I drink Jim Beam and chase it with ice tea. Would'nt mind if I had a bottle of Crown right now but its about 30 miles to the closest liquer store. These dry counties suck
Originally posted by Mil1ion I have a un-opened quart size bottle of a sipping Whiskey called "Centennial" that was made in 1957 & given to me as a christmas gift in 1971.
That makes it 46 years old.
I also have a un-tapped bottle of Cognac from the 50's.
Does anyone have any ideas about what to do with these Liquid Gems?
NOW we're talking! If you want to talk about SMOOTH liquor, then there's really only one: Grand Marnier centsinquantennaire. That would be 125-YEAR OLD cognac! I've only had it once; at $29/ shot, that's about all I can afford!
I moved from California to a dry county in Georgia. No alcohol licenses issued anywhere in the county. Neighboring County, however wasn't dry, so at every county line road there was a pit stop. Some of them pretty rural, with signs saying Last Chance for Alcohol next 10 miles and such. Made you have to stock up or plan well for events and such.
Odd thing "private clubs" were exempt, though there werent many of them they were notoriously rough.
The system fostered alot of bootlegging too. I worked at a bait and tackle run by a man who was related to the Sheriff. He'd call the owner, say he'd heard that we were selling beer. The owner'd get hotter than a firecracker and tell him to just get up there and check the store out. Soon as he hung up, he'd hand me keys to the boatshed and cooler padlock. I'd empty the cooler and stack everything on the old man's plymouth valiant ... cases on the hood, backseat, front seat, trunk-- everywhere. Drive over to the boat shed unload everything and button up. All the local old guys sit and watch me working... Sheriff walk in, nod his head, say hello but the store owner'd grunt and turn away. Sheriff walked through, looking at the coolers and announce everything looked allright and leave.
Get the keys, bring all the beer back and load the coolers. Real pain but good memories!
After many drinking excursions and trial and error, I have found that Jim Beam and ginger ale is right for me. I seem to be able to drink alot of Jim in this combo and have yet to be hung over. I have drank Jack Daniels and ginger ale together and was good as well, but Jim tastes a little better in that combo.
