Those guys back then knew how to dress, not the sloppy stuff we see these days.

80 degrees on the back porch but with the ceiling fans going and the stick fan going, quite pleasant really.

Jeez. Why retype when the facts are the same??
It's not a rut; it's a groove!

I just tried something WAY outside my comfort zone and I have to tell you its fantastic. Now to be clear, you won't want to use your $50-$70 bottles of bourbon here, but this is a great way to kick off a Sunday. I'm using Evan Williams. Rumor or legend has it that Ben Franklin drank these to mediate his gout. In the video recipe below the bartender uses simple syrup. I recommend a good maple syrup. Now I'm going to go find a nice Drew Estate Undercrown and enjoy the rest of my Sunday. Low & slow beef short ribs braised in red wine is on the menu for later. Cheers gents.

Mmmmm...and nothing wrong with Evan Williams. One of the better values out there.

**TEN-32** · 08-24-2014, 10:45 AM

I always keep a handle of Evan in the cupboard. I know this drink is way off the beaten path. I was very skeptical myself but a friend convinced me to give it a try. I had everything on hand so I said wtf. Glad I did.

I can see that not being bad. Years ago I used to mix Kahlua with milk, its good.

My mom has a friend that drinks scotch and milk every night before she goes to bed. That sounds disgusting, but you never know I suppose.

All that said, I'd be surprised if this concoction is a cure for gout, especially with BBQ.

I was introduced to Scotch and milk via a Joseph Wambaugh novel.

The short ribs were awesome. The drink was sort of like an egg nog...kind of. Not sure it has any medicinal value but its worth a shot.

C'mon! Is no one Smokin'!
Got a pour or two of Col EH Taylor Small Batch and a Puro Authentico from AJ Fernandez.

**TEN-32** · 09-06-2014, 08:28 PM

**Silentkilla01** · 09-06-2014, 08:42 PM

That range looks strangely familiar.....

Btw: I smoked your Gurkha Titan just a little while ago after burning some red meat on the Weber this evening. At first I thought it was going to be a tad strong for my taste but was a pleasant surprise. Overtones of coffee, cedar, earth, & maybe a little chocolate? Something I normally wouldn't have bought myself but was a nice changeup from my usual fare.

Glad you enjoyed it. I have found them to be inconsistent. Glad you got a good one. Not something I will buy again, but not a total dog turd.

We did some Italian sausages and meatballs on the grill, shot the pictured AR, a Henry 30-30 and a Yugo underfolder. Weather was perfect. Trying to get in every minute I can before deer season.

**ready** · 09-07-2014, 03:30 PM

That was my experience with gurkhas too.

Haven't been partaking lately. I've been slacking on my cardio so it's time to pay the piper.

**CigarGuy** · 09-13-2014, 06:21 PM

Man O' War Ruination with a pour or two from a just opened bottle of Rock Hill Farms
Or, I think, same mashbill as Elmer T Lee(Buffalo Trace #2) but single barrel.

**CigarGuy** · 10-08-2014, 06:05 PM

WTF? Where's my posse?
Trying a couple new expressions of Four Roses at barrel strength.
An OESK at 10+ years and 55.2% and an OBSQ 10+ at 60.6% ABV.
And an Ave Maria from AJ Fernandez.
80 f'in degrees on the back porch....

So I assume those are drinks and that I have no idea what your talking about?
