinagenic.

Europe just lifted the ban a couple of years ago.

There are different kinds, also. The first bottle we got was a great gift, but used a different wood and is legal in the US.

This second one is the real deal. You can even order old, original bottles that have been discovered over time.

The key is proper preparation so it won't taste bad.

Tonight on Nat Geo, Moonshine. After all, that's whiskey.

Hey, if it wasn't for prohibition, there may not be NASCAR.:jump:

Maybe I should send you some Virginia Lightning.

OK, nevermind. They keep talking about big business Virginia operations pulling in $50k a week. :eek:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I started out with JD, then went to Wild Turkey, and have settled on Crown Royal. Very Smooth. Crown on the rocks. Very nice.

My buddy likes Basil Hayden, Bookers, and Bakers. A bit more expensive.

Absinthe sounds fun. It is the next thing to try. My favorite quote about it...

?Got tight last night on absinthe. Did knife tricks.? ?Hemingway

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

So tonight I'm drinking good 'ol JD.

But this time I'm doing it ON THE ROCKS so Dennis doesn't consider me a hobo. :jump:

I also broke into the bottle of Jim Beam tonight. I'm not all that impressed. Maybe I'm just not a bourbon drinker. The sour mash is doing me some goooood though. :D :D

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I'm on Martinis tonight. Shaken. Not stirred.:jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I just took a 1 gallon bag and loaded it up with ice cubes from our upstairs fridge and put it in our downstairs freezer. Now I don't have to walk upstairs to get ice for my JD. I even bought plastic cups so I don't ever have to leave my basement or garage. :jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Well.....I'm upgrading my inventory.

Here's today's purchases:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

All that money, time and energy building that place and you didn't have a water line run for an ice maker? What a turd.:giggling:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

:jump::OWNED::jump::OWNED::jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I already have the water line to the garage. Now you're giving me an idea! :jump:

Supersize me... With whiskey.:jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

AAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!! That's brutal.:jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

More purchases this week. I gotta have something to do while I'm in Texas. :D

I'm intrigued by Rye whiskey. At first it's a little standoffish, but I can see myself liking the pepper taste after a while. We'll see.

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Nice call on the Beam black. Your damn lucky you didnt wind up in a dry county down in Tx. :) How far are you from the local AA center? :D :beerchug:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

:jump:

Just sippin' man, just sippin. :beerchug:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Crown XR. hard to find, but worth every dollar. Just add 2 or 3 ice cubes!

If you cant find it in a local LQ, let em know... i know some people :D

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Crown XR is about as rare here in Canada as getting Cuban cigars at my local market.:giggling:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I was just reading about XR. I think I need me some of that!


But my next bottle is going to be George Dickels. I need to taste that other Tennessee whiskey.

I consulted the Orcale last night (Wikipedia) and she told me all about whiskey. :jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

So mr. let me rub it in some more... wanna send me some crown limited?

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Dickel is good stuff. I cant believe I forgot to mention that brand.

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

All I have to say on this subject is. . . . .

" If it's not Scottish it's Crap!"

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I think most whiskey drinkers will agree !

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I don't know?There seem to be a lot of "Loonies" on this forum that think Canasia is good for something other than oil. :giggling:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

SNL
:dancingbanana:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Yep. Good Scotch is best.

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

I can't do it....

My favorite is Glenfiddich! But I can't call a full-glass of Knob Creek Kentucky bourbon on the rocks, with a water chaser -- crap!

Hell it still tastes good after the alcohol's been burned off! You know, pour some in a pan and burn the alcohol off. Then put what's left into BBQ sauce -- for pork ribs!

Don't give me any lip about alcohol abuse either! It's only abuse if there isn't enough for everyone to get their drink-on!

Damn, I'm getting thirsty! Hmmm.

:beerchug:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

you need to be wooped...

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Knob Creek is 100 proof. If I wanted to make rib jerky I'd baste them with it!

I think they'd turn out a wee bit on the "crispy critter" side after basting them in that much alcohol. I'll stick to what I know to be a proven recipe.

Banned! Ha, as far as me getting banned for 33 minutes, your true color is starting to show, there's a little bit of French in the RYD?! Tell the truth, you've slept with a Frenchmen.

:jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Hey Frenchie,

On second thought, NO, don't tell us!

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Tonight I'm on the Johnny Walker Black. Mmmmmm. Good stuff.

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Don't listen to RYD.

Anyone who favors Glenfiddich should be immuned from bannation IMO.:jump::beerchug:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

CC & 7 tonight.:D

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

Ha! After my JW Black, I switched to Seagram's 7 & 7!!!!

Our worlds are aligning. Pretty soon we should ban someone. :jump:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

ROTFLMFAO!!!!

OK, in an hour. Let's ban DRTYFN.:clapping:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

If you have not already, try whiskey with ginger ale. Crown goes awesome with ginger ale. :beerchug:

Re: In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......
 

It's time! :jump:
