Seriously, it's like sipping Nyquil.

Ugh.

Scotch? Sure.

Bourbon? Love it.

Wine, beer, rum, even vodka for Pete's sake.

But cognac just makes me shudder with disgust. Prescription-strength BLECH.

(Yes, it's the only booze in the house tonight. One more glass and that is IT.)

I'm not a bourbon fan. Some feller, who shall remain nameless (rhymes with ate-crack-frisco) left a near full bottle of Kessler's and a 1/4 full bottle of Jim Beam Black here.

It'll be here when he comes back, too... does it keep?

Bourbon? It keeps in my house for days at a time.

(When I die, however, this cognac will be here for our home's next owners.)

Gin? Good for tonics, but I can't just sip it.

Cognac? Agree with your assessment. (Can I get a pass on the pole-smokin' slander-thing if I spit, rather than swallow tonight?)

Hold on, TJ. I never said I didn't like Scotch.

I have always liked beer. I have tried some rums I liked as well (Zacapa for one, but it got too sweet for me) and Tequila just makes me even more of a douche than I already am, so I stay away from that stuff.

Beer is basically my go to. Love it. I need to learn to moderate, though. I will sometimes go for weeks at a time without drinking anything and then when I grab a 12 pack... I drink all 12.😲

I was just agreeing to your cognac comment and added the scotch thing. Got a couple of bottles here at the house aging (until someone ESLE comes to drink them).

MACS wrote:

Yes. It'll keep fine. All distilled spirits will. Ones with a lot of added sugar might get a bit wonky on you after a long period of time, but that's about it.

Just keep it out of the sun and don't cook it - continued high temperatures to the plastic bottle Kessler comes in has a chance of causing an off-taste in the drink.

Throwing the bullshiat flag here, that's simply not possible. On the douche scale of 1-10, you already go to 11.

1/2 of a bottle of Laphroaig does turn you into an douchey assbag version of Red Forman though.

Cognac has to be VSOP or better and it is delish. I always described cognac as tasting like brandy filtered thru dirty socks.

It is a taste developed thru time. Armagnac is XLNT as well. It is referred to as "The Velvet Flame".

However,scotch is my drink of choice,specially Lagavulin 16. X

I can't stand gin.... ugh, it's like drinking a pine tree. Anything else is good with me though... bourbon, scotch, cognac, port, sherry, etc etc etc. I don't drink a lot of mixed drinks. When I have a cigar, I keep a glass of ice water and my drink choice of the night.... usually scotch or bourbon, neat.
