Tasty Libation Thread!!!

I remember getting pissed at a bar with "monkey" in the name in King's Cross, NSW in 2001. The Wise Monkey? Blind Monkey? 3 Monkies? Who knows. The best times are the ones you don't remember.....

Must be this one Mr Boone, although it's on George Street (which is only two miles, give or take, from the infamous Cross) ???

But, yep, you're 100% - the best remembered nights are those that you can't remember that someone else has to remember for you - or something like that

Give a monkey some good whiskey and he would not be pissed.

Ah ... In Australia, we have a different way of applying the word "pissed" .... If we're "pissed off" we're unhappy (same as your pissed, I guess) .. If we're simply "pissed" we've imbibed one to many Monkey whiskies

The local distillery has a Monkey Puzzle Whiskey.

Seeing as how it's been a whisky sort of week (I'm impartial to Canadian blends, little too ... mild on the palate ... for mine) Monkey Shoulder is a nice little drop

I gave the hard stuff about 8-9 years ago. I stick with the thicker beers these days .In college, I could drink whiskey like water and I never could figure out why people drank tequila with salt and lime; but that was a long time ago; Could never stomach scotch or vodka; I was introduced to absynthe while in Japan; eventually margaritas just gave me heart burn. Beer just agrees with me.

Whiskey is my drink of choice and I often find the Canadian's smoother. I prefer a smooth whiskey served on the rocks.

I'm glad for the interest in Whiskey in this thread. I love all different types but my favorite by far is Eagle Rare 10 year. I've found that the Canadian brands/types are my least favorite however they are still much better then no whiskey!

I don't usually do much drinking at all, but this is typically my drink of choice when I do, whether straight or mixed

Not sure well it comes through in this picture, but there is a very tall shot glass that is somewhat visible on the right behind my leather jacket. Got it in Hawaii when I was there many year ago (Think it was 8 or 9 years ago now). One of these days I might take pictures of the shot glasses I have, which is quite a few (though definitely not a massive collection).

That collection will hopefully be growing next month if I think of it while I am taking a road trip from Minnesota down to southern Florida

I local Microbrewery in Oregon began distilling spirits a few years back. There first Whiskey is called a Single Malt Whiskey. I, as a whiskey drinker, thinks it tastes alot like a fine whiskey. My friends, who are scotch drinkers, think it tastes like a nice single malt scotch. It is called Hogshead Whiskey and is only one of many spirits they are now producing.
