I always pack a liter of rum when I go to the beach...so perhaps I should try a premium rum. Do you drink it straight?

This Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage Bourbon is very nice. It has peaked my curiosity. Has anyone had their regular blended bourbon?

I love Makers. However, Old Whiskey River is right now the Bourbon of choice.

Although, currently the glass is filled with Highland Park 18 Year.ibble:

It appears both Old Whiskey River and Evan Williams are made by Heaven Hill.

John--- I drink it on the rocks. It is very smooth and a little sweet. Other faves are Gosling's Extra Old, Zaya, Appleton 21 year old, Flor de Cana 18 year old. Any of these are great on the rocks or make the perfect daiquiri: 2 oz rum, 1.5 oz fresh squeezed lime juice, 1.5 oz simple syrup made from 1 part water and 1 part raw cane sugar.

Rum is my preferred cigar companion.

Tonights libation is Crown Royal, neat. After all the small batch bourbons I've been quaffing lately, this Canadian whiskey seems a little under-flavored, but it is still a fine libation for sure. I have it paired tonight with a chunky 5 Vegas A Churchill, so that is probably part of the problem. The 5 Vegas A is simply too dark and chewy for this subtle whiskey.

Mmmm...Canadian Whiskey...takes me back home Crown Royal Special Reserve is really nice if you can find it.
Most people don't know that "Rye and Ginger" and "7 and 7" are the most popular mixed drinks in Canada. Just a bit of useless info....

Crown Royal is a favorite of mine.

I have a local microbrew on tap right now -- called Vanishing Vanilla Stout. It is a very dark brew with slight sweetness and a good blast of coffee (and obviously vanilla). It's crafted by a genious named Steve at Stone Cellar Brewery in Appleton WI.

Last night I enjoyed two fingers of Appletons Estate Rum (Pinky to pointer! lol!) Very nice sweet smooth drink made to be enjoyed neat. I am really beginning to love a nice quality Rum. As I sipped, I smoked a RP Sungrown torpedo that was was fantastic. In all the combo made for a sublime evening on the porch with the dawgs.

Tonight I think it will be some MM and a nice heminway classic!
