Picked up that Knob Creek Single Barrel, that will put hair on your chest! Damn it's strong stuff. I definitely needed to cut it with ice.

I will say this again... And I am not one to throw around recommendations lightly (Plantation XO 20 case in point!)

For ANY of you who enjoy Whiskey, grab a bottle of this asap! It was a huge hit over Memorial weekend with our guests!

Will buy as soon as I find (both the Plantation and the whiskey)

Yes, my favorite way to drink it is over a large chunk of ice in a shot glass, it gets almost syrupy with the cold. Other than that, w/ Bourbon I don't like to add water like with scotch - it really opens up scotch, but often leaves bourbon kind of flat to me.

Picked up these boys for tonight's hockey game.

Went to Binny's today and grabbed a 1.75 of the Woodford Reserve Bourbon, the Plantation Pineapple, and of course, the Plantation 20.

I saw the Clyde May's at Sam's Club, but I was all done shopping booze by then. Next time, maybe.

For last night's Old Fashioned:

Orange peel from backyard tree
brown sugar
water from the fridge filter, cool
blackberries from backyard
mint from backyard
Basil Hayden

shaken, not stirred. The blackberries were particularly good once I got to the bottom of the glass.

This man speaks truth. I'm on my 3rd bottle of Plantation XO 20 Year Anniversary and it's the best tasting rum I've ever tried. To the point I usually sip a nice Glenmorangie close to daily...I haven't touched Scotch in about 2 months.

I'm fighting myself on whether I should buy the Eldorado 21 Year...but at twice the price of the Plantation XO - I'm not sure I want to risk it.



Any recommendations for a really nice rum...that would be better than the Plantation XO?

I haven't found one yet, although the pineapple version is very drinkable and I have that a lot. It's quite a bit cheaper, too.

right now I'm 30,000 feet in the air sipping on a bloody Mary with Tito's - but I'd say my drink of preference is a good bourbon with a big ice cube.

Woodford reserve and Four Roses small batch are amongst my favorite.

I have sampled more Rums than I can count, some costing 4x as much as Plantation 20 XO. None are as good overall! It is by my estimate, the best spirit on earth! And I have had some very fine and $$$ Cognac, Scotch, etc.

None of you have even looked for the Clyde Mays????

I did. As I said above, I saw it at Sam's Club. In the $32 range if I recall correctly. But I had already picked up a ton of stuff at Binny's, so I figured I'd wait until next time to grab it.

I missed National Bourbon Day, which was yesterday (June 14), but I'm celebrating it tonight with Woodford Reserve.

I actually agree...

I truthfully didn't think the other rums can be much better...marginally at best.

Starting the evening off with some Redbreast 15

Back to the Plantation Pineapple rum tonight. Wifey cut up a fresh pineapple today, so I speared a few cubes with a toothpick and used them as a garnish in my drink. They were pretty tasting after soaking a bit.
