Canada hasn't been represented here since I was little more than a teen-ager. What exactly do they blend it with that gives me such acid reflux?

...... ooo ooooooo oooooo ooooo oooooo,, load me up on the Creek

As an Ambassitor to Makers Mark I would have to insist you add some to the cabinet. winter wheat is a nice flavor, in particular the winter time...

 

[yooperdave]

sure hope that you don't dilute that...with anything...including ice!

 

[yooperdave]

and did you ever catch that show on the history channel? about whiskey? nice and infromative.

 

[daveswoodhauler]

Not a good night....we are out of sauce and I don't think my MRs's will like me driving to the packy to buy some sauce......really would like to have some after cleaning up the driveway all say. Have a glass for me please!

 

[Jutt77]

Ohhh, nice! I'll take a glass of the Macallan please

 

[midwestcoast]

I'll take a big ole' dram of The Macallan please!
Have you ever actually tasted that 50YO stuff? Doubt I'll ever have the pleasure to taste something that pricey...
My current stock is: A 1L bottle of Bowmore 12 year single-malt that I found at the Duty Free shop for $48!! I think they must've miss-priced it. It is much smokier and not as smooth as Macallan.

Your Canadian content comes up as a Red X on my end? I might sip on a glass of Crown Royal on rocks from time to time, but Rye doesn't really do it for me. As far as I know there are few restrictions on what can go in Canadian Rye Whisky, not like scotch or bourbon. Artificial flavour & colour, doesn't even have to contain Rye.

I also enjoy a good Anejo Tequila for sipping. Fav so far is Herradura and I might go for that over a 12 year especially in summer. Don't try this with Cuervo :shut:

I dunno, a few drops of clean water or even a small piece of ice (like 1/4 cube or less) can be nice.

guess you could look at it that way, but, isn't the distilling process to remove water???!!

 

[Stump_Branch]

Nearly all whiskey is distilled to be dilluted down. it comes out of the still at 200 proof or very close to, after aging its watered down to get to the 80 - 90 - 100 thats its bottled at. they only use distilled and I recommend. I am an ice fan myself, but not too much, large cube, dont break it. The water is optional however, for tasting I never add water.

Almost all scotch is diluted to 80 proof but some isn't (around 180 proof) and the distillery recommends you dilute the undiluted with up to 50% water. Of course you don't have to but you wouldn't be able to taste a lot of the subtleties drinking it undiluted since diluting it "opens it up" a bit.

eF the accompaniments there's a reason it's called sippin' whiskey!
Man up!
Eye only ever see ties and shirt tails waterin' it down.

i may have had a bourbon or two and a touch of water or one cube helps release the flavors in the mash, ain't nothing like a little Makers on a snowy night.

never seen that one before. Rare breed wild turkey is 108 proof

 

[ISeeDeadBTUs]

We did a taste test last night . . . 101 Turkey and 101 Rye Turkey. Both excellent. I prefer the Rye.

Makes me feel bad for newbies. The first year and a half with my wood-fired hydronic I couln't have a drink 'cause the next emergency was 20 minutes or less away. Ahhh, the learning curve.

Oh, and Lee ya need to meet different tie/shirt types. Straight-up all the way here

It's gonna be even colder tonight! Rock On!!
