"Go To" Alcohols

[7mm08mo]

Beer: Kurs banquet or lite is my go to. Always have a 6er of longboat bobbers, Big piney black walnut, and fat tire if the mood strikes. The bobber and walnut are Missouri made.

Bourbon: Buffalo trace is daily driver and very delicious. On rocks or old fashioned, or Manhattan. No soda. Wellers or 4 roses if trace isn’t available.

Wine: can’t stand it. Only one I’ve even remotely liked was aged in a bourbon barrel.

Whiskey: I like bourbon.

Tequila: no thanks

Rum: generic captain, or Cruzan.

Vodka: Tito’s

Scotch: never been a fan but maybe my tastes have changed now that I’m 43, gonna have to give it a try.

[MO Betta]

Beer: Straffe Hendrik Quadrupel unless it's the middle of summer, generally grab Boulevard Wheat on those hot days but will drink about anything if it's cold (except IPAs).
Irish: Jameson Black or Redbreast
Scotch: Glenmorangie 10 normally, Macallan 18 when I'm feeling spendy.
Bourbon: Blanton's or Basil Hayden's
Vodka: Mostly in dirty (filthy) martinis with blue cheese olives/brine - Tito's, Ketel One if I feel like drinking it straight.
Wine: Don't delve into them to be honest.

 

[MO Betta]

Beer: Has to be dark, Porters and stouts. Mostly Black Butte Porter right now.
Hard stuff: Mostly Rum and coke. sometimes some Black Velvet for a cheap buzz
Wine: Has to be sweet not dry but not Boones Farm sweet. Do they still make that?
I will drink most anything if it's given to me free. Except that bottle of Peanut butter wine my nephew gave me for Christmas. Don't tell him but I poured it down the sink.

You'd like St. James Winery for the sweet wines.

I love this. I was at a party a few weeks back and the only drink they had were Belle's IPAs. They were not drinkable. It was so harsh and unnecessarily bitter and I had to drink water after sips to make sure my tongue hadn't dried up. I ain't no quitter so I ended up cutting it with lemonade and made a really odd shandy and managed to get a few down.

When I hear guys gushing about how great IPAs are it reminds me of college kids trying to pretend they are so enlightened that they "love" scotch.

We’ve got a problem!

Whiskey ditched: Western Montana bars completely out of Jameson Irish Whiskey

An Irish bar in Butte, Maloney's, is down to its last two bottles and they're saving that for St. Patrick's Day.

In Butte that is an epic disaster since St Patrick's Day is so big...honestly Jameson is just Irish Jose Cuervo

Thousands of great options for adult beverages, but I find myself going back to a few old standards for often than not.

Beer: Any decent craft Porter or a trappist Belgian triple
Vodka: Stolichnaya for everyday, Stoli Elite neat with whisky stone as needed
Whisky: Balvenie Single Barrel Single Malt Scotch with whisky stones
Wine: A "whole cluster" Pinot Noir - hard to find, but when I do I will buy a box. Not at all like the generic Pinots that have flooded the market.
Port: Grahms 20yr Aged Tawny
Cognac: XO maison surrenne

Don't really drink bourbons, other non-scotch whiskies, rums, gins, white wine or tequila.

So, what are yours?

Beer: Bourbon stout from my local microbrew
Vodka: Quicksilver from Montgomery Distillery in Missoula or Tito's
Whiskey: Very Old St. Nick 12-year bourbon
Wine: Bread and Butter Pinot Noir
Port: Don't drink it
Cognac: Don't drink it
Shots: Rumplemintz

Fwiw, there is a real shortage on imported whiskeys. Can't find my Red Breast with. 200 miles, no ETA on shipments.

Single pot 12 year? edit, I read this in order and see someone else posts a picture of said 12 year single pot, same as is on my shelf

The photo compliments to text are weak in this thread. Kudos to those who add evidence.

I gave Mike Rowe’s brand a try, better than a novelty brand for sure. He was nice enough to sign my cork

 

[Redmt]

I'm not much of a drinker anymore but you can always bring me out of retirement with a bottle of Glen Fiditch.

 

[Farmerj]

Last night’s selection..

 

[mdcrossbow]

I like a good Rum, no fillers. Very smooth.

 

[GlockZ]

Jameson Black Barrel, Angel’s Envy, Buffalo Trace, Bulleitt Rye, Macallan, these are my mainstay.

Yukon Jack, neat

occasionally a B-52

and of course, it is a right of passage, to have a Sourtoe Cocktail, at least once, in this part of the world

The Sourtoe Cocktail

A famed drink seasoned with an amputated toe, now on its tenth digit.
