    Sometimes it's just too damn cold to even think about making a cocktail.

      @Mizmazzle Four Roses Single Barrels are really great. What did you think. Readily available and pretty reasonable.

        @Jett129 quite fine indeed. Smooth yet hot. Touch of ice and it all blends quite nicely. Four roses never disappoints.

                    @scooter I would love to try that. So cool that they give you all the different mash bills.

                        It certainly is cool. Bardstown Bourbon is known to be one of the more transparent producers. They're quite good at blending, and distilling, as well. The only thing unfortunate, due to nondisclosure agreements, they can't provide the names of the original distillers of the 13 and 10 year distillates of the blend. There's quite a debate about the 13 year. Two distillers (Beam and Turkey) employ that mash bill as their primary. Arguments on both sides a solid. So, there is no way to know for sure. The 10 year is a mystery, too. No distiller has ever laid claim to it. But, there is a good enough amount of evidence to believe it's Beam...

                        Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

                          It's fantastic. Very complex, and well balanced. The finish is excellent. In the top 5 of all bourbons I've ever tried...

                              Niiice, had a bottle, enjoyed it mostly making revolvers and boulevardiers. Fantastic in those. I’m just not a straight whiskey or bourbon guy.

                                  @IrishHeart I’m going to Barcelona for the first time in June. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

                                        @Jett129 there is so much to see in Barca and it depends on how long you are visiting, and the things that are of interest to you.
                                        The architecture of the city is dominated by Gaudí and a lot of it is brilliant, weird and wacky.
                                        A must see is La Sagrada Familia ( the Gaudi designed cathedral that they are still working on which is probably the biggest tourist attraction in the city but well worth visiting. I strongly recommend booking tickets in advance to reduce your queuing time. I’m not one for guided tours but did hire the audio headsets which were great.
                                        Tour books will suggest Park Güell and Casa Milia and they are both worth visiting as they are so different from anything you’ll find in any other City.
                                        I don’t know if you like soccer but as a football fan myself, a trip to the Camp Nou is a must see. It’s the largest soccer stadium in Europe, and although you won’t get to see a game in June, the stadium tour and museum is worth seeing.
                                        I love food markets and the Mercat de La Boqueria on La Rambla is great with lots of little tapas bars.
                                        There are a couple of hop on hop off bus routes and they are a good way of getting an overview and just jump off at any place that catches your interest.
                                        There are lots of little neighbourhoods each offering a different vibe. Probably best to check out something like Lonely Planet to get a rundown on some of them and see which most appeal to you.
                                        It will be hot in June, so don’t try and do too much, and be aware of pickpockets.
                                        Last tip is don’t refer to the locals as Spanish! They are fiercely proud of being Catalan ( there is an huge independence movement there) and have their own language although do speak Spanish.

                                        I bet there are others on the forum who are much more familiar with the city and will be able to offer lots of good tips.

                                          @IrishHeart Thank you,Thank you,so much for taking the time to write that. Definitely will be helpful. Also thanks for the heads up about the pickpockets. Very easy to let your guard down and get complacent on vacation.
