¿¿Favorite "Adult Beverage"??

[fightingquaker13]

Beer: Shiner Bock, Alaska Amber or McCewan's Stout
Spirits: Barban Court rhum (don't ask me about the "h" all I know is that its the only good thing to come out of Haiti) or Porfidio tequila (out of business now but I still have a stash of their single barrel anejo, screw ammo, I know how to hoard the important stuff ).
FQ13, who is suddenly feeling thirsty

Tequila, neat, no ice - like it was meant to be enjoyed.  I've kind of turned into a tequila snob so it has to be 100% agave.  Preferably reposado. 

Life's too short to drink rotgut.

If it's aged even longer does the tequila mellow and is it more expensive as the aging period increases?

Just curious.....never was much for tequila but then I've never had any of the good stuff and never will...

It's just like whiskey and other liquors aged in barrels. Añejo is the "aged" tequila and the most expensive.

There are actually family reserves of tequila at Jose Cuervo (Reserva de la Familia)

That is some pretty pricey stuff.

I don't like beer anymore so I drink mixed drinks. I especially like Margaritas when I eat out. When I drink at home it's whiskey or rum mixed with whatever soda pop I have.

Beer

Guiness
Sam Adams
Shiner Bock

Tequila

Don Ramon Reposado
Don Eduardo Anejo
El Tesoro Platinum

The first two are straight...the third is for margeritas

Single Malt Scotch

Bowmore 18 year old.

Wine
Syrah. Preferably from the Anderson Valley. Or my friend's private patch. Goes great with venison and wild pork.

My wife's homemade Blackberry Brandy. Great for dessert.

To answer the Tequila question...depends. There is tequila-tequila and 100% de agave. 100% de agave is the best. Silver/Platinum/Blanco is straight from the distilling tanks. Straight agave flavors. Great for 'ritas and some are good for sipping or shots. Reposado is the next level. Usually very good if done well and right now my favorite in the Don Ramon (only available in Mexcio...my friend bought me a magnum a few weeks back...and no, niether of us has the Flu). Reposado is aged 8 months to a little over a year in casks. Different recipes from different distillers.
Anejo is the most aged and can be the most mellow experience in tequila you'll ever experience. They do special anejos's as well that are aged longer than normal anejo. Aged 1-3 years in casks. These are sipping tequilas best served in brandy snifters, not shot glasses.
Cuervo is not the best. It can be good and has it's place.
Here's a short list of really good ones:
D'antano de LaCasa Siete Leguas (the premier Seven Leagues distiller extra anejo)
El Tesoro De Don Felipe Platinum (great in 'ritas and very good neat)
Don Eduardo Silver (Same as Tesoro...but Tesoro had better flavor neat)
Herradura Hacienda del Cristero
Casa Noble Crystal
And my current Fav...
Don Ramon Reposado...neat.

Hey Ichiban...I didn't mean to out snob you here...I love my Tequila! Matter of fact...it's that time!

Pilsner Urquell, mostly,...; when I commercial fished, it was whatever was cold when I got back to the dock.

Now its Mojitos, and/or good wine, Russian River Valley, Sonoma, It;s something Kalifornia still does well. (Thank God)/.

Hazerita's when it's a looooong weekend, (Thanks Haz), my wife knows what to look for......

I used to love Crown Royal and good Tequila (still do) but as I am not the Spring Chicken anymore, I find dark liquor makes me regret it more,

Oh, BTW, double Bloody Mary's for the morning golf rounds helps immensely.

I don't drink anymore, but when I did these were my favorites.

Beer:  
Sam Adams     Boston Lager, Boston Ale, Hefeweizen, Cherry Wheat, Scotch Ale
Guiness
Porters, ales, and lagers from several different micro breweries
Even though I prefer dark, heavy beers, I still like Rolling Rock and Corona on a hot day.
I hate most high volume domestics, and absolutely no Budweiser.

Liquor:
Wild Turkey
Maker's Mark
Jim Beam
Capt. Morgan

Mixed:
Any of the above with Coke.
Whiskey sour
Boiler makers
Flaming Dr. Pepper
Margarita... the only way I'll drink ta'killya'  

Wine:
I'm a red man.  Nothing too tannic or floral, but other than that, I'm game.  
Kind of a shame I don't drink anymore, I have several bottles of good wine just collecting dust.  
I guess I'm prepared for the next special occasion, however.
