Drogue, a tour for the house, I just heard that CyCon has as many members as Hive. That need's to be celebrated.

* GeoModder sticks out his hand in which Drogue VERY shortly undoubtedly will put a surprise drink

/me puts a 'surprise' drink in GeoModder's hand

Enjoy

Tsk! Whiskey should be served at 105 proof, anything above that means it's been diluted with ethanol, and loses it's flavour

Actually, Skanky's has 39, while Jamski and I have 37

Which means the post after this I make, I become equal with Kass on the biggest alcoholics of all time list

That's just silly +1s, and as the official bartender and list co-ordinator, I declare that they will not be counted (I'll ask Tass to move them to the spam deletion thread). Double posts, when replying to different people, are fine, there is a point to using two posts. Sentances that are just spam like that attract moderators.

Jamski · February 5, 2004, 08:03

Well, quickly, let's have an important philosophical debate and push onto the next page so noone can see them.

Bad Jamski, bad!

Ok then, the most important question of all: what would you like to drink?

Booker's Bourbon is the only uncut, unfiltered, straight-from-the-barrel, connoisseur's sipping bourbon available today. It's bottled at its natural proof of between 121 and 127, and aged between six and eight years.

It is the best bourbon. Apparently. I haven't actually opened the bottle yet, I am saving it for a special occasion.

Drogue · February 5, 2004, 09:22

Ahh, must be different for bourbon. Scotch, straight from the barrel, is between 60 and 65% vol (about 105 proof). Glenfarclas is obviously, being a single malt, uncut and unfiltered. Wonderful stuff, that and Glenmorangie are my favourite malts

The only US whisky I've tasted is the stuff we get here, Jack, Jim Bean and Southern Comfort.

Skanky Burns · February 5, 2004, 09:33

Ugh, Southo. That has got to be the worst bourbon ever. Although technically it is a peach liquor, not a bourbon. But you have to wonder about a product that attempts to look like a bottle of methylated spirits.

In my collection at home, I have Bookers, Makers Mark, Jack, Jim Beam (white, green, 4.5 liter barrel of black), Canadian Club, Wild Turkey and Wild Turkey Rare Breed. I think that is all the bourbons. Plus your assorted wines and liquors.

I'm not much into scotch, so the only one I have is Johnny Walker Black label which I bought when it was around $15 off.

Drogue · February 5, 2004, 10:44

That's a lot of Bourbon

What are the characteristics? Which work best for different things? I've heard of a most of them (except for Bookers and Makers Mark).

Peach liquor? Doesn't taste of peach

Doesn't taste particularly nice either, but it's what my non-whiskey drinking friends will drink. At £15 a bottle it's a bit dear too. Decent blended scotch is only about £11-12, although Jack is ~£17.

can CC's be plugged to electricity?

Drogue · February 5, 2004, 11:04

We can recharge the batteries for our enhancements, yes.

w00t, 3 people on 42 posts exactly

Maybe it's a sign...

Even minor lightning can do the trick

Jamski · February 5, 2004, 17:55

Hmmm, whisk(e)y chat

I have to admit that for scotch I like JW red label. Yes, its not the best, yes its a blend... but its just the whiskey I've always been drinking. My flat is full of empty JW bottles. As for Yank whisky (bourbon) I like Wild Turkey or Makers. Jack is a Tenessee whisky, not a bourbon BTW, and Southern Comfort is a mixer

I got a very nice Speyside 20-year-old single malt for Xmas though from Mrs Jamski's dad. That's nearly all gone

Jack is a Tenessee Sour Mash. Southern Comfort may be a mixer, but it's used in the best titled cocktail of them all.

Actually, I was going to leave it to your imagination

I hate to define such exuberant pleasure

Skanky Burns · February 5, 2004, 19:26

Makers Mark is my favourite bourbon, very smooth and tasty, but it has some bite as well. It is the strongest bourbon available for under 50$ along with Wild Turkey, both of which are 43% alcohol per volume. It is sweeter than Wild Turkey. Funny that both of these ones are Jamski's preferred...

I realise that JD isn't a bourbon, but I didn't think there was much point in bringing that up.

/me listens to the whiskey/bourbon debate, shaking his head...
Drogue, could I have a simple Becherovka please? It´s not a bourbon, but it´ll do the trick for €5

Skanky Burns · February 5, 2004, 21:13

All this talk of bourbon is making me thirsty.
Drogue, I think you know what to do.

/me rushes out, grabs a few of bottles of bourbon, plants down 3 shot glasses, and using his bartending attachment pours all 3 shots at once, before planting a bottle next to each glass.

Looks like a good night

Provided a while ago, IIRC. Nevermind, was probably drunk by someone else
