With ya there. I'd take wild turkey and coke over WT honey and coke zero any day, and be getting less sugar!
I did actually have a coke life and corn today and it was not bad at all. If ya don't know, coke life is sweetened with cane sugar and stevia. Tasted just a bit thin compared to coke classic but not artificial at all.

There’s also a WT Honey Sting, which has ghost peppers.
As far as I can find, it’s the only spicy whiskey on the market that doesn’t use cinnamon. It’s too sweet for me, but I love that ghost pepper flavor.

Funny, I only tried it because a friend got it as a gift, and stopped by my house and said, “you like spicy stuff, right?” Too much for him, I guess. A couple of ice cubes cut down the sugar a bit, it’s still one of my favorite sippers.The Baker wrote:Saw it in the shop but was not brave enough to buy it for the daughter-in-law!raketemensch wrote:There’s also a WT Honey Sting, which has ghost peppers.

I picked up a bottle of Woodford Reserve about a month ago. Damned if it ain't almost empty already. It's good. It's changed my distilling goals, as now I aim to make whiskey as good as Woodford. My new favourite!

+1 on the Don Julio Anejo, good stuff. Recently got a bottle of "the bad stuff" after meeting the distiller.
Most recent purchase was a bottle of gin from Half Hitch Distilling. Had a great time visiting with the distiller and they make a good product. I believe it is on distribution in the states.

Angel's Envy Rye, 95% rye grainbill. Big surprise, I picked up their bourbon several years ago, didn't care for it, too headsy. Their rye is amazing, a bit of water and time to open and it is dessert in a glass. Wonderful stuff, unlike anything I have ever tasted. Just delicious!

If you guys like rye whiskey you gotta try Canadian Club 100% Rye, it's my go-to commercial whiskey!

Re: What was your latest (or last) purchase at the liquor st
its good to hear some referrals i live in a small town that just in the last year opened a likker store after about 3 decades ... so the choices are slim but when i travel i try and pick up a little bit for my lazy phazes when i dont make my own.Antler24 wrote:just sayin wrote:Angel's Envy Rye, 95% rye grainbill.

2 years ago i went to oregon for a few days and sat at a bar and sampled a few of the different Rye whiskeys and discovered the Colonel E H Taylor straight rye... a little spendy but i keep it on the top shelf for special occasions. I had to pull it down just now to confirm the correct name.... hmmm still have half a bottle... need to make some more special occasions.

Wasn't purchased was a gift...Knappogue Castle 16 yr Single Malt. Finished in sherry casks. 3 fingers in a short glass, 1 cube. An almost religious experience. If I could make stuff that tasted like this, I'd be dead.
When I was a boy, I prayed for a bicycle. I soon learned G~d doesn't work like this so I stole a bike and prayed for forgiveness.

"Prestige" brand brandy. I occasionally buy their whisky too. I like the more expensive stuff too but I find this brand to be pretty decent for a bottom shelf brand. The whisky is roughly on par with Evan Williams if my taste buds tell true. The brandy is just mellow and smooth.
