      Had this guy and enjoyed it. I really love their 16 year though. Feel like it’s a good staple and great price/performance.

        @mclaincausey How does it compare to the 16? I buy a bottle of the 16 every year around this time, and I've been curious about the 11.

            @seawolf it’s beyond serviceable but easily it is worth the premium for the 16 IMO.

            Bought this for a friends birthday. Very good! Amazingly smooth for 106°

              @mclaincausey from what I’ve seen, the 16 is coming down in price, so that’s always nice.

                      I love a Bloody Mary, but I'm always disappointed wit the ones available on airplanes. This time I brought a little kit with me to make the best of it.

                      The kit includes:

                      1. Celery salt
                      2. Fresh ground black pepper
                      3. Tabasco sauce
                      4. Celery stalk for garnish

                          @SKT I don't drink them often, but when you're in the mood for one, they really hit the spot.

                            Sazeracs, a bourbon sour with peach tea, and ultimately coffee martinis last night. The suspicious looking powder in the background is just chalk from a geology dig toy Hattie got for Christmas 🤣

                              It wasn't suspicious until you pointed it out. Love a sazerac!

                                I despise bloody Marys (maybe belongs in the unpopular opinion thread) but I thoroughly loved the dedication and execution there @seawolf

                                  @pechelman They're not for everyone, that's for sure. I completely understand why a cocktail made with tomato juice isn't for everyone. Honestly, liking bloody Marys is probably the unpopular opinion here.

                                    I have to be in the mood and it has to be the morning but I’ll generally reach for a corpse #2, spritz, mimosa, or something similar for a morning drink. My favorite bloodies tend to have a lot of hot sauce, Worcestershire, celery seed, and ideally fixins to proxy a proper breakfast. Go ahead and toss a chicken wing on there 🤣

                                      @mclaincausey A bloody can definitely be a meal. There's a place in Rhode Island that serves an oyster on a half shell on top of their bloody. Not exactly the meal you're talking about, but fun nonetheless. Ever order one in Wisconsin? They always serve it with a pony glass of beer. It's the standard across the state.

                                        @seawolf yup, the pony thing is a little odd to me but I’ve had the bloody come out on a paddle with a tiny can of silver bullet or similar swill.

                                          @mclaincausey I lived in WI for around 18 months, and it's an interesting place. Usually the pony would be a glass of New Glarus Spotted Cow, the local favorite.
