Lets talk about bourbon, scotch and whiskey

[Tricia]

Ginger beer is pretty much the ultimate mixer IMO. You can mix it with vodka, bourbon, Irish whiskey, tequila(itry a Tijuana mule with good tequila/mezcal, fresh lime and Reeds or Q ginger beer).

We often have Fever Tree Ginger Beer in our pantry.
I really like to have Vernors around but I only get stocked up on that when I'm in Colorado or further east.

We prefer The Great Jamaican Ginger Beer Company for our Dark and Stormies. This stuff is spicy! We also muddle some mint into the drink. Rarely make Moscow Mules as there we use white rum.

I should have included rum since captain Morgan’s and ginger ale is where it all started.

This is about ginger beer or ginger ale with whiskey, as its in a Bourbon Scotch and Whiskey thread.
Just sayin' ...

Is there a rum or tequila thread? if not, there probably should be.

If there isn't, start one.

Well, this is interesting. You'd have to be a huge Rolling Stones fan to buy it.

Suntory makes some really good whisky. I would never pay retail but the discounted price they’re offering is likely a bargain.

I really like Suntory's offerings and often purchse it from Costco, but since I'm not a Stones fan that is not likely a limited edition that I'd spring for.
*not that I spring for limited edition stuff anyway, but...

Had a visit to the Talisker distillery on Skye recently. Chief amongst the things I DIDN'T buy was these two offers..

This is pretty tasty. A bit sweet, no bite. Quite enjoyable.

The ocean aged idea is interesting. I received some Jefferson's that was ocean aged a few years ago.

If you add the price of shipping it around the world during the aging process, the ocean aging must add a lot to the price of the whiskey. Do we even talk about the extra pollution added to the environment by these cargo ships that are transporting the barrels?

 

[Paul Lutes]

Probably no $ cost just a barrel or 10.

See, the bourbon makes me mellow and there you go harshing my mellow.

I bet they have a deal with the ship that's going somewhere with something else. A free bottle for every port visited.
