What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

ASAP · 06-28-2019, 06:02 PM

I tried a tequila called Partida elegante the other day at a friends... FWIW, I will say its super expensive... its $399 at Total Wine however I have never tasted a tequila as good. It has 0 after taste and is strictly for sipping... I would never mix it; its so good.

Those of you who enjoy proper 12. Have you noticed that the price has crept up? Used to be able to get a bottle for about $21. Now it's up to 30. Talked with liquor store owner who said yes they jacked the price up.

I have 18 bottles so I haven’t shopped it in a while. But I have noticed that it fluctuates more than other brands.

the week after a great vacation is always a bitch! decided to crack open the writers tears that i brought home from ireland. it’s niiiiice. fruit and cinnamon on the nose. slightly sweet like apple or pear at the front with a nice long spice finish.

Still $24.99 here. Same as it's been. Although that's pre-tax and since I always use a cc, I get hit with another charge. Comes to $28 when all is said and done.

Something new for my bar. Very tasty indeed...

TXSTYLE · 06-30-2019, 06:01 PM

I forgot how refreshing Gin can be! Especially with a splash of Sprite and lime.

tcphoto · 06-30-2019, 07:32 PM

I recommend this cocktail from the Death and Company book.

Prices of P12 are everywhere. I get my drinking stuff all from Total Wine which they have been selling steadily at $19.99. I have seen other liquor stores selling them for $30-40.

The liquor store in Venetian Vegas is selling them for $50

bd307 · 07-01-2019, 03:05 PM

I recently open up a 18 year Kirkland branded scotch that I got quite a while back. It is surprisingly nice and price was only $50-60. Not seeing Costco selling them for a while now.

TXSTYLE · 07-01-2019, 03:56 PM

Grabbed this fi e bottle of Bourbon Friday. Impressive bottle but very ice juice inside too.

Patrick303 · 07-01-2019, 07:25 PM

I'm almost always a whiskey or beer guy, but a buddy brought a bottle of Azul Tequila to our Friday night poker game and I gotta say it's pretty damn good!

I also found a couple more bottles of MWND to add to my Rye collection

m630 · 07-01-2019, 08:13 PM

Clase Azul Reposado is great on the rocks

TXSTYLE · 07-01-2019, 08:26 PM

That Clase Azul is the best tasting, smoothest Tequila I've ever tasted! And I've tasted mucho!

M_Six · 07-03-2019, 06:12 PM

The horror, the horror.

Been meaning to try that Azul but instead I picked up another bottle of Casamigos Reposado and Anejo this time to see which I prefer. Give this a shot tonight

A friend brought this back for me from Trinidad/Tobago...Angostura Single Barrel Reserve Trinidadian rum.
Kicking off the 4-day weekend!
