Aha - the first signs of a real problem developing here - hiding the booze in the laundry room.

And then, of course, there's all those cash payments for booze to keep them off the credit card radar.

If you have not already, try whiskey with ginger ale. Crown goes awesome with ginger ale.

Or with Cream Soda.

BTW
Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage kicks butt.
Knob Creek, and Evan Williams Black label are good.

As for mixing with water, chill a glass squirt some good cold clean water in the glass, pour it out and add 2 fingers of your Favorite Whiskey. This is the proper way to mix it.

Andy inspired me to get the Balvenie 12 yr Doublewood.

That bottle of Evan Williams you got there is the best I ever tasted. If that is the 97 you must have had a real treat.

Excellent Idea! I've been just adding a few squirts of bottled water.

I've only had one tasting of the Evan Williams. But it was VERY good.

Last night at dinner had a Woodford Reserve and then some Knob Creek. I definitely preferred the Woodford, but both were good. Actually, I haven't yet had something 'bad'. But I'm not that fond of Wild Turkey since it tastes a bit like medicine to me.

I recently got some plain Ole JD and thought it tasted a little like Aqua Net Hairspray, same with Maker's Mark.
Been meaning to try some Woodford, and some Bookers.

You only interested in Bourbon? I actually like JD a lot. Love the sweetness.

Then I moved on to the Balvenie 12 yr Doublewood. Not to shabby. However, I haven't developed the taste for Scotch yet. I'm partial to Bourbon & Tennesse whiskey at this point.

Next was some Jameson, my first real attentive approach to Irish whiskey. I gotta say......I LIKED it, alot. I'm gonna have to pursue the Irish a bit more.

I'm finishing the evening by downing the last of my Wild Turkey 101 (not the Rye in the picture). I'm just not sold on WT. I can't get the idea of it tasting like medicine out of my head.

Maybe that's it. Might have developed a taste for Bourbons.
Funny but at 45 years old I am now just starting to drink hard spirits. I mean I drank some such stuff in my late teens and 20's but they I always seemed to get into trouble (fights and such) with the hard stuff.
Give me a beer and I am happy. *Insert song "Tom T. Hall, I like Beer" here*

So I had dinner with some people from work this week. I found out that one of my team members is a big Scotch guy. Based on his recommendations....tonight's purchases:
