That said, I did recently enjoy a daiquiri made with some Plantation XO, so maybe there is hope after all.


This is akin to having a Single Malt mixed with Coke

Agreed. Try it neat...I think you'll like it. Also try a bottle of Zacapa 23.

I'm a big Maker's fan, it's my house brand. But I've never been a fan of the 46, especially at the inflated price.

Not a fan of the 46 either. I do prefer Maker's for mixing an Old Fashioned rather than sipping.

The Macallan Gold. So I'm a little confused with what Macallan's doing. I guess they're starting a line of NV Scotches in which the darker it is the older it is. And I guess they are continuing their vintage line too. I like it with a small melting ice cube. Strange bottle, slightly ovoid up top, yet round at the base. Not bad--58 bucks at Costco.

Okay, it's not Maker's Mark, but as the bottle only cost me $13 on sale, it's certainly serviceable.

I think Old Grand Dad BIB is a pretty good mixer if you like a high rye bourbon. IMHO Old Grad Dad 114 stacks up really well vs Basil Hayden. Good QPR.

Fortaleza Blanco tequila barrel sample at an offline last Saturday night. I will never look at tequila the same way. I was barely able to stay awake from Drinking with my Friday group the night before until I tried this. Mind blowing and a paradigm shift for me. I ended up having a couple nice glasses of it. Looking to pick up a bottle this weekend.

I'm interested in trying this based on your post. Curious as to what about this tequila blew your skirt up - was it perhaps the first time a blanco really wowed you?

I was never a tequila fan until doing a couple of tours in Tequila on vacation a few years ago and trying different styles. Casa Herradura was a great experience.

Sipping some Riazul Anejo right now.
