Default Crown Royal XO

Life is too short for cheap booze.

Yesterday I went to the liquor store to replenish supplies. I usually
have on hand something from each of the food groups, bourbon, scotch,
rye, rum, vodka, gin.

I was low on bourbon and out of rye so I picked up a Makers Mark 46 as
I've liked it in the past. Then I was not sure what else to get and
considered another Crown Royal. They also have two premium versions of
it so, for a few bucks more I got the XO.

My son came over for a drink yesterday so I opened the bottle for us to
try. Wow, this is smooooooooth drinking. Well worth the few extra
bucks. If you want to give yourself a treat, give it a try.

I've also experimented with ice. A bit of a gimmick, but it does make a
little difference. You can buy molds to make ice balls. I have one
that makes four but bought another that makes two balls, each 2.3", and
clear ice. The idea is that the clear ball will melt slower and let the
flavor open up but not dilute. If nothing else, is looks good in a nice
glass.

My son never drank good liquor itself, mostly vodka in juice kind of
things so it has been fun experimenting with him. We've tried a handful
of different gins with tonic, now a couple of bourbon and rye.

I can handle anything but the bourbon, but I keep trying every couple
of years. One day, I'll like it.

I'll take the vodka in juice, with plenty of juice. Lime, for
preference.

Save yourself some money, scotch is basically a whiskey, rye is a
grain that is used in making whiskey and scotch, Vodka is just shitty
cheap rum, and gin is just disgusting.

Run is All ya need, rum is all ya need.....

No I am not saying that rum and vodka are exactly the same, just that

ahh yes not the big T. The teq teq is a liquor on its own. It has no
comparison in any dimension. It is gluten free and not contains no
wheat or wheat products unless it is some cheap Americanized version.
Do they make the teq teq in America?

You're clueless, aren't you? Don't answer that; I already know the answer.

Last year, I bought the last bottle of Galliano (small, 375ml) in this
valley (Arkansas R. headwaters)!

It's not the same as it was in the 70s-80s. Bol bought the rights to
the brand and returned it to the original recipe, which has a higher
"anise" flavor than the old recipe. No matter how little Galliano one
puts in their Wallbanger, it's not the same. It's undrinkable! I still
have 3/4rths of that bottle).

In fact, we have a Wallbangers Sports Bar in one of the towns close to
me. No one knows the origin of the name!! That's how bad it is fer
Harvey Wallbangers, around here! We have the bar, but do NOT know why
it is called "Wallbangers".

I don't like PGA cuz it's too strong of an alcohol (in CO, one can buy
151 proof or even higher). I made some Lemoncello and even at half
strength, it was TOO strong. Next time I'll use vodka.
Yer homemade Galliano is probably better that what can be bought, off
the shelf, these days.
