As a Kentuckian, you would think I would enjoy bourbon. I don't drink though, lol. However, I got this sweet bottle at an estate sell here, and I like to imagine it had something to do with bourbon in it's past life. This is as close to mixing of bourbon and coins as I get, haha

I’m a tequila and mescal guy. This is my jam. Right now I have a Carolina Realer pepper ( I grow my own) floating in mecal. I will add it to rye, some soda water and limes. I call it Sympathy for the Devil
When it’s whisky and bourbon its this
I grow Carolina Reapers too, as well as jalapenos and Cayennes. I make a really mean homemade homegrown hot sauce that will make your toenails fall off.
Never thought about putting a Reaper in whiskey though. I may give it a try.
I'm not a huge bourbon guy but I do like scotch and I like Chivas (yeah, I know, it's just a blend...but I really like it) and McCallan's.
I enjoy beer and tequila as well.
Never got into wine at all.
This is making me want a drink!
If it were legal I would have the best beer and wine at the monthly coin club meetings with Octoberfest food like boiled quality eggs; why have the laws become so restrictive of healthy enjoyment of harmless gatherings in hobbies? On the hard liquors I have no use for them, never tried them much and know people who went into the deep end with them. But if I were running an auction and wanted to undermine the rational faculties, I would offer copious amounts of free food and liquor to get the best bids, lol.

I grow Carolina Reapers... Usually I winter over a plant then put it out about now...Had this plant for three years and it is doing well.... While the Reaper is currently the hottest pepper in the world, there is 'Pepper X'... which is said to be twice as hot.... it has not yet become available, nor has it an official name. When the seeds are offered, I will grow a plant and check it out. I prefer a beer with hot peppers, they blunt the enjoyment of a good wine. Cheers, RickO

I wouldnt place a reaper in whiskey. I place it in a mason jar with mescal. The smokiness of the mescal works well with the acidity of the pepper. I then mix this with rye whiskey. The sweetness of the rye compliments the pepper laden mescal. Add soda water and lime and lots of ice. Boom
I grow all kinds of peppers as well. Salsas and I like making my own red peeper flakes. I have jalepenos, reapers, serranos and shitizo peppers in now.

@MrEureka not only partnered with @DWP on Warren Miller's all-time ESD set, but also, as I learned, when I visited recently to sneak Sylvester and Esmerelda some non-Vegan kibble, that he'd partnered Warren's Scotch collection with NYC's world-class copper queen Tony Terranova.

In Paris in the early 1790's, Jefferson went to the wineries every year or so. Records show he, George and some other Virginians enjoyed Chateau D'Yquem and he bought a year's worth at a time of household consumption for himself, and some years for a few others.
So a bottle of 179x CDY shows up at auction with the engraving in script "Thos-J" and a story gets out that more were found behind a wall in the house Thos-J lived in when he was Ambassador to France. And then a few more show up, and.....

At one time I had 8 1/4 bottles of the 1970 vintage. Only one left. It is hard to find any female who likes sweet wines but my friends at the ATS sure do. I'm saving this one for myself.
Funny but true story...In the 1970's I bought a bottle of Asti Spumante. I carried that bottle from DC, to TN, and to NJ. I never stored it properly except on its side through summer and winters. When it was getting time to move to FL, I opened it and the darn thing was a medium yellow, had lost all its carbonation, and tasted like Chateau D'Yquem! I've been trying to duplicate that "miracle" since 2001 with another bottle. LOL. Cheep Thrills.

This one is for you with a touch of bourbon . It's delicious, easy to drink and around $10-$12
