Figured I’d give this a try. I like it.

I love the taste, but I have had some wicked hangovers from it. I am currently going through a no-booze phase over the next several weeks so I hope to reset my body

Can't do the whiskey. Really tried and would love be able to have something just to sip on instead of drinking beer, but I just can't.

It’s acquired for sure.

Old fashioned are easy to make it home and cut a lot of the bite off.

Also pouring and letting breath for little will mellow too.

It's a bit acquired but I am opposite at this point. I don't hate beer, it's just a lot of drinking. I'd rather just have a finger or two and get a nice buzz on (when I am in drinking mode) then try and drink 2-3 beers to get the same effect. I end up mostly feeling bloated and have to piss a lot.

Good choice. Can confirm he will love it.

Actually, since we are celebrating 2020 ending, does anyone have a celebratory Whiskey I should buy for tomorrow?

Fireball sounds like a good way to send this bitch out

I agree with you and I'm not ashamed to say it.

I'm going to nail a spike into the heart of 2020 with some Evan Williams and Coke.

new to this thread. i like manhattans and old fashioneds a lot, and also just on the rocks. i acquired Tom's Town bourbon, Rieger, and Woodford Reserve Rye over the last week. have learned that 3 stiff drinks gives me a hangover so trying to find a balance.

Harry's cocktail program was pretty meh tbh. No reason you can't make a Manhattan as good as they did yourself.
