the holy spirit. :D
i don't drink alcohol. i gave it up back when i realized it was interfering with my ability to think and function correctly. lol
Define spirit. Distilled, non-corporeal, school spirit? I interact with the second on a regular basis, drink a bit of the first on occasion, and never really had much of the third. I do like Cuervo. I don't dance on bars. I have yet to shoot out any lights.

I do not like alcoholic drinks. :)
Many people react detrimentally to alchohol.
Myself, it just makes me soften a bit and then fall asleep...drinking Glenmorangie 18 year right now..yes...I love Scotch!
Cheers!
Welcome Slayer......Like Bogie said..."Maybe it was the bourbon"....
I like Knob Creek....

I drink Paul Masson Brandy, it's delicious and brandy you drink the most should be the best. Paul Masson Brandy is sensibly priced at a dollar a jug. The more I drink the better it is.

If you can afford it and get your hands on a bottle (only 3000 made and 600 were made available for retail) then try this one. It might be tough to get on your side of the pond. I intend to get my butt to Ross and try some soon. ;)

QuoteAccording to The Dalmore's master distiller Richard Paterson, the brand owner is hoping to raise a seven figure sum in the next 10 years to help protect the family's place in Scottish history.
Paterson said: "Whether you are a Mackenzie or not, with only 3,000 bottles available globally, this is your chance to own a little piece of Scottish history.
"I have been nurturing casks at The Dalmore and monitoring their progress for some four decades. The challenge to craft a whisky fit for the Earl and all Mackenzies was an inspiration. I am proud to be able to help the clan by creating a whisky with a regal heritage and one which is truly fit for a king, as well as a Clan Chief."

You can see the Clan Chief below at the unveiling of this very special drink. Behind him is 'Fury of the stag', by Benjamin West. I have also posted the painting itself below.
QuoteAlexander III of Scotland was out hunting with Colin Fitzgerald, founder of the Clan. The King was attacked by a stag and saved by Fitzgerald who killed the stag by spearing the beast through the forehead. In gratitude Alexander granted Fitzgerald the lands of Kintail in Ross and the McKenzie armorial bearings show a stag bleeding from the forehead.

Hi Slayer, long time no see ;)
I like anything i've never tried, anything with 'glen' in the name is pretty good, like Grant, Fiddich,Talloch LOL
I avoid the cheaper blends & that awful bourbon stuff, McDiesel i call it....

Little "E" can you send me a link to that bourbon, I searched the other day and I can't find it .
The only alcoholic spirit of any description that I have ever encountered, which I do not particularly like, is rum; although admittedly, the only two brands of that which I have had, were Bundaberg, (brown) and Bacardi, which is white. I have also never been a wine drinker, and while beer can be tolerable, the paler the better.
I do not drink any more, as a general rule, but when I did, my poison of choice was generally Wild Turkey; and preferably either the 8 year aged or the Rare Breed, if I could afford it. The cheapest grade is 4 year aged from memory, and is very harsh, comparitively speaking.
Usually I would mix Wild Turkey with Coke; particularly if I only had the lesser aged grade. I have drunk all three grades of Wild Turkey directly from the bottle, but given its' corrosiveness, it is not the best drink for that purpose. I have a bottle of Dimple Scotch in the wardrobe behind me as I type, and taking small sips of that on ice is acceptable. Chivas Regal, however, would probably be even better for that purpose, as while I believe that Dimple is a higher grade Scotch, it is also stronger.
Although it is not my first choice, I have also been known to drink Jack Daniels when it has been available, and to quite enjoy it; it can even be slightly more enjoyable than Wild Turkey if it is mixed appropriately, as its' foreground flavour is somewhat stronger. Jim Beam for me, is probably the most dubious of the bourbons that I have had, despite it being my father's drink of choice. It is not so much that I actively dislike it, but rather that it needs to be mixed more carefully than probably anything else I have had, in order to be enjoyable.
Irish whiskey I have virtually no experience with; although from memory, there was a cheap one which some friends used to share with me in Sunbury on occasion. It did the job, but it was not particularly noteworthy either way.
Having a single kidney has meant that I have had to almost completely forsake alcohol; and given that whiskey truthfully has been one of the greater joys of my life, that is to my sorrow. Had I still both kidneys, I would be an avid connoiseur; and not for the purposes of alcoholic escapism, but simply because it is enjoyable. I drink alcohol primarily for the taste; if altered states are what I am looking for, I will generally look elsewhere.
Sorry, Petrus. It will never work between Us. [grin] I like M'beer so dark and thick a spoon stands up in it. I guess this is it, then. [wink]

Interesting thread, I am glad I stopped in to read it, there was one thing that LE had posted that made me laugh hard, and with LE's track record for catching me off guard with what he posts, well lets just say he has a knack for doing this repeatedly...LOL ;)
It was because of this supplied photo:
(http://saltedchocolate.files.wordpress.com/2012/07/vodka-bottle-in-watermelon.jpg)
Back in the 70's, my mother decided to sell Avon prod. She always had good turn outs and such, so she decided to have a big Avon party with all the fixing's for a cocktail party.
She had a friend that was just coming out of the Hippie era and was somewhat of a chef when it came too setting up these type's of parties. My mother is not an alcohol drinker, does have a liking for 7/7's and also BV Cokes, well my mom was at a loss how too make it special, so her Hippie friend offered a suggestion "Why not have spiked Melon Balls?" the horse was off and running...LOL
As the time came closer to the big night of the party, my mothers Hippie friend unfortunately couldn't be there too help her prepare the succulent feast and had given my mom verbal instructions. During these instructions, my mother had misinterpreted one statement that was being made for creating the perfect Spiked Melon Ball, and that was her friend told her "use a clear alcohol for the spike" this my mother registered as "EverCLear" for alcohol...110% LOL
Needless to say, it was quite an Avon party, nothing but women dancing, singing laughing and hugging..... That memory has not been in my thoughts for many years, and growing up in this era of finer thing's in life ideologies such as being able to throw an extravaganza such as an Avon party, well, lets just say "It was a night too remember and funny as He#@!!!"
Thanks once again LE for lifting my spirits, as your posts usually do. ;)

Well, that leads too the sequel of the story, was another laugh. Mom had waken up with massive hangover, started to get her bearings and started going through the receipts from the night before for the sales, as she was over viewing them, and looking at the night signatures as they went on, they became more and more illegible for reading....LOL Even mom was laughing at that, and her Hippie girlfriend was the one to wake her up the following day too ask how things went, of course her hippie girlfriend offer the cure for her ill feeling with hangover, "Hair of the Dog that Bit ya!" LOL
Clearly evident then and there though, "Don't conduct business under the influence!!" Ha ha ha! Good thing there were names stamped on the checks to get back in touch with those type's of payments, My mom had no idea what some of the receipts even said with such terrible writing....LOL Couldn't even make out th order forms from about 1 hour after her party started...Haha! Was really funny, guess you had too be there. And I am glad I was. Great memory, and funny as he$@ too remember.
I just called my mom too remind her of that party, we are now both laughing so many years later...
1WW
Hmm, if we fill Pimander with enough melon and stollie will he become a "melonstollie baby?" I've never tried Everclear. My cousin, who boasted of his ability to handle that stuff, tried some Tennessee moonshine that I had received from a friend. The moonshine outshone the Everclear. That moonshine was pretty good stuff. Wish I still had some.
Shasta
Thats a story that made me ache with a bit of belly LOL 1ww ;)
Thanks for sharing and sheesh wish i was a lone male at that party LOL
It was a Riot Soma, You truly had too be there to see all the thing's that ensued shortly after the succulent melon balls were consumed...LOL And I happen too be the only male person there, there was one of our neighbor's that was a bachelor, and of legal age, knew my mother well, he had watched us when her work called her in, poor guy got Wolf-Whistled with every step he took, his name was Dwayne, also a Hippie era type of gut, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, etc. etc. Was always a "FUN" time having him sit us, taught me how to view thing's differently, so, felt real bad when the women of fleet Avon harassed him to the point of forcing melon balls with in his mouth, was hilarious, remember the sheer chagrin of agony as they surrounded him...LOL Was so funny, a night too remember and reflect on, times have changed, and thing's such as innocence is questionable, it was a hilarious mistake made by mother's perception of what was being said. LOL
Thanks for letting me share this story, have too remember, this was something on the fringes of abnesia, glad I read this posted thread...Good discussion thread!! ;)
1WW
That is a really funny story. Thanks for sharing.
I can just imagine the conversation at the party also. If it is anything like some all women parties my wife has been involved with, the topics discussed would make a lot of men blush!
