Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

My local wine dude has bottles at 3.5 €/ and I'm telling you the stuff is BRILLIANT… Both white and red... Of course he has a li'l Italian at 14 €. which is epic but I'm telling ya: you càn find good, cheap wine... Not to mention his 4.5 € Janus...

I suspect that good cheap wine is easier to get on the continent, than here in merry old Albion though.

Possibly too smooth, certainly too easy to drink in large quantities. As I've not drunk much in the way of Bourbon it's easy to say that this is by far my favourite so far.

Might be that my next 'bottle of stuff to drink when I feel like shit' will be another Bourbon. Or I may try another brand of Japanese Whisky.

I love me some Bourbon. I just discovered it last winter. My favorite ways to drink it are neat, or in an Old Fashioned. I haven't really tried many varieties of Bourbon. Might have to give Woodford Reserve a try.

Also, good news for Bourbon drinkers. Bourbon barrels in Kentucky currently outnumber its citizens.

Woodford is a solid bourbon. I am a huge fan of Jefferson's Presidential Reserve 18 year old bourbon.

I'm a big Woodford fan. My new favorite is Parker's Wheated Mashbill. The 2012 Whisky Bible rated it in the top 5 whiskies in the world. It's about the same price as Woodford, fairly easy to find, and damn delicious.

I'm a fan of Woodford, but Maker's Mark is still my absolute favourite. Tried Gentleman Jack the other month and that stuff is really nice, too easy to drink though, super smooth. I definitely recommend it!

Used to be a Woodfird fan until I tried Blanton's. simply the best

Doug, could you recommend me a widely available dark rum in the US please?

[thomasnunnally]

I currently have Buffalo Trace in my cabinet, which I have been enjoying immensely, though it may be a little too sweet for my liking.  Also, I have a nearly empty Corner Creek Reserve, which was really tops for only $30.

Also have Glen Breton 10 Year Single Malt, Laphroaig Quarter Cask, and Connemara Peated Single Malt Irish Whiskey.

The local LCBO has a Belgian Whiskey, Owl something, that always makes me think of Eli.  i want to pick it up but need some celebratory excuse to justify the $125 price tag.

Not gonna lie, not a rum guy, but I usually use Myers for rum and cokes for guests

I'm into Stranahan's Colorado Whisky and I'm down to my last bottle of Parker's Wheated Mashbill. It's an insanely good Whisky.

It took third in 2012

Just looking for an alternative to my usual Havana Club Sept Anios….damn trade embargo 

[joesaintjohn]

One of my favorite bars has a drink called "The Bob W" (Best Of Both Worlds) It's a Coop DNR with a shot of Woodford poured into it. Damn delicious, but it'll put you on your ass.

DNR (Do Not Resuscitate)

I think you can bring it with you as long as its obviously for 'personal use'

I don't think the bar owners of NY are liberal enough for me to "bring a bottle" 

I should have been more specific about drinking out 

[RedStripe]

I am currently drinking a very soft g&t, and thoroughly enjoying it.

After a few ales in the pub 

[Seul]

Good lad. I've been enjoying some nice Loire white wine… Off to the pub in a bit...

[joesaintjohn]

Long day…delayed delivery.
