Where's my sad face! I have a few of those. After collecting a few hundred, I have been trying to buy barrel picks because I can usually try them. Or, tasting at whiskey club or at a friends house. I have gotten burned more than a few times. Although, I have found, the bottles often change after you open them up and get past the neck pour and down to the shoulders. Many that I have revisited 6 months later were quite delicious. I also have a eyedropper bottle with filtered water. Sometimes especially if the juice is too hot, a couple drops per oz. will open it up and change it for the better. Worth a try.
 
Yes... I did a taste beforehand. Not a lot of character to it. I'll mix drinks with it... Old fashioned or Manhattan... but it didn't catch me as a "porch sipper"

This Oak & Eden is nice though

I drink everything neat but I need to get into those Manhattan's and Old Fashions. I have tasted a few and liked them and I have some bottles that should be turned into something else.

I'm very picky on the construction of my cocktails. Most bartenders F them up. Properly done they are quite nice
 
Whiskey Tasting Club tonight. We are tasting French Whisky so I think I will bring a nice Starlight Bourbon finished in a Cognac barrel. Cognac is French you know! Cheers.

'The Champagne of Beers' leaves French producers frothing

The guardians of Champagne will let no one take the name of the bubbly beverage in vain, not even a U.S. beer behemoth. For years, Miller High Life has used the “Champagne of Beers” slogan. At the request of the trade body defending the interests of houses and growers of the northeastern...

But the word without a capital letter in not a trademark.
 
I like MGD, Miller High Life, not so much. I haven't seen MGD here for quite some time in the black label I was accustomed to. I'll have to look more closely next time at the adult beverage dispensary, they re-packaged it. We kinda boycotted Miller Beers in our youth, they took and built a brewery on top of Irwindale Raceway :BangHead: . We went to The Last Blast TF and FC show. Numerous of the racers had written in white shoe polish on their racers MILLER BEER SUCKS :rofl:

LOL beer here is a neighborhood thing here. We drank Miller Lite because the neighbors across the street always had a party going and that's what they drank. They moved out of the neighborhood and we drink Coors Light now. I don't do beer much any more unless it's my own or a good craft beer. I'm a bourbon and rye guy.

Or whose racing pit you might be in :lol:
 
If I go out there I bring a bottle or two of my own. There's always someone around that likes the brown stuff.
 
Fun afternoon. Cedar Ridge has a new release. It's a American single malt finished in Amontillado Sheery butts. Ted bought one, we tasted it in the parking lot and I went back in for one for myself.
