Actually, I rather like the look of that. Do you chill it? I'm thinking, put some chunky glasses in the freezer, so they come out nice and cold and cloudy, shove some ice in and a slice of lime, and pour the Tequila over it... :)

That may be a good shout Marco. Haven’t tried it with anything yet, just getting to know it. It has a very silky and quite refined character, only a light oiliness too. It’s lovely to actually just taste as is, will be interesting to try different temperatures.

I really like that it is smoother than most Rye whiskeys.
It is more expensive than Crown Royal Rye but about the same in quality. Sadly Crown Royal Northern Rye is hard to find right now but I can still get regular crown Royal blended whiskey easily and thats not a bad way to go either .

got some pendelton 6 here, not opened tho. crown royal northern is a nice drink but quite expensive here.. over £30 a half bottle. ive got some jackie D rye in stock too.
also have a 2/3 bottle size of Swedish Spirit of Hven Hvenus Rye here too.. it gets a great rep but ive not tried it yet.. it was a treat to myself and about 50 notes.
strange being a scot, with a huge amount of gods water here on my doorstep that i dain to drink foreign muck :eyebrows: a\s its oft called here, but i love bourbon and rye

I like dry whiskey so Bourbon and Rye are my usual drink.
I keep a $50.00 limit per bottle .

a good inexpensive Scotch would be Glen Grant 10.. over here its under £30 and their Major's reserve is even cheaper. tomatin legacy is nice too, as is 10 yr old glenmorangie original. oh and glengoyne if you can get it...might be a bit more expensive tho. the sexton from ireland might be cheaper over there too. nice drop that and a crazy bottle

a few of my opened bottles

Lol - love it... That's better than most bars or hotels!!:lol::eyebrows:

My wine 'cellar' in that respect is similar (more diverse selection, better quality) than that contained in most good restaurants! Currently I've got around 150 bottles, including table and dessert wines - and then there's the collection of aperitifs & digestifs, which numbers around 50-60 bottles, plus mixers for cocktails!:D

We're not alchies, lol - just enjoy having access to a nice selection of drinks, should we take the notion for something, plus we like to entertain....

That's why when we built our new kitchen, I made sure there was an area for me to use as a 'bar' for preparing drinks, along with a big cupboard to house all the different glasses! Plus, it meant that I could keep out of Del's way while she was cooking, as we'd be at opposite ends of the kitchen:)

Cool beans, mate. It's good to enjoy something nice that you're passionate about - otherwise what's the point in living! :exactly:
