Ill have one with ya. It was pretty wild! I was sure those hawks were going down, but it ain't over till that fat lady sings. What a game.

I made the wife a Manhattan using Hook Rum Gen #2 Amber rum, Sweet Vermouth and a few dashes of bitters - topped with a splash of cherry juice...
She loved it - so I was trying to get her to switch it up and use some local distillery rum and got shot down.
Apparently she appreciates the taste, lack of hangover - and lack of flushing of her skin that happens when she drinks.
So after she finished off about 250ml over the past week I finally mentioned to her that I was trying to save THAT - HAH!
Looks like I am gonna need to make some more rum... and get another barrel. Maybe a used whiskey barrel from Woodinville?
Cheers to y'all!
(I just slammed a full shot of the Hook Gen #2 Amber and can see why she likes it soooo much!)

Trying some un-oaked sweet feed, 90 proof, still needs some aging but not bad!

A first glass of my second generation all molasses rum. Just mixed it back from 58 to 47%. Went deeeeep into tails. This is going to be an increadible product! It is good already now!

All bran made with maple brown sugar flavoured farina oaked for 5 months. Id say its the fauskey version of randymarshct's maple spirit. Its alittle heavy on the oak but tasty.

I'm on that 45% neutral and lemon grass yet. Hits the spot for me

Vixisti decessura Non omnes ... similis patri ! A potu in memoria .
"You lived to die young..I will not! A drink in your memory"

16 years ago to this minute, my dad passed at age 55. Programmed himself to do so. All great uncles and granddad lived hard, drank hard, worked hard, made whiskey, lived proud, and died fore 50!

Daddy, Why didn't we have a few more together than we did? At that time I probably felt you drank mine as well as yours. Well, I still dont partake often. Probably piss you off to know it having been Chief of Police, but I make a damn fine drop myself that gramps and great uncs would have been proud of. Here is one to you!
Your son,
Ga Flatwoods

[Bigbob]

Good on ya GA. My father also passed away young (56), and I never got to really know him(I was 11) . Damned hard, hoping their proud of us.... God bless.

[Halfbaked]

GA you are a smart man. A smart man learns from others mistakes. I got a glass in the air for you and your dad.

Tater sugarhead in the white with very tight cuts. The best whote I made. Shit I only got 1/2 a pint left.

I have just finished my first beer from the Scottish Loch Ness Brewery. A red beer called "Hoppi-Ness". Ness as in Loch Ness. 4.9%, fruity, tasty, and very, very hopy.

Right now I am finishing another beer they make. Their Peated Cask Seven. A 7.1% strong real ale (non-filtered), made from 7 malts and 7 hops, and aged on a used Islay single malt whisky barrel. Peat shining through. As does the malt. Very interesting. A bit too much yeast for my taste.

I still have a bottle of their beer aged in a cherry cask. And a bottle of dark-Ness. I'll keep y'all posted!

Tonight it'll be my first oaked & aged 10 month UJSSM. It just recently hit the mark for pass-ability for me. Prior to this point, I really did not think it was worth drinking - too yeasty & hot.

I find it similar to a Canadian whiskey.

[HDNB]

been sipping some 3to4 month old UJ on oak.

I kinda ran out of AG , and it's been hard to keep walking by the S3 barrel.

i got some COB aired out for a couple weeks and on the wood for a couple of weeks. still needs a bit of time yet.

The UJ was a bit of a rough downshift, but i'm starting to like it again

[jedneck]

HDNB it had to not like uj. I feel your pain on runnin outta AG. I have enuf left for a special occasion. And just put more on oak its a nine grain on new chard white oak, gonna haft get the wife to hide it for 5 months and 3 weeks so it makes six months

[Bigbob]

Just had an early St. Patrick's Day celebration, 2fingers of my 100 proof SWEETFEED made in July .( my oldest )
ERIN GO BRAGH!!!

[T-Pee]

My sister likes lemoncello and makes it fairly often so I took a bottle of some of my vodka that had orange zest soaking in it for a couple of months at 100p.
A short tumbler, a few ice cubes, a shot of orangecello and some ginger ale made a pretty good drink. I had to leave the rest at her house so I guess I'll be making more.

[oilguy]

Currently sipping rum & coke, has been on oak since Aug/14,very tasty

[MyUncleMo]

About to pour a glass of McMenimens Monkey Puzzle. Whiskey with Hops and Honey added for flavor. It's smooth!

[ranger_ric]

Just finished my spirit run on a 4th gen UJSSM. Now It is not like anything I drank before I made my own, but I am starting to figger out the cuts. I grabbed me about 2 fingers from the middle of the hearts and put it on ice to get the proof down.. Mmmmm not a bad drop iffin I must say so myself.
This is a great hobby. way better than cuttin and waterin, and fertilizin the lawn. (although I STILL gotta do those things.)!!!

Bloody Mary with my multigrain bourbon: 1 lime wedge, celery salt (these are for the mouth of the glass), 1.5 oz of my bourbon, 2 dashes homemade hot sauce, 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, 1 tsp freshly shredded horseradish (it's Easter-time, hello!), my own tomato juice. Celery stalk, 2x blue-cheese stuffed olives, 2x ice cubes made from lemon juice.

Paulinka, you take everything to the highest level possible. This sounds like the best Bloody Mary recipe I've ever seen... right down to the ice cubes made from lemon juice. You're making my mouth water!

?? Hibiscus? You talking about a little place in a basement in New York state?

Edit, might have jumped the gun there. I remember finding a very small place, kinda below street level in Ithaca that made some wild types of beer. I remember one of them being Hibiscus... but it seemed much more like a tiny homebrew kinda place. Many years ago....

[shadylane]

I'm drinking my mistakes after they were run through a CM.

[ben stiller]

Maybe that is the company that became the Ithaca beer company which is in Ithaca NY.

Nope, through the magic of Google Maps I took a little tour of downtown and discovered it was a place called Bandwagon Brewpub. I remember it being a very creative brewpub and open late.
