The Hard Liquor and Miscellaneous Stiff Drinks Thread

[Beirut]

If there is a finer bottle of booze than this, I know not of it.

From one single keg to the bottle without any adulteration, perversion, or water of any kind. 120 proof and as tasty and smooth as a sunrise in Angelina Jolie's blouse.

Booker's Best. Quite possibly the best bourbon in the world.

Vodka and coke for me.

I must say I tried some Polish vodka that one of my friends brought to a couple of parties (He is Polish) and it was incredibly good - ie strong, flavourless, pretty much like water. I'll try to get the name off of him and post it here.

EDIT: And how could I forget Absinthe?

I don't pretend to be a connoisseur in this subject (we Germans still like our beer), but some favourites:

Hennessy

B&B

I just can't see "flavorless" as a positive thing. I mean, that's what good vodka is supposed to be, but why bother?

Beirut I'm not expert on whiskey at only 19, but I do know one thing. That stuff is good. My dad brought a bottle of the stuff to Germany to give to my host family and I was lucky enough to sip a bit of it with them one night. Very very good stuff.

I also like Glenfiddich, but since I'm underage and only drink with my dad occasionally I drink beer far more often than top-shelf whiskey.

Booker's is, indeed, a great bottle of booze, but isn't it hellishly expensive? I seem to remember it going to some serious coin ...

[Sasaki Kojiro]

Seems to be a bout $55 dollars a fifth. Yikes. Probably a good thing, seeing as it's 126 proof--I've heard that drinking too much 120+ proof booze kills your taste buds...thought only on hearsay.

If it doesn't kill your taste buds, it'll probably kill enough brain cells that you won't care what it tastes lie anyway...

$90 a bottle here and blisteringly hard to find. Only place I know is a booze store in Ottawa and the bottles tend to be reserved for restaurants. Shmucks.

I don't mind the price, really. First of all because it's worth it and I don't mind paying for luxury items I can actually afford. Second, I can afford it because I rarely buy more than four or five bottles of good whisky a year. I wait until something good shows up on the shelf and then grab it. I love my whisky, but I prefer to love it in expensive moderation.

There's a bottle of 16 year-old Bushmills I've been dying to try, that will probably be next. That's also about $90 a bottle. I've had the 10 year-old single malt Bushmills and the 12 year-old "standard", both are lovely and tasty.

I knew my dad enjoyed expensive booze, but damn!!!

Maybe it's a little bit cheaper here than in Canadaland, but still....Ah well he rarely has whiskey that expensive in the house, unless Glenfiddich is up there too, in which case he fairly regularly has the stuff around. I think I could justify it if I end up making a decent income though, especially since I'd probably drink it very rarely and if you sip a bit of it every now and then a bottle should last a while shouldn't it?

You're all big girls, real men drink this:

[Reverend Joe]

Nah, man...



Canned heat! And real men don't strain out the methanol, either, because real men don't get methanol poisoning.

Good old "Blutwurz" [translates into something like Tormentil liquor] from the Bavarian Forrest.

Herb-based liquor with up to 60% alc..
I would recommend it after meals...when my friends and me have one at our favourit eating place, just about 20 min. later it hits you like a warm breeze in the mind. Wonderful staff!

You are able to see [not taste it] on this funky page here http://blutwurz.penninger.de/

I like Moscowskaya Vodka and some Polish Vodkas as well. While living in the US I realized you had some good Whiskeys over there plus there are some Scotish & Irish blends I like. But well I drink whiskey about once a year.
That`s it with the hard staff...back to my favourit beers!

Peach schnapps are tasty, and I can't stand drinking most liquors straight up, they have to be mixed (I know, I'm a sissy!)

[AlexanderSextus]

drinking whiskey with anything in it other than ice is a sacrelige unless you are female.

Indeed sir. Straight up Bourbon (on the rocks if need be) and a 1-51 Tracer. That'll give you a little extra fur on the chest.

Oh, tommyrot. Scotch and soda is a perfectly refreshing drink for a summer's evening.
