What is LLS? I’m near Gboro.

 

Aw man I appreciate it but shipping liquor is a pain and expensive.

Local liquor store

 

Ah, got it. Acronyms are not my forte.

@IPNPULZ I’m interested.

 

Happy Ryeday everyone...

 

LLS= Local Liquor Store

 

Rye is an underappreciated whiskey.

 

and I hope it stays that way, I prefer rye

 

What’s your favorite?

 

This came highly recommended at the local store, and didn’t disappoint. Very smooth, nice pop of flavor.

 

Found this lone bottle of Sazerac Rye from the limited availability release at my local ABC store. Never had it before so I took chance for $30. Not too bad. Very smooth but kind of bland.

 

Makes a mean old fashioned

 

A pretty good blended whiskey. It’s a good pour especially in an old fashion. Typically one old fashion then switch to on the rocks.

 

Didn't realize it was Ryeday... Went with a scotch blend. Willet makes a good rye. My fav is WhistlePig, on the less expensive end, Pikesville 110 is very good.

 

I also find it a bit uninteresting on it's own, but I have found no other ryes that can make as excellent of a Sazerac cocktail:

1. Fill rocks glass with ice and set aside.
2. In a cocktail shaker, add one cube of sugar (or 1 1/2 tsp simple syrup), 4 dashes Peychaud's bitters, 3 dashes Angostura bitters, and 2 oz. Sazerac rye.
3. Dump ice from rocks glass into cocktail shaker. STIR well.
4. Strain into rocks glass. Take the peel from a wedge of lemon and twist over the glass. Drop the lemon peel in the drink.

Enjoy!

You're supposed to coat the rocks glass with Absinthe, but I'm not buying a bottle of Absinthe just to coat the glass. And this is a perfectly delicious cocktail without it.

 

Just wanted to thank @Georgeee28 for hooking it up! Got my first bottle of EH Taylor and got to meet a cool member in the process. Nice talking with you today, thanks again man!

 

I’ve been sipping on the Horse Soldier after my dad bought me a bottle. What’s your thoughts on it? I like it well enough.

 

It was great meeting you too, always nice to meet a good dude from TW! Enjoy that bottle!
