Steve M Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Here's what's in my glass tonight. I've been searching for a good Japanese Whisky. I found one too. Feel free to post your beverage of choice or what's in your glass tonight! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 No pic, but I'm having a post-dinner snifter of Old Bardstown bourbon on the rocks. Not nearly in the same category as your Hibiki, but a nice dram nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less melting/diluting issues as opposed to regular cubes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacKenzie Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Funny, Steve, I like the round ones too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Darth Vader would definitely be a bourbon drinker except when vacationing in the more tropical parts of the universe of course. I have a Moai tiki head and bulldog molds. Only brought out for special occasions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony b Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 You know that you are a serious drinker when you have specialty ice cube molds! (I have 2 sets - spheres and big squares) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyrus Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) So surprised that these have't been mentioned, stainless spheres. I found them sitting in the "what to do room", a gift from my daughter some years back. Much more impressive than those plastic pieces that might leak into your drink. Quite hefty little things, could be used for shot gun load and please be careful of the dental work. I think they would do well in an amber colored liquid. The Town Branch bourbon was a find at the local packy. Modestly priced for a very smooth and full tasting bourbon without the bite. I tried it on my brother whom prefers the more expensive brands and this has become a favorite. One bourbon to serve to your guest with confidence so you can hoard the good stuff for yourself Edited January 15, 2019 by Tyrus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them truly desire to make something special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it sounds better than it looks. Some Bookers for an old fashioned: ....and the ice cube; paws up 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now wine, that's another matter entirely... Anyway, here is the Death Star, planet destroyer disc facing upper left. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekobo Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 All of these pictures of drink and ice are making this girl very thirsty indeed! I am working away from home but looking forward to getting back home where the food and alcohol are, invariably, better than anything you can get on the road. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
