That's not true. I'm well into the acceptance stage. In fact, I have NEVER failed to accept a drink when offered one.

So there.

So obviously never been offered a slightly cooled Bud Light

yeah...
when you're in college you even say yes to a warm budlight.

my lowest ever has been a shot of everclear and tabasco with the chaser as an oven-heated hamm's , hazing is real

currently sipping on a corona until the boys come and we pregame before heading out, just as fall break starts

If you’re a fan of Irish Whiskey, you’ll like this.

Not since I started hanging around with a classier crowd. But in my youth, I would drink Jinro Soju with grape juice (known as Porta-Ju). And Coors Lite. And other swills I won't mention here. There is much to be ashamed of in my past.

I have lately become a Jameson's fan, so I may look for this when we hit Benny's in a few days.

I highly recommend it and have found myself choosing this bottle over bottles that cost 3-4 times as much, reach right around those. I actually grabbed 6 more bottles of it today.
1) It’s really good
2) It’s reasonably priced
3) It’s hard to find

If you grab a bottle, I’ll be interested to hear what you think. Everyone’s palate is different

Can you compare it to Plantation 20?

It does not. I've had several Dos Maderas varieties. Good but not not great.

If you haven't tried any of these from my bar yet, on your next bar run for the Holidays, grab at least one. I will also add Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva to the list.
Or if you're 8n the area, give me a shout.

*edit I can't get the Pic upload from my phone. But here's the kidt:

Don Papas 18yr
El Pasador De Oro

I just got a liter for my birthday. Saves me a month or 3 till I spend $$$ to buy another bottle of Jameson 12yr.

Disappointing trip to Binny's today. No sign of this brand there and the Jameson's IPA Cask was more expensive there than at the neighborhood store, which surprised me. I ended up buying a 1.75L of Jameson's and called it a day.

Agree...its not bad...but not as good as the plantation. It's close though...and a few bucks less.

M_Six · 11-21-2018, 12:55 AM

Basic Jameson's is not bad at all. I'm liking it.

Basic Jamey is great value. Jamey black even better. Still not pricey.

Dogfish Head 60 is like breakfast, lunch, dinner and an midnight snack all in a bottle.

1MOREMOD · 11-21-2018, 09:57 PM

No that's the 120, 60 and 90 are tame

Yep, two 120's is about my limit. 60 and 90 are regular IPA's.

1MOREMOD · 11-21-2018, 10:48 PM

Did blind neat and rocks with plantation and diplomatico and was way closer than I thought it would be. Plantation is only slightly better being less sweet.

1MOREMOD · 11-22-2018, 12:00 AM

Also just got into dogfish tastes like shit, something wrong with it. Had it before
