Thanks! Yes. I hand picked this marble tile and had my guy cut to fit my bar. It came out amazing.

Nope, it was the Basil Haydens Two by Two Rye. I have and like them both, but prefer the Two by Two.

Go for it, I’m about to have a few myself. I recently picked up a bottle of 17 year single malt scotch and need to open it.

Basil is pretty tasty.

I'm going to do all you bourbon whiskey lovers here a HUGE FAVOR.

I was to the liquor store a few weeks ago looking to pick up a bottle of bourbon.
I was about to buy some Knob Creek or Woodford Reserve when the manager there came and told me about this whiskey.
He said it was really good and I should give it a try.

It was $30 for 750ml.

IT SUCKED!!!! Harsh, no depth, and not deserving of being labeled a "bourbon"

Bought bottle of addictivo tequila been sipping at pool

I had something similar happen to me with some rum once. I called the manager and told him about it. They offered me 25% off my next purchase. I'd suggest you do the same.

You didn't do all-inclusive. I am disappoint

No not a fan at all, too many places to eat and drink would be a waste.

Invisible brew for an invisible picture?

Here is a quick pic of my current lineup of scotch. Just finished my highland 12, will definitely get it again. Bottle on far right was $20 and actually not bad.. to sweet to be considered a good scotch but for $20 I've had much worse.

We should really have a cigar thread to go along with this one too...

Glenlivet is too sweet?

Maynard · 10-11-2018, 03:29 PM

Nothing from Islay? At least try a Bunnahabain, or go big and get some Laphroaig (Quarter Cask), or Lagavulin 16yo.

TXSTYLE · 10-11-2018, 05:23 PM

Said I would grab a bottle as soon as it became available!

Winter Is Here...

It is really good. Per instructions, I left in the freezer over night and had straight.

Enjoying the last couple of bottles of my Oktoberfest from the wonderful people at Franconia.

That cheap one is, most of the nicer ones are good though.

I am not a fan of the peat/smoke taste, which I think these have based on a quick bing.

M_Six · 10-11-2018, 09:32 PM

Lousy week at work as well as my retirement account getting hammered in the market has me drinking Gentleman Jack from a fishbowl glass. Just have to make it through one more day.
