If I get something like GTS while eating out I order it neat with a glass of ice on the side. Fix it how I like it...

True story!

That's a good idea with the ice on the side...like a salid. I got that h16 with a small single cube and wished I got it neat. I pulled the almost melted cube out when I got it and sampled it.

Happy birf day to me (not till next month lol)

On the quest for clear ballzz?!?!

Straight kentwood =



So boil kentwood for 2-3 min then let cool so it don't melt the molds but warm so it takes a while to freeze. We will see results tomorrow.







Fwiw I don't love the ice balls. Good at first, drink nice and cold, but like a pile of ice it dilutes the drink to much unless you hurry. I will try on some higher proof stuff to see how it goes. Everyone's taste is different...my friends will probably like the ice balls.

I'm missing going to the game today because I'm stuck at home with sciatica. Quick question, what goes better with hydrocodone, EH Taylor single barrel or Willet family estate 4 year rye?
