warren516 Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I've been drinking Jim Beam Devil's Cut. I have to tell you that I'm enjoying this drink straight. It's very smooth. About Devil's cut from the Jim Beam web page: As bourbon ages, a portion of the liquid is lost from the barrel due to evaporation—that's the "Angel's Share." After aging, when the bourbon is dumped out of the barrel, a certain amount of whiskey is left trapped within the wood of every barrel. We call that the "devil's cut." To create Jim Beam® Devil's Cut™, an extraordinary new bourbon experience, we developed a proprietary process that actually pulls the rich whiskey trapped inside the barrels' wood after they're emptied. We hold this barrel-treated extract until it develops the proper balance of bourbon notes, then blend it with 6 year old bourbon and bottle at 90 proof. The result: a robust, premium bourbon with deep color, aroma and character.

Warren Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 My Wife has been away in the US for 5 weeks and doesn't get back until November so the answer to this question is LOTS AND LOTS.

maverickdrinker Posted October 22, 2011 Author Posted October 22, 2011 got to gtry a dram of Té Bheag tonight. Nice, easy going scotch. Good recommendation Conor!
maverickdrinker Posted October 22, 2011 Author Posted October 22, 2011 Went to LCBO Summerhill today for sample heaven. Had some free samples of a Islay and Highland that weren't that memorable. Tried the ***** 12 and the GlenFiddich 21 again. The ***** was quite good. Finished the tour with a free sample of some south of france Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec. They were ok. The free crabcakes, onion tart with duck confit and beef tenderloin were fantastic.
CigarAsh Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 The wife is making margarita martinis tonight. Patron silver with. 3 different types of orange liqueur, fresh squeezed lime juice. Into a martinis shaker with ice.. Served straight up in a sugar rimmed martini glass. Nectar of the gods. Goes great with my Cohiba Robusto.
Puros Y Vino Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Red Diamond Cabernet Sauvignon 2009. Excellent rich, bold wine very reminiscent of a well aged Barolo.
maverickdrinker Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 Glenlivet 18 tonight as I recover from my son's first bday party.
maverickdrinker Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 tried some Jack Daniel's Honey tonight as well. You can really taste the honey in this. I think you can only have a couple of these before it becomes overwhelming. I think of it as the bud light lime symdrome.
riazp Posted October 23, 2011 Posted October 23, 2011 I had some Té Bheag and Gentleman Jack last night while smoking a Dip 4.
maverickdrinker Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 Oban 14 with Shlomo and Riaz in MTL tonight.
Stalebread Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I had some Té Bheag and Gentleman Jack last night while smoking a Dip 4. A friend turned me on to Genteman Jack over the weekend. Since I don't usually like whiskey I was surprised at how smooth it is. No heat to speak of. Some pretty strong fruity notes. .
bc8436 Posted October 28, 2011 Posted October 28, 2011 Compass Box Flaming Heart. Loving this .... very complex and balanced.
maverickdrinker Posted October 30, 2011 Author Posted October 30, 2011 Went to dinner with the wife and little guy. Had some johnnie walker blue label and lagavulin 16. The laga reminded me of laphroaig. Smoke like a country fireplace. Starting up on a highland park 18
riazp Posted October 30, 2011 Posted October 30, 2011 Last night I had a laporaigh quarter cask from a newly purchased bottle. Very exellent!
