yeah..no one likes drinking with me...i dont drink cheap. the cheapest il buy is usually around a 25$ liter of Whaler's Rum.

but my vodka...mmmm my vodka...

I tended bar for almost 8 years. My friends and I used to drink Jose for shots when we would go out. It's funny cause the bartenders would always put down lemons and salt and we would just want the Tequilla. I've never had the Black or the Reserva de la Familia. But the 1800 for me is like candy. Mmmmmmmmmm

I find it almost funny how the industry turned to marketing distilled spirits. First it was scotch (at least in the US) with the single malts, then the specially aged small batch single malts, then they used the same techniques for Bourbon - Makers Mark, Bookers, Bakers, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden's (I LOVE this bourbon...gorgeous sipping whiskey) and then moved to tequilla. Remember when it was the white tequilla as the well brands - think Joe Cortez(Jose Cortez) and some others whose names are escaping me - and Jose Cuervo Gold was the Top Shelf or Call brand. Now the white/clear tequilla is the more favored. One I'm familiar with is the Anejo versions.

I'll have to try the Tanqueray 10. But is that more of a straight drinking gin, versus mixing it? I've yet to develop my taste for the martini, but never say never.

I'm guessin they don't like drinkin with ya cause yer a crazy one eyed mutha fuckha!!!!

Naraz all drunk, staring with his one eye...."What the fuck YOU lookin at?"

Bar work huh? That would explain it...

In Aus the popularity really lies with the gold tequila's, a little opposite to the states it would seem and even more popular are the premium tequila's such as the 1800 range, Patron etc. I love 1800 Anejo I must say, I am more of an Anejo fan than a blanco/silver fan

Tanq 10 is a straight drinkin gin but it tastes awesome in a G&T, you just notice the difference. Tonic doesn't really mask the spirit. Where you wouldn't drink a nice single malt with cola (because cola masks the beauty of the spirit) a nice gin with tonic is great. Im not a Martini man either

I tended in a hotel for a while where many English, Irish and Scotsmen would stay for company business, and while I would NEVER consider "mixing" (shudders) something like a highland single malt scotch, those guys used to yuck it up all the time over how the Americans would ruin a proper glass of whiskey by putting ice in it or adding water.

I asked about the T10 cause imo, when you drink a mixed drink, you really shouldn't get too involved with the name (except for Tanqueray for me). I had a customer at an exclusive private club I worked when I was young tell me, and he had been a vodka drinker for longer than I was alive at the time, that for him they all tasted the same except for the the really standard well vodkas (Jacquins, Nikolai, Vladimir, etc). To him, he couldn't taste a significant difference, in relation to the difference in price, between Smirnoff and all the other populars of the time (Stoli, Ketel 1, Skyy, Grey Goose, etc).

A thousand pardons, your Majesty Kiana, for turning your thread into a discussion of spirits.

gin and tonic??? do they mix?


spotted


that's about avg price for 750ml of any liquor here.

damn so much fine liquor talk and I don't even have time to get in on the fun


*sends kiana a bottle of wild turkey and a camera*

There would be some great pics! LOL

I'll share my Russell's Reserve with you...

hmm..one thing i have noticed with ketel over any of the other vodkas is the smooth almost toffee-like undertaste that it has. its much smoother to me than most other vodkas ive tried. everyone raves about grey goose here..but its rubbing alchohol to me..might as well be mcormics

I'm waiting for pics of Kiana, too!

I'm sure that you could coax some out of her, if not I believe some of the older members may have some stuck to their harddrives, that damn cache folder saves everything.

take a lookie here.

or in bondi's thread

or in Gnappy's inbox *hint hint*

I admit I like a dash of water in my single malt;s, just takes a little sharpness away.

Vodka is Vodka imo aside from the really good stuff and that's just due to purification of the water they use. Mix anything into Vodka and all vodka's come up equal.

Tequila however is much different. I need atleast a reposado tequile when im mixing with soda or lemonade and gin is gin but T10 is just a step above and like I said, in a G&T it's beautiful!



Bondi's thread!



Hooray!... or bondi's hard drive!
