What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

UncleWede · 09-04-2018, 12:00 PM

Why is it that guys who obviously have serious cash flow, also have that cheap shite is large quantities???? I went out marlin fishing on a 38" Bertram with some lawyer. He's talking about how much he spends on this and that. $5800 binoculars, yet when I go down to mix a drink (after finishing the flask of Basil Hayden I brought around 10am, all he has is Kirkland. I poured a nice draft of the Scotch, and "accidentally" left the red cup in the back holder and it filled with salt water. The "best" he had that I could actually drink was Bacardi/diet.
Dude, you have more rods than rod holders, this 38" beast that skims through 3' chop at 20 knots, and I have to dump Scotch over the rail because I can't stomach the stuff. W T F????

As a RUM Connosuier, I must share this with my fellow RUM lovers:

Of course, I don't t agree with the placement of my Plantation XO 20,its still my favorite. But I will say the number one on this list, is absolutely in my TOP 3 and was my first "Premium Sipping RUM" that got me hooked on rums nearly a decade ago. If you never tried it, you must!

Will have to try some of those only had plantation

Joekerr · 09-12-2018, 03:47 PM

Most recent pickup was a bottle of wine - called Stave & Steel.

It's a cab sauv, but aged in bourbon barrels. Extremely smooth and good. After I sampled the first bottle, went out and picked up 8 more bottles before they are gone. I'll just save some of them for a few years likely.

That Diplomático Reserva Exclusiva is really good! Definitely worth the effort looking for or having it ordered. Locally here, it's @ $45.

Definitely keep me posted on your impressions.

I'm actually putting in a order for this:

I have read about this one on a couple of rum sites.

1MOREMOD · 09-13-2018, 10:07 PM

I will chug the diplomatico then try flour Cana or whatever

ShopVac · 09-21-2018, 06:54 PM

4 years of looking, finally found near my job site in DC.
This shit better be worth the wait...that's all I'm sayin'

Need to do back to back with plantation. Think its bit less sweet. Would say it's about equal. Last edited by 1MOREMOD; 09-23-2018 at 12:39 AM..
