What Kind Of Whisky To Ease This Pain

It's 4-20. 'Nuff said.

U deserve to chain smoke a couple packs of cigarettes, because you obviously don't deserve to own a nice pipe!

Just kidding!

But punishing your tongue smoking some captain black or something would be fitting....

Obviously a boilermaker of sorts...MD2020 in Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull....we called them MadBullDawgs in high school....back about 4 decades.

I rarely drink whiskey anymore, I had my years of glory during my college years. But I did like a good Irish, or an old Single Malt Scotch, I occasionally still indulge ...

That sounds a little lightweight. I think a Trainwreck would be more appropriate. I was introduced to it in a bar in Nome, Alaska in September 1972. It's like a boilermaker but with a shot of Everclear dropped into a glass of beer.

Like you, I may have a dram or 2 during the week, at most. Maybe 1 while writing in my journal. Hence, I splurge on good whiskey/whisky for thsee times because, why not enjoy the best if you are not going to drink it off in a week or
sitting. Also, C19 has shown us, if nothing else, that our days should be enjoyed while they can be enjoyed. For my pipes, I far more enjoy iced sweet black tea.

Give yourself a treat & don't beat yourself up too badly -- Elijah Craig Small Batch. Enjoy

I'm no drinker at all from the perspective of most drinkers I know, however I'm not a teetotaler. In the self medication department, so much depends on how you drink. Some can't even get started without some high test multi-proof cocktail double. In my case, going numb doesn't help. I need to be sentient enough to experience the healing of mind, however cloudy. For me that doesn't take much. I'd do a little (for this purpose) very good bourbon.

A bottle of Jack Daniel's and a copy of Frank Sinatra's In The Wee Small Hours.

I was really enjoying Larceny for my money, but got on a Wild Turkey bend and except for the occasional side track into Old Ezra, Elija Craig and Old Granddad that’s where I have stayed for my Manhattans or neat.

 

[bullet08]

Thunderbird or MD 20/20. Irish Rose. Yeah, something to drawn the sorrow. My college day drinks. Miss those days.

Old Ezra

Ezra is one of my staples. Found the Old version for $50.00 a fifth. I can get a half gallon for less than $30.00. WTF???...

Maybe it's like gas. I saw that regular is US$1.83 today. I haven't seen gas price that low in awhile.

Yea, the 117 proof stuff can go pretty high. I got a bottle in the state lottery for $40. Very tasty!

Know this?

"However, upon tasting coffee, Pope Clement VIII declared that, "This Satan's drink is so delicious that it would be a pity to let the infidels have exclusive use of it." Clement allegedly blessed the bean because it appeared better for the people than alcoholic beverages. The year often cited is 1600."

back in the day when there was a strong debate about if coffee should be legal or not.

I was polishing the stem of this gorgeous Camelia bulldog estate that I picked up and it slipped out of my hand and onto the hard tile! I don't think my wife properly appreciates the silent suffering I am going through.

My dad used to always tell me to be careful where I poke my pipe. Maybe this is what he meant...

Paddy’s is the best Jameson priced Irish whiskey in my meager opinion...

Couldn't agree more. It is comparable to higher priced single malts like Knapogue Castle and honestly, I prefer Paddy's to Red Breast, heresy some might say, but thats like just my opinion man.

Maybe 70+ Mom turned me onto it...thankfully it’s becoming more widespread in the USA.
