Review – Shankar Distillers, Varchas, Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Small Batch, 4 Years Old, 45%

The more I learn about birds, the less I mind seeing them die by flying into windowpanes or ricocheting from windmill blades. They truly are vicious creatures. I’ve arrived at this conclusion because my wife, Jennifer, has become somewhat of a proficient nature photographer. As such, she has learned quite a lot about birds. I’ve become accustomed to her breaking a conversation mid-sentence by…

I feel like barnabys favorite drink (alcoholic) might be a old fashioned? And non alcoholic mixed drink. Might be a Shirley temple. (Which Is my favorite non alcoholic mixed drink!)

(Of course this is all my opinion! But yea!

he Does feel like a classy guy, huh? but who's to say! Who's. To. Say...

#ohhhh dont say shirley temple thats one of my favs as well.... #dont put that thought in my head... #oh what i wouldnt do for one rn. its been so long </3 #catch me going to the bar and getting one of those instead of Anything else #rambles from the bog #but yeah. who knows maybe he'd enjoy just plain whiskey #a nice Quality bourbon perhaps... #we're probably way off the mark here! #no wait he seems to have a sweet tooth given his hotdog order... as well as a lack of tastebuds... #idk. you know that guy who makes hellish alcohol concoctions in bathtubs. bathtub jungle juice #maybe barn would enjoy That. absolutely absurd concept.... #but as always! what do i know! #lmfao im picturing him swirling whipped cream on whiskey aaslcnjalscnslkd + a cherry.... maybe some sprinkles.... #actually that doesnt sound too bad. hm. #we Do have whiskey i think... maybe ill have some fun tomorrow #nah actually im not a big fan of straight whiskey #im more of a rum guy... maybe ill do that to some Rum...

Whiskey Review Time --- Rebel and Rebel 100 Straight Bourbon

Recently I've noticed this bourbon hitting the shelves and I've finally decided to give it a try. Fortunately, they have those little 50ml bottles that sell for $1.99 so if this turns out to be a bad whiskey I'm not out much. However, this is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon, I've never ever had a bad Kentucky Straight Bourbon before, not even at the price of $17.99 which is what it sells for at the local liquor store. So I prepared myself for some nice budget bourbon sipping.

Apparently this stuff has been around for a while, with the brand being founded in the 1950's but was only available in part of the Southern US. However in the past ten years it's been crossing the Mason-Dixon line until now it's in just about every liquor store in America. Interestingly it's a wheated bourbon. Most bourbons have a mash bill of mostly corn, with the rest being rye and malted barley. This has a mashbill of 68% corn, 20% wheat, and 12% malted barley. It is a blend of bourbons from the Lux Row distillery and bourbons from other distilleries. Supposedly one of the other distilleries is Heaven Hill but I don't think this has even been confirmed. The brand is owned by Luxco which is also the owner of Everclear. It is bottled at 80 proof (40%). They also have Rebel 100, which is 100 proof (50%). There is no age statement, but to legally call it "straight bourbon" it must be aged for at lest 4 years in new oak barrels. You might see bottles of this called "Rebel Yell", sometimes even on the same shelf. Recently they've decided to shorten the name to just "Rebel", and they have been slowly fazing out the older "Rebel Yell" labels.

First I shall try the regular 80 proof rebel. On the nose I get classic bourbon smells, sweet honey, caramel, oak, vanilla, and cherry. It can be a little faint, sometime it seems like I need to stick my nose right in the glencairn to get a good whiff of it. The aroma is nice and pleasant and I really like it. On tasting I get a bit of the corn sweetness common with bourbon with hints of vanilla. The flavor is extremely light, in fact I would say way too light. With bourbons I expect bold rich flavors. This does not have bold rich flavors, in fact it tastes like a bourbon that has been watered down. The finish is very bitter and with lots of alcoholic burn despite being only 80 proof. I'm not pleased with it, but it's drinkable. I would rate it 2.5 out of 5.

Now on to Rebel 100. While the 80 proof Rebel had a light aroma, the 100 proof Rebel barely has any aroma. But if I really stick my nose in the glencairn to the point that it leaves marks on my face, I get an extremely light bourbonish aroma mixed with heavy odors of booze. On tasting ... OH GOD, ALCOHOL ALCOHOL ALCOHOL BURN BURN BURN!!! This stuff is so boozy and alcoholy and burny it has no other flavor profiles. It's strong and metallic tasting. It's not "defiantly smooth" as their brand catchphrase says. It's defiant as in Johnny Reb doing a rebel yell and cracking me across the head with the butt of a musket. It's terrible! This stuff is bad. It's like Canadian Mist bad! I have a feeling that they took regular Rebel and just added alcohol to it in order increase the alcohol content to 100 proof. I mean they own Everclear so it's not out of the realm of possibilities. This stuff is undrinkable, I had to toss it down the drain. Good thing I only got a mini bottle. I rate it 1 out of 5. Absolutely horrible! Worst part is you have to pay 2 dollars more for this than regular Rebel.

So now I'm sure there are many readers who are thinking, Peashooter you bought cheap whiskey what did you expect? Buy cheapass whiskey win cheapass prizes. Well, there is another Kentucky Straight Bourbon out there for the same price range that totally blows Rebel out of the water. In fact where I live it's cheaper at $14.99 a bottle. And that bourbon is ...

I love Evan Williams Black Label, it's the cheapest good Kentucky straight bourbon you can buy in my opinion. There are certainly better bourbons out there and EW Black Label might be a bit rough around the edges, but it's still a very good and solid bourbon for an excellent price. I have a feeling that what Luxco is trying to do is unseat this old contender. If you are short on funds and can't afford better, don't buy Rebel and especially don't buy Rebel 100, buy this instead.

“My dude, we have a limited time here on Earth. We know how to use it to fuckin’ party!” Don't mind him as he nearly chokes on one of them, "I think that was straight up vodka, it's like eating fire."

Judas isn't wrong, and it's one of the things Crowley loves about humans. Six millennia and still they haven't ceased to fascinate and amaze him.

Aaaaand just as he's marveling at the wonder of humanity, Judas is choking on a chocolate. Well. Alright then.

"Don't tell me you can't handle a little vodka," he picks up one of the chocolates to look it over. "There's not even a shot amount in these."

RELATIONSHIP BUILDING. @artmadc: 🍺 for my muses drunk reaction around yours (sergio)

THE QUICKEST WAY TO BREAK THE ICE? Cognac straight in a crystalline glass, while old Whitney Houston records play like an endless hymn in the background. Her signature stoney features breaks out a pearly wide smile, brimming easily with joy. From the comforts of her couch, Terrah extends a loose arm with a pointed finger, drink cradled carefully like it was actual liquid gold in her hands.

"Hermanito!" The words slurs from her lips as she barely makes an attempt to move from her spot. Her laughter grows, as if she had said the funniest thing in the world. Head bows back to the ceiling, her voice soft to the music that plays around her. "Hello hermanito- hermanito! That's such a cute phrase. So cute. My spanish is sure shit, but at least I know how to call you little brother. Mark it as one of my proudest achievements."

And it's endearing; her full heart lays upon her sleeve as she sings her best friends praises. "To you, I welcome you to, what the academics call: relaxation. Grab a glass, lay on the carpet, and let the music take you away. Here, we brainiacs don't need to think; we just vibe. Tunes & good company is all we need." Yes indeed. Yes, indeed. "And don't worry: your brother wasn't invited, so your pure virgin eyes will stay clean."

Muse as a drink

"A fresh drink that is not too sweet, with notes of bourbon and smoke, paired with a floral undertone, along with a hint of strawberries. Mint to freshen it all up further~ But be cautious. It is strong~"

au where furuya can keep it in his fucking pants like bro instead of using your not inconsiderable resources to hunt down a guy who not only is probably dead but also supposedly working towards the same goal as you (taking down the black organization) why don't you try actually taking down the black organization

Ok here's your actual Anton post.

^ this particular "world beat" screen from the first game is sooooo funny to me. Also the "cola" from the intro cutscene but to a much lesser extent. It's Very explicitly a casino that he's hanging out in, so the idea of him sitting at the casino bar ordering ice cream floats just Gets Me. And both "it's clearly implied to be alcohol, they just made it not for whatever reason" and "ok but what if he Was just sitting in a casino bar ordering ice cream floats (and still acting kinda drunk about it)" are really amusing. Silly guy ♡♡♡♡

#roz posts #♡: 🔨🎰🥃 #the game desc also dodges it by calling him the city's resident ''overconsumer of fizzy libation'' #whereas the blast desc straight up calls him a hapless drunkard (on the kickstarter at least) and talks about getting his booze back #funniest option actually. alcoholic float. #I've done that many times and it rules 👍👍👍👍👍 #never with chocolate ice cream though but I'm sure it'd be good if you had the right liquor #any chocolate or coffee liqueur would be delicious. maybe even something minty or orangey. or just like. straight bourbon. can't go wrong.
