I followed a thread somewhere about end of ride beverages. What is favorite here? I like a good Rye Whiskey to sip,neat.and what not available a good Irish pot still whiskey.
About the only time I drink beer anymore is end of a ride or lunch break on a ride and I enjoy 1 large beer I like full bodied European style beer. I can not drink American beer only Sam Adams or a micro brew. My favorite is Spaten beer from Germany
99savage-I sip a thimble of Sazarac Buffalo Trace dist. Brumbear-Before I got older and lost taste buds and sense of smell I also liked one big robust beer, with riding buds after about 8-10 hours on the road. Another lost epicurian pleasure to age. Now I need to sip a good Rye or Irish to get some taste, but often can only find something like a George Dickle.
A fine Tullamores dew is an evening elixir that is not lost on me by any means good sir In my oldness I have found I am particular in what I drink as well. I like Gentleman Jack ,old #7, Evan Williams or I like Tullamores and once in a while Powers believe it or not
You got me started last year on the knot I wasn't crazy about the vanilla taste that kinda mingles with the whiskey taste but it was a definite keeper. I still like the pure tatse of a whiskey a bit a charcol flavor is about it for me
If my Irish is up...Laphroaig 15, or Laphroaig 10 year Cask Strength. Or Macallan 18. Or 21. Nothing like a good singlemalt that's old enough to drink itself
And if I gotta fix something...it's usually Coors Light. I don't feel bad if I knock one over in the garage LOL.
Old Overholt makes a fine everyday rye. Jim Beam rye is too sweet for my taste. I prefer Wild Turkey rye--good and spicy, inexpensive and available just about everywhere.
Tea of course, no no just kidding lol. Although I do like my tea and Antiguan coffee. After a long ride I like straight vodka. Or some V.S.O.P or E.O. (Very Special Old Pale or Extra Old. Never can go wrong with a good, aged Brandy.
