Damn liberals, next they'll ban all animal food products, then pass a law allowing all animals to be free to roam the countryside with no restraints ................. see a tiger coming your way .............. better jump in your electric car and hope it's charged up :shakes head:

"I’m a man who loves his whiskey, and there’s nothing that kills a great whiskey like ice cubes in your drink melting and watering down the flavor. The modern day solution to this first world problem has been whiskey stones, but they are definitely not as cool as this combo. The Roller Rock glass features a large spike in the middle of the glass that pairs with the large ball of ice that is created with the included mold. Apparently this cools your drink faster, while maintaing its ice form for a longer period of time.

Scoop one up here for $22. Unfortunately it is currently sold out, but I am positive due to the increased demand, supplies will follow suit."

I wanted the chrono, and it only comes in Swiss Quartz, albeit a nice Swiss movement for quartz. The automatic is nice as well, but not a chrono, and an ETA 2824 movement. This guy sells direct, and his prices are fantastic.............. same movements and quality as watches costing 4 times the price. Mine is museum grade sapphire crystal w/anti reflective coating and 316L surgical grade stainless steel. At this price point, I am happy with swiss quartz, less maintenance than the automatic. It's all personal preference, you know the appeal of the mechanical automatic movements :p

No, it is just now coming to market according to the website, but as much as I love a good bourbon, I'm going to have to try a bottle :p

$50 retail, Total Wine here will have it at a nice discount. If you click on the link above the bottle it will take you to the website.

frost 02-28-2012 11:37 PM

Wow, I'd give it a go for that.

Yea, I bet it's $42 to $44 at Total Wine based on their other nice bourbon pricing, thats a bargin for something of this reserve IMO.

Rooster89 02-28-2012 11:43 PM

I'm a scotch guy, but I am excited over this double oaked. Maybe it will make a bourbon guy? Doubt it, but doesn't mean I can't like one or two bourbons.

Nothing wrong with that. I tried to develop a taste for scotch many moons ago, and gave up after about 3 months................ just couldn't cultivate the taste for it :ugh2:

Were you trying single malt, blended, or both?

Both. At the end of the day it just had too much of a "wood" taste for me, unlike bourbon, where I can actually taste the nuances of the various brands.

Right now as a daily drinker I have been drinking Evan Williams Single Barrel Vintage, aged 10 years, about $25 a bottle. Evan Willams has traditionally been a lower end bourbon. Toward the end of the 90's they decided to make a higher end single barrel variety and the result turned out to be very respectible. It has been reviewed very favorably by quite a few aficionado rags ;)

frost 02-29-2012 12:09 AM

I'm hit or miss. For example, I was poured some blue label for my going away party and enjoyed it. But I had some glenlivet at the airport bar a couple days later and found it dreadful.

Everything from Dewars to Macallan to johnny walker. Glenlivet is good too.

There is also a place around here that makes a sorghum whiskey that is amazing. place is called AEppelTreow winery. the whiskey is called brown dog.

Looks like they also make an apple brandy. That sounds up my alley.

Some of the ingredients and culture in Southern wisconsin, Northern Illinois combine to make amazing food and drink.

The two time world champion cheese is made here.

Found a New York Times Review of the Rush Creek Reserve

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...ticleLarge.jpg

Quote:

Mike Gingrich, an owner of Uplands Cheese in Dodgeville, Wis., has made just one cheese for the last 10 years: Pleasant Ridge Reserve, in a firm, deeply nutty-tasting Alpine-style. Then, three years ago, Uplands hired Andy Hatch, a young cheesemaker who was keen on making his own mark. The result? Rush Creek Reserve.

If Pleasant Ridge is the Uplands American version of Beaufort, the new cheese takes after Vacherin Mont d’Or. Within a chalky beige rind, Rush Creek Reserve is fluent and satiny, with a rich, slightly grassy aroma and a mild flavor that hints of smoke and pork. A washed-rind cheese, it is wrapped with a strip of the same spruce bark used for Vacherin. It is made from evening milk that was not pasteurized, and so by law it has to be aged for at least 60 days. Aging this style of cheese for so long was the trickiest part, Mr. Hatch said.

He will make it until the end of the year, and it will be sold until late February. It’s best enjoyed by removing the top crust and scooping the cheese with a spoon. “It’s a holiday season cheese intended for people to share,” Mr. Hatch said.

Rush Creek Reserve, about 13 ounces, is $19.99 at Murray’s, $25.99 at Saxelby Cheesemongers, and about $24 for a whole cheese and $12 for a half at Bedford Cheese.
