I'm drinking a La Croix which rhymes with laphroaig, but also every time it reminds me of that "crushing cold ones" picture someone posted and I laugh a little.

good tequila is great to sip, served neat is the proper way to go about it but on ice is fine too. "shots" and dumb poo poo like worms is export and misconception

maskenfreiheit posted:is sipping on tequila like you would on bourbon a thing yes very much so first, never drink anything that isn't 100% agave the four ages of real tequila are blanco (white/clear), reposado (rested), añejo (old/aged), and new in the last 10 years is "extra añejo"—all of these are about the amount of time the tequila has been in open-air fermentation, and the 7+ years required for extra añejo has only really been achievable post-2000 for some reason for a sipping rather than mixing tequila, the key word is añejo, you'll pay as much for a good añejo as for a decent scotch, and you should drink it similarly (neat) we brought a couple beautiful bottles of extra añejo tequila back from our last trip to Mexico, they've been quite tasty a few years ago we met up with family in Florida and since there were no kids, we went to EPCOT where we discovered the great tequila bar in the Mexico pavilion, we got to try Partido extra añejo there and it was likewise good we also keep a bottle of Cazadores reposado around for tequila coffee, the particular spicy flavor of Cazadores goes really well oh yeah, and Guillermo de Sauza stole my umbrella at a party, but I'm OK with that as he made sure there was lots of good drink to be had that day

bulleit's 10% off for the next month so that's going to be my poison for august, op although it's 90 proof like bt is, it always tastes a little weak to me, especially if i've been drinking 100 proofs (i haven't, lately)

my recent home brew came out less than ideal. it finished with a taste like cheap wine and i wasn't sure what i did wrong so its just been sitting in the basement for a few months. gave a few to my friend who said he wanted to try no matter what. texts me yesterday and says its actually pretty good. i chill a bottle and it's like a different beer then when i first tried. guess it needed more fermentation time?

real time update: this bottle of bulleit has a really strong toffee taste. almost as much as the last time I had Elijah Craig 12 yo. can't help but ice it down a bit, to tolerate it bulleit is no bad for the price but it's inconsistent af from bottle to bottle
