Middler Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I was a single malt scotch drinker for decades until Lagavulin just got too expensive. Bourbon became my drink of choice about 5 years ago, love a good Old Fashioned w Makers 46, but the bourbon premium is getting $ out of hand now too. I think I'm drifting toward Irish Whiskies like Jameson Black Barrel. (Un)fortunately I have a lot of bourbon in the cabinet to get through before I make the switch. I also like Margaritas with Mexican food, and rum drinks when boating, but otherwise I've been a whisk(e)y guy for a LONG time. While playing golf it's usually beer only because it's convenient though Fireball, Bloodies and RTD Bourbon & Ginger Ale have made it into the golf cart cooler from time to time. silver & black 1 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 CB 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX923 HMP 4-GW, T22 54.12WS, T22 58.04DC w Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Midsize Evnroll EV5.3 Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Ecco Biom C4, Payntr X 001 F (Mesh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscipleofPenick Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 @Middler you know if you need help consuming some of that bourbon let me know. Woodford is my usual go to as that's what I can always find and I like it a little bit more than Makers. I agree with you that the premiums for bourbons are going nuts for some reason. I get it for Blanton's or Angel's Envy or other ghost bottles. But you can't ever find Buffalo Trace! And Weller, any Weller, is only occasionally in Ohio. Side note, I was talking to the guy at the local state store, and all that hard to get stuff is release day items. The shipments are posted to a site (OHLQ.com) at like 3AM on Saturday mornings, and they have people lining up in the parking lot by 4. And they don't open till 9. The "good stuff" is gone by 9:15. Not worth it, I'll stick to what's on the shelf. silver & black and Middler 2 Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: MacGregor MT-86 Pro Wedges: Vokey 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ED13 Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Started stockpiling bottles of scotch around 15 years ago. My thoughts at the time was the decrease in water quality which could potentially impact the taste. While I have not purchased a bottle in over 5 years I still have close to 200 bottles in my collection. My preference is smoke and peat profiles. My favourite distilleries are Ardbeg and Laphroaig. When I would find a bottle I really liked I would purchase 12+ at times, especially limited releases. Glad I purchased the bottles when I did at a much lower price. Could not justify the cost to enjoyment ratio today of many of my favourites.

It’s not like wine where it changes in the bottle. Ardbeg is a go to of mine when sitting at a campfire the peat just goes so well with campfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED13 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I agree above you need to finish the last half of the bottle a little quicker. The age of when bottled does make a difference. What I was referring to was the amount of older juice than stated which was added for a better flavour profile. This ended once demand for scotch stated increasing. For a number of years scotch was not very popular among the regular populous which lead to lower stock levels at distilleries. When market was low more aged product made it into aged stated bottles to increase sales. Demand started to increase due to demand of luxury goods (including scotch) in the asian market. Pandemic demand went crazy for any liquor and no need to add anything past the stated age. A friend of mine purchased a bottle of Glenmorangie and when I stopped by his house a week later I brought a bottle I purchased thirteen+ years ago. Tasted the new version against the old and not even close. I have one more of these bottles I plan on gifting it on his birthday. One of my favourite bottles is Laphroaig Quarter Cask. If I am going to swill a bottle in one night I pull a more recent bottle from around 5 years ago. When I want a dram to really enjoy I open a much older bottle. This scenario has played out many times. ryan.mzzz 1 Quote Driver - Ping G410 Woods - Callaway Rogue 5 wood Hybrid - Titleist TS2 21 degree Irons - Taylormade P790 5-PW Wedges - Taylormade MG3 50, 54, 58, SM9 60 Putter - Mizuno Black Carbon BC3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan.mzzz Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 angels envy rye finished in rum barrels. 100 proof, very smooth and flavorful on the palate but with a little kick on the swallow. I got a bottle for $70 which seems like a bargain. Excellent out of a flask. can’t go wrong with angels envy in general, but their special releases are worth seeking out.

tommyb1683 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I am mainly a beer guy, I have been dabbling in sour beers for quite some time now and i'm loving them. I usually always have a few when playing with my buddies on the weekends. However most of my rounds these days are in the morning before work so no drinks during those rounds. It is interesting to see how much more I care about my rounds though when I am not having a few. I think it keeps me more engaged in every shot, even the bad ones, haha.

BKervin Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) I'm a Tito's and Lemonade drinker. Real lemonade jot that canned sweet stuff. I recently played True Blue and the beer Cart girl said "oh someone knows what to drink!" She then asked if I tried blueberry vodka and lemonade? I had not. I love blueberry anything. Ellicottville Brewing Companies Blueberry Beer is a favorite! Well, tried it - now I'm hooked! If you like blueberries you have to try it. I have found beer is a great cool down but doesn't always quench my thirst. These lemonade infused drinks quench while hydrating. If you try one let me know what you think.
