Re: Knives and Spirits
I'm not much of a mixed drink drinker. Especially when it comes to pre-mixed stuff but this one really impresses me. A friend convinced me to try it and I'm glad he did.
I need to get some Maraschino Cherries as this is just screaming for them.
The knife is a Buck 503 in Sunset Jigged Bone from the Custom Shop.

Re: Knives and Spirits
It took me awhile but I finally picked up a full sized bottle. I'm not drinking tonight but looking forward to the weekend pour.
The knife is a Remington Congress that I won as a door prize at the Gateway Area Knife Show a few years ago.

Hope you enjoy it my friend. It's a fine mixer and pretty darn good neat. IMHO.ymmvRailsplitter wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 4:13 am

Re: Knives and Spirits
You are spot on my friend. This Benchmark is a "sleeper" value as far as I'm concerned. I just finished a Friday night pour of this and I am impressed. Drank it neat. This is one that I will always have on hand from now on.
Thanks for the recommendation, bighomer. I like this stuff! Great flavors and a decent ABV for the price. The bargain price is just the icing on the cake. A great value just like you said.

Well they also make Pappy Van Winkle so they could just give the ole Benchmark away.

No posts for almost 3 months! Spent today working on ditches and fixing fences, time to relax a little.

I’m sipping some Macallan 12 Year Double Cask tonight but I don’t have a picture.
Thanks for keeping the thread alive, John.

Re: Knives and Spirits
New ones for me, Yellowstone Bourbon and a Microtech Troodon Mini. The bourbon is OK but I prefer wheated ones like Markers Mark. Makes a fine Manhattan tho. For a little auto it is a tough one and California legal for those unfortunate to live there and like autos

Re: Knives and Spirits
Scott, that 1792 Small Batch is some good stuff. I have about a half of a bottle on hand as we speak.
Nice knife too! Is that Giraffe Bone?

Re: Knives and Spirits
I took this photo on 7 December of last year. The glass is a "parting glass," in remembrance of those who have passed, and it contained Kahlua. Not my preferred spirit, but it's what I had on hand when the photo was taken.
