2015 Summer Bourbon/Scotch/whiskey thread

[CajunFan3406]

Have to agree since DT got rid of Cliff.

Plenty of reasons to raise a glass to our programs. Fund raiser being hired, our players staying off the felony blotters, and stability on the coaching front. And another great year!

We aren't sweating losing players to self inflicted decisions. We aren't like the brokebacks, who this summer are so broke nobody is cutting their fields. Other supposed rival's boards are ghost towns. Ours seems to be running on anticipation of the seasons to come.

Drink up my brothers!

The brokebacks have plans in the works for a new 5000 seat basketball arena with a volleyball and basketball practice court attached. It will be built north of the current football stadium, where some apartments currently stand. Facility will have a similar feel to what many here desire for a Cajun basketball facility. So perhaps they aren't as broke as we think they are.

Ok to get back on topic. I am normally a straight bourbon drinker, meaning I like my bourbon on the rocks or straight up. Does any one drink Manhattans or Whiskey Sours? I had a Manhattan last night and I will say it was not bad. Next is try the Whiskey Sours mix that I purchased.

I like Manhattans. I'm a purist though, so I gotta do it with rye. IMO, if it's done with anything else, it isn't a Manhattan.

Thanks I didn't know about the rye. I did have mine last night with rye. I can see why you want to mix rye with some thing else. I am not a big fan of rye, but then again I have not had rye whiskey in about 25 years. It is time to broaden my horizons, thanks for the info.

That's because you probably never had good rye. Purple label don't count.

I hate rye bread, not sure anyone can eat that crap.

I like a rye sense of humor.

You have to have one when someone gives you a slice of rye bread.

Oh wait that's wry

Are you on a watermelon diet?

"The Institute of Medicine determined that an adequate intake (AI) for men is roughly about 13 cups (3 liters) of total beverages a day. The AI for women is about 9 cups (2.2 liters) of total beverages a day."

Back to the more important things of summer. I just picked up a bottle of Eagle Rare 10 year old and a bottle of W.L. Weller 12 year old. Looking forward to spending the weekend with my little ones.

Drinking some PowerAde right now! Cramping!

Don't drink alcohol, turkey! Research master!

I picked up some Sam Houston Whiskey yesterday at lunch and busted it open last night. Very smooth for the price and being from Texas

Too many great things being done by both camps to limit oneself to one or the other.
