What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

billnchristy · 12-14-2019, 03:36 PM

My current whiskey stash, need some Irish.

bobowar135 · 12-15-2019, 05:24 AM

Am sipping on the Eldorado myself. Bought the Plantation as a christmas gift for my rum-loving brother. I hope I can last till then without opening it for myself lol.

I also got the 15 Sherry cask and it is also a very good scotch.

Saw a Red Beast 21 selling for $229. Has anyone tried that?

Apart from the Teeling Small Batch Irish & the Glenfiddich experiment #4 Fire & Cane I can't think of any more Rum-Finished whiskies. As much as I'd like to indulge in the Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14yo, I can't justify the $140 australian price tag. As long as I can keep picking up the #4 Glenfiddich for $80, I'm happy.

That's not hugely more expensive than here (around $80 US), but it's enough to put it out of my comfort range for buying. I haven't grabbed a bottle of it in a couple of years anyway.

Coffee now but. Usually (once per week) JD and Diet LemonCoke

hooligan_G01 · 12-16-2019, 06:14 PM

Picked this bad boy up today.

Captain Blood · 12-16-2019, 06:29 PM

I'm hoping Santa Claus brings me some 12-year-old Irish whiskey.

UncleWede · 12-16-2019, 06:33 PM

One co-worker bought me a bottle of Skrewball, I hope you falkers were right.

Another picked me up a bottle of Zin-Port at her default winery.

Damn, I'm on call until Jan 6

M_Six · 12-16-2019, 07:44 PM

On call over all the holidays? Da fuq? You need to find a new job.

UncleWede · 12-16-2019, 11:52 PM

Work is the curse of the drinking class

Hawkeye · 12-17-2019, 03:15 PM

Had myself a couple of milfs last night.

I've bitten the bullet. I'm thinking we have to spoil ourselves sometimes, it's almost Christmas, and I've worked a bunch of overtime this week. I've bought a bottle of Balvenie Caribbean Cask. I was not disappointed, I love the lingering after-taste. But at this price it is but a treat I shall savour until the bottle is empty.

One of the big liquor stores in Champaign (Binny's) has Jameson's on sale this weekend for $16.99/btl. That's pretty cheap. I'm thinking about fighting the pre-Xmas crowds just to stock up at that price.

$17 is an insane price. For an entry level whiskey, Jameson's is a bit of all right.

TXSTYLE · 12-20-2019, 03:16 PM

If you have never tried this... Grab some immediately! Especially for my Plantation XO 20 fans. Truly delicious. In fact, this was introduction into Premium Sipping RUMS.

I would place it in my TOP 5 Best Rums!

That is very low for a really good spirit!

Agreed. Diplomatico is a tasty quaff. I still like Plantation XO 20 and Bumbu better, though.

1MOREMOD · 12-20-2019, 06:40 PM

Like bumbu also if wantingnit sweeter

I like the sweet stuff. Probably why I lean towards the Diplomatico.

TXSTYLE · 12-20-2019, 09:13 PM

I see the Bumbu comes in several kinds. Which do you guys recommend for me considering my tastes?

Left or right?
