[sirilucky]

Just had a strong coffee.

 

[Piobaire]

Was doing two anejos last night, Corzo and sotol.

 

[modern_leifeng]

a glass of Sazerac rye whiskey, I'm not a big whiskey drinker (Jamesons shots from time to time and there's a few single malts I have that I'll pull out maybe once a month) and not sure if its the rye, but the flavor doesn't seem to be that smooth. Oh well, I guess it requires more experimenting...

Knob is kind of my old standby, but I have really been liking Bulleit. It's incredibly smooth.

Rye has an acidic quality to its palatte, I think it's an acquired taste for some.

Satan's Whiskers

equal parts:

Dry Vermouth (Vya's)
Sweet Vermouth (Vya's)
Hendrick's Gin
Fresh squeezed OJ
1/2 part Grand Marnier
2 dashes orange bitters

This is an exceedingly interesting drink. Very smooth, obviously an orange note to it, but the finish is best described as "meaty."

Will be drinking this with some tenderloin, potatoes and locally grown corn.

 

[gomestar]

Hendricks gin, poured into a goblet with a little bit of ice.

Rye, in general, is "spicier" than other whiskey, especially to bourbon drinkers. Also, the Sazerac 6 has a little bit more bite than an older whiskey would. If you would lay your hands on the Sazerac 18 (which comes out every year or so in a limited edition form) you would notice that the spiciness stays and the alcoholic bite disappears.

All this talk is making me want a Sazerac cocktail. Here goes...

I just came here to post that exact same thing.

Sorely missing a lime wedge, though.

It's nice to unwind with a cold beer after a 14 hour day, knowing you have to be back at work in 10.5 hours.

Had a few cocktails, out for dinner last night, but scored a 2005 Kosta Brown for dinner

Wine Spectator sure does love Kosta Brown. Hope it lived up to its reputation!
