The Booze Thread

[Rome]

I think scotch is best with a little splash of water. It opens it up. Most of the scotch makers drink it like that.

One of the rare times I got violently ill from alcohol was from scotch and beer as a teen and couldn't tolerate even the smell for decades. About three years ago really started getting into it though and love it now. Igy you might be surprised with a non smokey one like macallan 12yr old with some ice cold water. Beautiful malt flavor and very smooth.

ive tried a dozen different scotches....both really high end and average and i physically cant get any of them down....trust me i wanna like scotch but its straight up putrid

I don't know why you want to like it.  It tastes like I imagine a dirty foot would taste, but whatever.

This. Totally.

BTW, just tapped a sixtel of this:



Damn...it's really dark shtein. (but damn, it's good)

[Diomedes]

sixtel?  you gonna make me look that up, or you wanna save me the trouble?

[Munson]

Just smaller kegs, pretty much.

[Diomedes]

I suspected something like that, since he said "tapped."  Thnks.

[Munson]

There's really no other way to describe it. Just look like the offspring of keg sex.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Sorry for the lingo. It's a 1/6 of a barrel; standard size for microbrew kegs.
