What drink should I try?

You know, I'm really getting the feeling that the message from some of you guys is "drink PBR, it's on your level".

At the moment I'm preparing for hosting a Macallan nosing session. Just found out the actual price of my Macallan 18yo Gran Reserva that I picked up on the cheap a while back. I wish I hadn't opened it now ...

It is not like you gave your thoughts on the wine suggestions. You liky or no liky?

Tell us how it feels to drink a scotch worth 2k. Bitter?

Based on past performance, wines are not expected to meet my threshold requirements, nevertheless my objectives. Add in that the analysis-of-alternatives necessary prior to acquisition is often made moot by the selection committee (aka, liquor store), and the expected value of the proposal was not high enough to move forward with.

Tried a June Bug last night. It was... interesting. The recipe I used was 1 part coconut rum, 1 part Midori, 1 part banana liqueur, 1 part pineapple juice and 1 part sweet & sour mixer. I was surprised at how smooth it went down (especially given how potent the liqueur was), but it wasn't really a drink I could mix up quickly while gaming, and definitely one that I would go careening off the "happily buzzed" stage into the "wasted" if I downed more then one ever two hours. Definitely gonna make one for the husband when he comes home next though. I think I'll try to see if there's a more "casual drink" and less "let's get this party started" before tonight.

I also saw your fabled "clamato" while at the store. It sent shivers down my spine.

It doesn't taste what it looks like.

Nah. Your stubborn refusal to make ice at home, though, is sorta puzzling.

Thought of another tasty treat: Mint Julep. Nummers ...

I'm pretty simple when it comes to cocktails and spirits. I'm a huge fan of vodka. It is the one product at which the Russians excel more than any other. So if it has vodka in it, I enjoy it. Aside from that, I like to drink straight bourbon whiskey or scotch whiskey on the rocks. Black label Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, take your pick.

Oof ... none of those are bourbon, whiskey or scotch.

Sorry, I'm a brown liquor snob! Just playin' with ya!

You are right though, none of those brands are scotch.
