I'm so sick of the election BS. It IS a good excuse to get some mags, BTW anyone have a PTR 91 they want to sell? I've got a shit load of mags for it don't have nay guns for it.
Did I mention that I like Bushmills. Where's PubBoy. I need some Guinness! Your avatar makes me thirsthy. So what are you drinkling tonight? |
|
Damn this is good shit! |
|

got some Glenmorangie when my mom and step-dad visited the place they make it. brought me and my brother a sort of 'sample' box |
|
|
I bought a bottle of Old Bushmill once.
And later that night I met my future exwife. Not saying there's a connection or anything but that's also the last bottle of Old Bushmills I've ever had too. |
|
You BET! My fav drink Irish Car Bomb 1/2 shot of Bushmills (real whiskey comes in square bottles) 1/2 shot Baileys MMMMMMMMMM 1/2 pint of Guinness YUMMMMM But I'm out of Baileys and Guinness, but have have plenty of Bushmills!!! |
|
|
Never heard of this what is it? |
|
|
I've had non-imported and the imported Bushmils, of course the real stuff was much better..
|

Bushmills straight and a beer.
To be honest, I do it wrong by having a fizzy yellow beer along with it. Yes, it's a crime, but this way the higher water content and lower 12 course dinner content as compared to Guiness lets me stay upright quite a bit longer. Jamesons will work in a pinch if I happen to be outta Bushmills. But Bushmills is way shmooder |
|
Well as long as it is not Jim Bean or something! Gelignite Cocktail Double shoot of Bushmills (I'm a purist) in a Pint of Guinness. |

I'll have to respectfully disagree with Soylent.
I'm a long time Bushmills drinker and I think that Jameson is smoother. The Jameson also has a hint of smokeyness to it. (Not approving or disapproving, just my observation) As to which Bushmills is the best, I think that would have to be Black Bush. I didn't find the 10 year old single malt to be as good as the Black Bush, but it's been quite some time since I've bought any single malt. For my money I always felt that standard Bushmills was the ticket. |

Franziskaner Hefe-Weisse and later, Maker's Mark or Glenlivet.

It's a HIghland single malt Scotch. It spends it's first 8 years in a White Oak cask, and then spends another 4 years in a Saunternes cask. Main influences are vanilla, honey and lemon. Goes well with Connecticut style cigars. Oh, and it eats Macallen's breakfast, lunch, and dinner. |

Don't get me wrong, I *do* like Jamesons. It's a personal taste thing though between Jamesons and Bushmills as far as I can tell. I know quite a few folk that swear Jamesons is the smoother one. I know a few others that agree with me that it's Bushmills.
The thing I like about them is that they lack the heavy aftertaste of a Scotch. Yes, I know it has to be "The Good Stuff" with Scotch or you've done it wrong. I do like "The Good Stuff" on occasion, but even then I don't care very much for the Smoky, peat aftertaste. However you like your drink, be a man and drink it well! |

That is how I originally tried Bushmills for the first time. Have been drinking it ever since. Not that anyone cares about my opinion, but I have never understood why in the hell anyone would ruin good beer or whiskey by mixing them together or mixing them with anything else. When I see people drink "black and tans" and shit like that I think to myself that they might as well piss in a pint of Guiness. Both are great. Mixed, they are ruined. |

So how do you pronounce it so you don't sound like a retard? Sounds good. I'll have to try Bushmills Black. I'm just developling a taste for whiskey. I've found avefter the first 2 they are all REALLY good |

Since a bunch of whiskey (and whisky) drinkers are around I will espouse the virtues of my latest poison.
Rye whiskey. Good shit. Smooth with a peppery aftertaste. I'd put Old Overholt up against Irish Whiskey any day. It's also $10 less per fifth. Give it a try sometime. |
|
Blashephemy!!! Ban Him! |
|
|
I actually have tried Old Overholt I did like it some, but at the time (it's been almost twenty years ago now) not enough to buy it again. I almost picked up some Rye again my last trip to the candy store. I'll put that down on my "To Do" list. Also, I do agree with the poster that says mixing ruins the drink. I don't pour my drinks together. I just use the beer as something to spi at between shots of Whiskey. If that's still too mixed for your taste, you're not alone. But I like it that way, and really that's all that counts. |

I disagree. I PREFER Guinness straight up. I could drink that all day long I never tire of it. I like it Ice cold or Room Temp. It is my drink of choice. If McCain gets in, I'm getting a keg setup in the house. If Obama gets in I;m buyiing mrore gun stuff. Any way no more election crap. But I don't mind mixing some of the greatest drinks ever invented! I LOVE car bombs. Have to try some Gellignite Cocktails. But I do like to mix it up a bit. I prefer to drink the drinks straight when alone but if partying nothing beats a Car Bomb! But alas I am out of Baileys and Guinness. So it is only Bushmills tonight and that is foing fast! |

One thing that always struck me about Bushmills was that the bottles were designed by a fucking genius.
Pack the most whiskey into the smallest possible space. If I was going to smuggle a case or two of whiskey in my suitcase it would have to be Bushmills. |
|
If my family was here then I would say we learned some lessons from Prohibition. But alas they were still in the old country then |
|
|
Aren't Bushmills and Jameson now owned by the same overlords.
Next topic: Beamish vs. Murphys vs. Guinness. Oh, and guys across the pond, please do chime in. |
|
Guinness. Hands down. And I AM a Murphy! |
