The whiskey thread

[SuperSwede]

So what do you prefer after a good dinner? Single malt or perhaps a scotch?

 

[warren0728]

i'm a single malt scotch kinda guy.....i prefer the less peaty brands although i won't turn down a talisker, etc.

McCallan and Dalwhinnie are a couple of faves....

I like Bowmore and Lagavulin, really nice and smoky.

And I saw that I added scotch as an option, that was meant to be blended. But never mind

I enjoy Cognac over ice cream of various flavors!

 

[Josh]

Rémy Martin XO when I can get my hands on it - on a more regular basis, Jack Daniel's in a chilled highball glass, or in Coca-Cola.

Personally, after dinner I prefer a good cigar over a glass of whiskey. But if it's gotta be whiskey, then it better be from Lynchburg, TN, USA. Gentleman Jack is a most delictible concoction, IMHO. On the rocks, with a splash of tonic. Smoooooooooooth.

The bigger question may be: "When you drink alone, do you prefer to be by yourself?"

 

[Katastrophe]

Not much of a whiskey person, so I chose "Root Beer" out of the available options. Occasionally, I'll have a nice, cold beer. A cigar and a 15 year old Port is great after dinner, but I can't afford that often.

I was going to post a what kind of beer do you enjoy thread but I couldn't figure out how to put the clever little poll thing.

I dunno about an after dinner cocktail for me but I do like a few sips of JD from a flask

while fishing on the river on cold days.

 

[Josh]

Nice catch! I used to do a little fly fishing myself up in the Owens Valley in California. Someday I'm going to get back into it.

 

[SuperSwede]

I like fishing but I never catch anything

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Thanks Josh,

Thats on the San Juan River. I fish there a lot. Get back into it and when I go visit my uncle up in Ventura I'll swing by your place in LA and pick you up to do some surf fly fishing!

 

[Robert]

Is that you on the picture, Tone? You need a hair cut!

 

[Nelskie]

Fishin' is awesome! And that's a mighty big smile on that fisherman on the previous page! Big Walleyes and Northern Pike are the name of the game up here in Dakota country, and Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea are a couple of hot spots to get 'em.

Robert,

Too late. I did. It's back to being short now. Got tired of taking 20 minute showers and bottles of conditioner.

 

[Josh]

Surf fly? Outstanding! I'm more of a motor oil/red flake grub kind of surf fisherman, but I've always wanted to try flyfishing for Corbina and surfperch.

 

[SuperSwede]

Tone, I think that you look a lot like Robert Plant on that picture ...

 

[Tim]

I never did understand why people go fishing for flies. I would rather eat fish myself.

I have surf fished along both the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Ocean. I have deep fished in both waters too. I scuba dove and spear fished there also. I had the wonderful experience of ice fishing in Minnesota at 30 below zero. Burrrrrr.

I never done any of that fly fishing stuff. I looks like fun, as long as you do not go during salmon season. I do not know who is worse, the bears or the other fishermen!!!

 

[Robert]

Tone, we gotta go flyfishing together soon. I love doing that! You can come up to southern Alberta, good fishing here too.

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Josh - I've checked out a few fly fishing sites that cater to surf fishing the California coast and it looks like it would be a blast and very doable. Keep this idea in mind you never know man, we could do it!

SS - its funny say that...I remember in high school my friends used to call me Robert Plant cause I have light hair and it was long and curly. And of course my name is Robert.

Tim - Great little joke there. heh I'd love to go to Oregon or Alaska to catch some sweet salmon. Silvers, Coho, King...all of them. I'd also love to get on a boat and catch me a humongous Halibit (on regular tackle of course) so I can ship that baby home with me and grill it up!!!

Robert - Yeah I know buddy...you're in with the IN crowd. I'm going to take you up on your offer one day sir..just remember that.

 

[SuperSwede]

Tone, I can think of worse people to be mistaken for

back to whiskey.......

my wife came home from grocery shopping today and brought me a little gift. She stopped at the local liqour store and picked up a bottle of Highland Park 12 year old single malt from the orkney islands.

I have never tried this one....looking forward to it this evening!

what a wife!

[SuperSwede]

Hold it right there, I´m coming over!!!

 

[warren0728]
