I heard that NolaGT likes to add coke to his finest whiskey to enhance the flavor. Is that true?


You gotta do what you gotta do to cover up that scotch flavor.

I like it. I'd get it again if it was in front of me and I was out.

Is that Knob Creek still on shelves locally?


Started the night with an EHTBP. Has anyone tried the latest batch yet?

Looking forward to the verdict. I picked up a Batch 1 last week (it came and went in one day) but it will be a while before I crack mine open. There are some Batch 2 around town this week, they seem to be sitting a bit longer.

From what I hear batch 2 is like chewing on an oak stave soaked in vinegar.
I only gave in and bought mine bc I heard Batch 1 is by FAR the most balanced and enjoyable and it was my last chance.
So strange how the 3 batches can all be so different. Would love to do a group blind tasting if enough of us got in on the 3 batches and could sample out.
I'm truly curious if it is a gimmick or if they differ that much.

I'm in Atlanta and my local haunt has 2 batch 1's left at 160 per. Hate that it's gone up already.
If someone wants to let me try that gawddamned ghost in machine beer (I'm a sucker for ipa's that pour like grapefruit juice ) we can work something out

I read an online review that mentioned Batch 1 was the best so I was glad to find the one I did. It was the last one on the shelf but I'm kind of glad I didn't have the opportunity to by a second!
I was thinking I should do a side-by-side when I open mine. I'm sitting on a Calandro's KC pick from this spring so maybe those will get opened together along with a "standard" KC...

Are all of the Orpheus beers pretty good?

I picked up some Atalanta last weekend and I really enjoyed it.

what are some decent cocktail bars around the French quarter? Doesn't necessarily need to have a great bourbon selection...
