Modus Hoperandi

Cider with some Tennessee Whiskey in it. Also watching True Detective for the first time. I really hate Woody Harrellsons character.

I'm going to pick up a new bottle of Basil Haydens tomorrow and I may pick up one other whiskey. Suggestions? I don't want super expensive, anything far above Basil's price won't do it since Basil is the best whiskey I've found for the price.

Basil Hayden's is a "high rye" bourbon from Jim Beam. Same mash bill as Old Grand Dad; I prefer the higher ABV expressions of OGD as they're much more interesting than the 80 proof. You might like Four Roses Single Barrel or Bulleit as well, as they use a similar mash bill.

Bulleit and 4 Roses Single are much superior to Basil Hayden, IMO. OGD 114 is good stuff for the price. Splash a little water in to open it up, and it's a solid sipping whiskey.

Thanks Black and Whiskey, I'll try one of the three suggestions. I'll report back after I see what's on their shelf.

If you are searching for a softer bourbon that is an absolute steal I would recommend four roses small batch. About 33-35 dollars and is awesome. I prefer it over the single barrel...

Elysian Space Dust IPA

Coors. I'm going to be mindlessly stress drinking so I don't want to waste my money or good beer.

Finishing up a sixer of vanilla porter that I got a bit ago. Same line of thinking as greyhammer90

Anything that I can open and chug at this point. Don't want to remember this day.

Might need more than a quart.

Was in Ohio for the weekend so I got to sample some beers that aren't sold in MI. Last night had a beer from Hoppin Frog BC called Gangster Frog IPA. Pretty nice beer.

Fresh out. Used up the last of mine in mini Nerds boxes we passed out on Halloween.

For a high rye bourbon I like 1792 Ridgemont Reserve. Plus it is a reasonable price.

When I finally tried it, I found it perfectly drinkable but completely forgettable. There's just so much good stuff at a similar price.

Of course. Will have to dig out the ancient scrap of paper it's written on when I visit my parents this weekend.

Bumpity bump bump

Out of curiosity what does it cost up your way? Here it is $25, and the other bourbons that I really enjoy in that price range are Elijah Craig 12 ($26) and Evan Williams Single Barrel ($26). I really like some of the bourbons that fall more in the $35-40 range (Angel Envy, Willet Reserve, and maybe WT Rare Breed or Russells Reserve, though to be honest I would much rather spend the extra few dollars and get WT Kentucky Spirit, love that bourbon).

Oskar Blues Pale Ale. For the first time in a long time I poured it into a glass instead of drinking it from the can. Brought out some nice citrus notes to go with the typical pine bitterness and malt.

Sierra Nevada Celebration IPA.

Now trying to decide if I should go with Red Wine or a 22oz bomber of Stone Arrogant Bastard.
