I stopped down to a friends house to sample a couple Irish whiskies. Shame on me for not taking pics of the bottles. Both were good stuff. I got a snoot full. LOL

Just a simple Club Soda and clear grain alcohol here It's just a shame to mess up perfectly good Club Soda with flavors, Coke, Pepsi, Dew, whatever
Clear grain? How much proof? It varies by state.

It's not Rocket Fuel
There was a 100 proof Vodka in Mexico Oso Negro. Gooood stuff. Never was able to find it on this side of the border, and I'm not going through the hassle of trying my luck in TJ to find it now 
.
The smoothest clear I have found is Tito's. They distill it through a column still with 6 plates. Like it has been distilled 6 times. Each time more pure. Apparently Tito's buys Ethanol from a commercial distillery and re-distills it in their facility. Smooth stuff though. Tito's and raspberry lemonade is a summer favorite.

Got some Pepper flavored Stoli, hard to beat in Bloody Marys. Hmmmm .. might have to try that stuff with soda and maybe a little dirty. I could be on to something here
Last nights samples. I liked the Quiet Man the best.

How was the Quiet Man, is it a wheat taist ? memikie don't like wheat taist, you know, like the Canadian mist and Segrams flavor ?
The Quiet man was closer to traditional Irish whisky. It was very smooth but had a definite peated taste but it wasn't overbearing.Because it isn't corn based it isn't as sweet as American whiskies. Irish whisky is made largely of malted barley. Occasionally they will use a small amount of wheat or oats to mellow the flavor. The "peated" taste comes from the burning of peat moss to dry the barley after it is malted. The malting process is basically just sprouting the seeds to release the enzymes so the grain can produce the starch needed to produce alcohol.
Well you sure answered my question, I will have to keep an eye out, thank you brother

3 tasty Irish samples from last nights whiskey club. Jamesons was the smoothest of course.

I am bringing some quiet man to MITP this year. I got it as a tip for welding some aluminum. It is quite tasty. Appears to be a bit pricey. Likely why I had never tried it!
