Food / Drink Whiskey drinkers unite!

[VenomousDSG]

Thanks for tip. You might be right. I'm having a little taster of this jameson now, and wow. The orange flavor is definitely front and center. Wasn't expecting it to be THIS orangey. I still might give it a shot tho

You don't use egg white in yours do you?? I've seen recipes with and without. If I gotta crack to egg to make a drink, that's just gettin a little a too much for me

I do occasionally, but not often. If i drop an egg white in, i cut the simple syrup amount in half, and also add in a bit more lemon juice from a cut lemon.

I'm a yuppie when it comes to these drinks, so i have a certain method for making all mine and what to do.

And yes, that Jameson is something you want to drink neat or with a ball cube since it already has a strong orange flavor. i would not use that as a mixer for any drink period.

I’ll pour it in 20-30 minutes.



Let me know if you want me to check the one by me (CO) and ship it down.

Thanks for the offer but I don't think i NEED to have this. It did look interesting, but it's a little on the pricier side, tho I probably could've gotten it for under $70 w/ my discount, IF it was in my state at all

I'm definitely getting that from my taste test here but its 100 out and damn if this stuff isn't refreshing Tho, I wonder how this would do w/ like a ginger ale or something.....

New Riff Single Barrel ‘Jokic’ - fitting for the NBA finals.

Had to "test" out that Jameson some more. tried a small neat pour since the first one i put a couple small ice cubes in. It's good this way too. But man this stuff is more like an orange liqueur than it is a flavored whiskey. Reminds me a lot of like a Grand Marnier or something tho not QUITE that extreme. But I am not tasting a lot of whiskey in this stuff at all Its not a complaint tho.

One of my favored barrel picks- I’ll need to pick a couple more bottles up while they’re still in stock.

Edit: I always thought New Riff was a peanut butter whiskey because of the label so I never tried it…buddy had a bottle and it really surprised me as a good bourbon.

Wife is going to take the rest of my margarita supplies so I’ll need 1-2 more recommendations for the night.

New Riff is good stuff, still got half a bottle left of mine. Heres my bar, i got a single barrel EH today from Woodmans i stuffed in the middle of the wine rack, no more room in the cupboards... Might need to expand.

 

[IDAFC21]

I've been doing this wrong.

I need more bottles.

VenomousDSG how often do you get hounded about the Winkle?

I don’t have a lot of buddies that enjoy straight bourbon so most of my stuff just stays there until I drink it.

Often ? Ive got all the Pappys in the back, and dont plan on opening any of them though unless its a special occasion. I usually get a couple a year around christmas from Binnys and just pop one open with family.

The most unique bottle I have and one of my favorites, critics seem to agree (https://www.forbes.com/sites/bradja...-2022-new-york-world-spirits-competition/amp/)

 

[IDAFC21]

jesus man I hope you have nothing to do for the rest of the night.

Having a go at the boulevardier. Definitely getting a lotta bitterness from the campari (never had this stuff before) did 2.5oz of bourbon, and ounce of sweet vermouth and an ounce of campari. Might cut that down to half an ounce for the next one. When it comes to mixers I'm definitely a less is more kinda person

 

[IDAFC21]

Yeah I don't know if the boulevardier is for me the bitterness in that campari just cuts through everything. tried another one last night w/ a non-rye bourbon, and cut the campari to half an ounce, and it was still all I tasted

ah well.

Yea Compari has a very intrusive flavor, you have to like Compari to like a Boulevardier

Need to grab another BT, almost empty on mine. Hopefully another drop hits this week. I see EHs and Wellers hitting all over chicago this weekend.

 

[IDAFC21]

I've an unopened bottle in my reserve, but I might see if I can snag another this week. I've actually had more luck finding them at the Albertsons I shop at rather that my total wine lately
