China Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) There's a distillery near Cuilpeper called Belmont Farms that is run by a guy that used to run moonshine but turned legit. If you've watched Moonshiners you may have heard about it. It's near my property in Orange County, VA so I've taken the tour and bought some of their stuff and it's pretty good.

Springfield Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 So now that I have a few more minutes to digress, my alcoholism has changed over the years. In my late teens, it was mostly vodka. Mainly because you can mix vodka with literally everything. Absolut and Grey Goose. Missed the flavored vodka trend by a bit, however there was a Three Olives cherry vodka phase somewhere. In my early 20's it was Southern Comfort. SoCo and coke. Drank so much of that stuff that I can't stand the thought of SoCo any longer. Then it was Jager and Red Bull. Not Jagerbombs, I'd just have ****tails of the ****. I'm surprised my heart didn't explode when I was 25. So ****ing gross. I settled down with rum for many years. Captain and Coke was my drink of choice from about 25 until 32ish. Such a great drink to have whilst smoking a pack of Marlboro Lights in the course of a night and listening to classical rock. Then I gave up liquor for the most part and switched mainly to beer and ciders. Now whisky is what I pretty much drink if I'm having liquor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twa Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Drinking Dewars white now, not a fan but it is free. If you like Basil Hayden get some Old Grandad 100 and water it. (he will approve since he is on the label ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a quest at this point. My brother's friend received a bottle of Pappy as a reward for a job well done. Hasn't opened it yet. 38 minutes ago, China said: There's a distillery near Cuilpeper called Belmont Farms that is run by a guy that used to run moonshine but turned legit.

As soon as I finished reading that first sentence, my mind went to the guy they were following on Moonshiners that was going legit.

I was gifted a bottle of Angels Envy. It was the one aged in Port barrels. They have a cask strength that I wouldn't mind trying, but I'm too cheap to pay for it.. I thought it was okay, but wouldn't spend money on it. If you like Basil Hayden's , you might like Blanton's , or Rittenhouse Rye, or even Bulleit Rye. Edit: I just read TWA's post, if you like the Basil, try the Old Grandad BIB, or the 114. It's inexpensive. It's all subjective anyway...

HOF44 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Me and a few friends started the Fairfax County Bourbon Society, a small group of serious whiskey drinkers. One of the guys signed up at 9am when the barrel pick program for the year started and we got one. Had our choice of Buffalo Trace, 1792 Single Barrel, and 1792 Full Proof. Going to Kentucky in May to drill the barrels in the rickhouse and pick one. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
