Johnny Hammersticks Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Recently discover a local rye whiskey from a distillery called Whistlepig. It's fairly pricy at $65 per bottle, but boy is it smooth and delicious. Makes a great Manhattan, but even better neat or on the rocks.

Jobu Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) My dad exclusively drank scotch when I was a kid. Me and my buddies tried to cut it with everything known to man. We eventually settled on Squirt. Tasted like crap. But it worked out great for us because my old man drank scotch and waters, so hiding our tracks was pretty easy without getting noticed. Easy way to get sauced for us. Edited April 7, 2015 by Show Me The Baby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
