Whiskey Choices

[deerefan]

Boulevard Wheat for beer and Jim Beam for whiskey. Don't need much else but a glass and some ice.

Did little experiment last night. Poured 1/4 glass of gentleman jack and added a small shot of fireball. Was actually pretty good. Gave it a slight bite. And me a slight buzz!!

Next time you get up to Traverse City go up on the Lelenau peninsula to the Black Star distillery. They've got Old George there. About $55 for a fifth. Fine stuff,,

Not whiskey, but when I visit the Philippines, I can have Tanduay (rum) and coke all night for about $1.50 total. Last time I was there, Pure Gold was buy one/take one at a tad over ten bucks for Evan Williams. Can't buy it that cheap in the US.

I'm sitting in a hotel room in TC right now for my wife's and my anniversary. We're headed in the wine tour tomorrow. I'll have to pick some up tomorrow.

...Not whiskey, but when I visit the Philippines...

Early in WWII in those parts...my dad said for either 50 cents or a dollar fifty a day (can't remember) a nice lady would keep a tub of iced beer (San Miguel, I think) under their bunks...

San Miguel is expensive in the Philippines now, about 30 cents a bottle. When I was living there, a dime would buy a bottle. Funny, we have a food-maxx in town now that carrys export San Miguel and Red Horse, $9.99 a six pack but its just not the same.
