Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

@Tago Mago can you please share a link. I am not familiar with what you're talking about…
-
@Filthy apologies, this is the one: https://www.plantationrum.com/oftd . Great for Rum & Coke (commonly referred to as Cuba Libre in Germany, if that was the question. Not meaning to be condescending)
-
Hell yeah thanks. I'll get some asap
-
@Tago Mago I'm unable to get this shipped to Pennsylvania.
I'm going to have to see if they can special order it for me maybe. -
Pennsylvania and it's damn archaic liquor laws! Thought I would escape them moving to Maryland, but no one ships alcohol here, either. Looks like you're enjoying some killer Dark and Stormy's @Filthy
-
They are amazing. I am so drunk rn
-
Not the best there is, but when you see it for $30, well worth it and probably the best deal in entry-level mezcal. I'm not real big on mezcal cocktails, but this is the right price point and proof for that.
-
@mclaincausey Couldn’t help but notice the bottle of Blade and Bow,which you seem to like as well. This is my current Mezcal treat,with the Sal de Gusano,that you turned me on to a while back.
-
Blade and Bow is fantastic - one of the best bourbons for the buck for sure!

That's too bad, @Filthy . Is it unavailable in the US in general or is this a problem specific to Pennsylvania (as @Joberwocky seems to be suggesting)? US alcohol laws are both a mystery and a constant source of amazement to me

I’m a bourbon/rye guy and cask strength offerings have become pretty popular in recent years. 55% alcohol is pretty much my cask strength sweet spot. How would you be drinking it? I would taste it neat at first,but then I would need some ice. @ddtrash
@Jett129 This bottle of Cairdeas is going into the vault for speculation purposes. A fun hobby with a remarkable return so far.
The open bottles of single malt I normally drink a sip neat to begin with and then add water as required. I don't normally add ice to scotch single malt. Not sure why as I do add ice to my nice bourbons such as Michters. A cheaper Bourbon for mixing that I have found to be good is the Wild Turkey 101.
-
Wild Turkey 101 is the first bourbon I ever drank,but don’t care for it these days. On the other hand the Michters 10 yr is up there with the best I’ve ever had. I have an opened bottle of the Parkers Heritage 27yr old that I paid about $125 for when it came out. Unopened bottles,easily,go for about $3,500 these days. I never saw it coming that bourbon would be anywhere near as popular as it is today.
-
Nice one @Jett129 ! Yes I do enjoy B&B. When I see it for $45 or less I always procure. I wouldn’t pay over $50 or so unless there were no better options and I was thirsty. It sips and mixes well and I agree with @Appfaff
You may also have noticed this beautiful bottle of agave karwinskii (cuishe), which I’ve not opened and this didn’t mention (sorry about the hideous tile and countertop the previous owners installed
):

@Filthy I noticed my walking distance liquor store has a couple different versions of plantation rum, might just have to pick up a bottle or two
. Have you had any of their other varieties, and have you had goslings rum (if so, how's this compare?) -

well, I figured you "enjoyed" it hard enough maybe you're something of an authority now, but thanks for the info
