Too lazy to look online, any word on Winfield?
Did not participate in team practice Thursday, just individual drills. Probably a game time decision, same as Berrian apparently. FWIW P.A. does not think either will play.

Bourbon needs a mixer? Blasphemy!
Bourbon only needs ice.
Scotch & Irish only need a drop or two of water.

I've never been a straight liquor drinker, but at our office happy hour a few weeks back, by manager broke out a bottle of Buffalo Trace bourbon and I thoroughly enjoyed that on the rocks. Not something I would do very often, but it was a nice change of pace.

Also, my Brad Childress costume is going over very well with my co-workers today. Especially the Packer fans. :)

When I got to work today I had a bottle of Naked Grouse (blended Scotch whiskey) and a bottle of Buffalo Trace (straight Kentucky bourbon) waiting for me. :D

Are you planning to finish them both on Sunday afternoon? :confused:

Or, are you so proud of that that you post it in every thread?

Forgot about Buffalo Trace. That stuff is DAM good.

Well, booze came up here so I followed suit and then I saw the booze thread itself and couldn't let such a good item go without repeating. :D

I had never tried Naked Grouse until a few weeks back when they offered a sample at Kip's and I bought Buffalo Trace on a lark when I was at the LQ and was looking to try something different. Turns out it was a good choice, someone at work heard me talking about it and voila doubled my inventory.

What was the Buffalo Trace going for at the LQ, if you don't mind my asking? I've had some at a friend's place, but haven't gone looking for it yet......I've got some Black Bush and Booker's that I've been working on for a couple of weeks, but the Buffalo Trace is on tRadar......
 
Re: (un-) Official Minnesota Vikings 2009-2010 season thread

Black Bush is outstanding.
I've been working on bottles of Jameson 12 & Old Crow. :)

Tony Kornheiser is dressed up as Chili on PTI. Awesome.

Grandpa always said:

You never add water to whiskey. They did that at the distillery.

Grandpa was wise, indeed. :)

Finished a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon the other day. Give it a try.

I'm sure Grandpa is quite wise but he's off here, a splash of water does a lot for the flavor of Scotch as it really opens up the flavor. :)
 
Re: (un-) Official Minnesota Vikings 2009-2010 season thread

I usually pour a scotch/whiskey/bourbon with 2 full shots and 3 cubes.

And let 'er melt a touch. Perfect.

Some single malts are better with a splash of cool water. The Balvenie 15 yr single barrel is excellent (had it at the Kitchi Gammi Club in Duluth), but far beyond my pocket book's reach.

Another really good one is the Bushmills Three Wood Single Malt. As smooth as anything I've ever had.

Tonight will require some slight alteration. Taking the boys to a friend's house where we'll all watch them trick n treat. Both flasks will get a different spirit and given the narrow confines of the opening I will include a splash of h2o. :)

Friend of mine bought some Balvenie I wanna say 20 year for $175? I accepted his offer but yeah buying a full bottle would feel overly indulgent.

Will have to look into the Bushmills suggestion, thanks.
