I guess I have bad taste.....

[RonJ]

Apologies to those who are tired of licquor threads.
I've been looking for something to sip in the evenings along with a decent cigar. I've found that there's very little that I like.
After reading the bourbon thread I tried 3 of the more expensive brands. I have given away two bottles, the Makers Mark is still here, one shot short of a full bottle. Most tasted like they had just a dash too much lighter fluid.
I learned that I can't stand vodka. Gin is tolerable only in a martini. Thumbs down on most wines too. Then I remembered that back in my Army days most of the guys, including me, were divided between Seagrams 7 and Crown Royal. So I bought a bottle of Seagrams and bingo!....something that I actually enjoy.
I've never heard anybody here mention Seagrams, so I guess I have bad taste?

No, not bad taste by a long shot!

If there wasn't variety, what a dull world we'd have.

Plus, we'd never be able to get any, either.

The Romans used to say, "De gustibus non disputandum est." I have tried to convince people that it means either "Arguments disgust me" or "Don't spit on your goose," but it doesn't. It actually simply states the obvious about taste: that it is not something to be argued about. You like what you like. And you can do about it whatever you want.

I am fortunate in that (because of this web site) I tried Evan Williams, and found that I like it better than JD. Evan Williams is one of the least expensive bourbons around, but seems to me, so far, to be either one of the best, or simply the best. I also enjoy the reverse snobbery of drinking inexpensive whiskey, just as I enjoy shooting well with my $50 C*** Match Target Woodsman, which I rescued from being sent to Numrich for parts. [Although, truthfully, my C*** Challenger is a slightly better gun, and the Model 41 I used to own was even better , yet.]

Enjoy whatever you enjoy.

 

[RonJ]

David, a C*** Challenger?

Dear sir,

I IMPLORE you... PLEASE get thyself to the liquor store and procure a bottle of Eagle Rare bourbon. If you don't someone will see you drinking that Segrams.

And $20 hookers, although nowhere near as pretty, can be a lot more fun than those snooty Spitzer types...

Like those $100.00 Hollywood Blvd. Drag Queens...

 

[DeathGrip]

Isn't "7" and "Crown" the same except for age and of course price?

And wasn't there a middle sister named "V.O."?

Please correct me if I'm wrong as someone told me that whilst drinkin
many moons ago.

Why do y'all ** out letters in COLT??

It's not a profane word, though it is shocking to some amongst us.

Here- Use these:

My favorite end of the day drink is port. My favorite is Smith Woodhouse Colheita 1986 port.

While I don't enjoy the cigar, I do enjoy the texture and flavors that port embodies. At around $50.00 a bottle it is a little pricey but well worth it.

Lee,
On the Nikon site I visit we commonly star-out the Canon brand, or mis-spell it as Cannon etc. It's all in fun and most of us respect the other brand. I suspect that's what is happening here.

Actually, Lee, it just sorta pains me to type the "ol" part. I can almost read the word without getting nausea, but typing it is just out of the question. I think that is the feeling of many of those here, and nobody wants to offend by actually typing the word out.

Because, it says in the rules to only use things in good taste, and horse meat doesn't taste good.

Horses are illegal to slaughter for eating in this country anyway, Lee.
We's been po' up here in the mountains, but never that po'!
Thought about eat'n the mule once though...just because he was so darn stubborn.

I guess we could use the old standby:
Hartford-horsey logo off-brand piece.



Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming:

RonJ,

Have you ever tried any Geo. Dickel white label or barrel select? Good stuff if I do say so- from my perspective.

If you don't like brother Dickel's distill'n, save it for the off chance that you might have to eat a mule.
Might even cover the taste.

Those old pictures floor me with the coats, ties and Fedoras.

It's an ice cold glass of Turi (Estonian Vodka) and a good Criollo for me when I want to wind down. They complement eachother pretty well and go even better when there's a cute Russian gal waiting for you to finish and come back inside.

Sorry. I thought that it was clear, particularly in a post about taste. I simply didn't want to upset anyone when he or she might be drinking.

Ron, I do have a 6" Colt Challenger that I bought in the late 80's for $200 used. I'm not sure, but it may have been made around the time that a bunch were made for USMC to use in competition. It was (and is) a perfectly good gun for bullseye shooting, if you are satisfied (as I am) with iron sights. It can even be carried quite easily concealed, although not, in my opinion, as a defensive weapon. It would probably be one of my last guns to go.

 

[RonJ]

Thanks. I've never heard of a Colt Challenger and figured you'd had a slight brain fart when refering to a Browning Challenger. My mistake.

+1 It can get expensive but there is no end to wonderful ports. And they also go quite weil with good dark choclate.

SWID,

Try it with chocolate covered strawberries. Oh yeah!
