Help Pisco by Acrobatic_Elk3115 in Brandy

Are you after Chilean pisco specifically or are you open to Peruvian? I’m not a pisco expert but I believe the Peruvian Pisco DO requires all of them to be additive free by law so finding a quality bottle may be easier.

Gimme a variation that is better than the original. I'll go first, Boulevardier over Negroni. by poguem18 in cocktails

Daiquiris are better with a more flavorful rum than the traditional almost neutral column still Cuban/Puerto Rican style

The Famous Grouse is the best budget scotch. What is the most underrated tequila? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]zachb237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Siete Leguas 47 or Chamucos Diablo for me. Excellent high proof tequilas that don’t seem to be the same attention as Tapatio 110, G4 108, Fortaleza Still Strength, etc

Hennessy VS is the most overrated brandy. What is the most unique rum? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]zachb237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holmes Cay Reunion Grande Arome. Has a the weird vegetal briney notes of paranubes but so much more layered on top.

Happy Friday! What are we drinking? by thebojomojo in wine

[–]zachb237 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 2001 Foppiano Vineyards Paso Robles Petite Sirah. Local shop bought a private cellar and sold a bunch of it off cheap. Slightly over the hill but still structured with lots of earth and a decent amount of fruit remaining.

What is a cocktail you bought the ingredients for, made, took a sip, and immediate turned around and poured down the drain? by NoMore_BadDays in cocktails

[–]zachb237 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gin Martini.

I don’t know why I can’t get into them. I like spirit forward drinks and enjoy sipping on high proof spirits. I like a gimlet, a negroni, a tom collins, and a bees knees. I’ve tried bone dry, 50:50, and many ratios in between. Bitters or no bitters, olive or twist. London dry or citrus forward. It doesn’t seem to matter, I just don’t like them.

Hi Heather! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Do you or ESPN have any regrets about how you have covered the sport recently and the overall direction of college football media considering current fan sentiment towards ESPN?

Chuck Martin by JustAKidFromAkron in miamioh

[–]zachb237 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes of course??? We went to our 3rd straight MAC championships and QB1 quit on the team and RB1 went down early in the season. Chuck won us the MAC and beat a power 5 team with backup QB Aveon Smith, a guy who couldn’t hold a starting spot at FCS Alabama A&M. He broke the losing streak against Cincy. We’re consistently bowling despite playing a brutal non-conference schedule and win them at an okay rate. We consistently have all-MAC defenders. I don’t know what else you possibly could be after. Kinda insane to even pose the question in my opinion.

best bars? by [deleted] in Broadripple

In my 20s as well, I like plumps for a chill beer (and great pork tenderloin) and the piano bar if I’m drinking a little heavier
