Wanting to reminisce
« on: May 09, 2014, 03:25:00 PM »
I need some time to just sit back next to a camp fire and think about the days gone by that I spent in the woods and fields, bow in hand.  The good as well as the bad. Thinking of going up to the cabin over Memorial Day weekend and doing just that.

What kind of whisky or bourbon do you recommend I sip while I do this ?

Sounds like a peaceful time.  Enjoy!

Bourbon wise I enjoy Woodford Reserve.  I'm also a fan of Tullamore Dew.

Hey Chuck, good idea.  I like Jameson, George Dickel, Buffalo Trace.  If I have to, I can get along with Maker's Mark or Jack Daniels. Should pair one of these to a good cigar.  Vega Fina is a nice mild cigar.  I also like Hoya de Monterey Excalibers. Have fun. I'm planning the same thing after my turkey hunting is over.

If I'm thirsty, just about any beer will do. If I'm looking to do some sippin', a nice single malt scotch can put a smile on my face and help me fall asleep easier. Goes well with a campfire.

Good for you Chuck.  A campfire and some sip'en Whiskey is good for your soul.  As far as bourbon whiskey, I'm a fan of Makers but just bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace that seems to go down easy.  Bowmore slightly peaty Scotch is very nice.  If you like rum, Ron Zacapa or Flor de Cana, Centenario or One-Barrel - they're all good.

Jealous of your cabin myself.  I'll be your server...  I'm partial to Jack Daniels myself.

The Woodford Reserve would be nice, but I lean more toward the single malt Scotch. In recent times, though rye has tickled my taste buds. Of course, drink whatever you prefer, but as an accomplished drinker once told me, "Life is too short to drink cheap liquor".

On another note, Trumpkin, if you want an interesting taste sensation, put a handful of fresh cracked pecans in your mouth along with a sip of the Laphroaig.

Now I do love a nice peaty scotch with a cigar from time to time, but my new favorite sipping whiskey is Seagrams 7 Dark Honey. All the other honey whiskeys out are great and all but the Seagrams one is my personal favorite. Put a few ice cubes in it and let them chill the whiskey and melt a little bit and you'll drink a bottle before you know it. Is a nice easy drink on a warm summer night.

Crown Reserve or Maker's Mark.  Lots of ice no water or soda.  Just let ice melt to just the right feel.
