My wife has us on a "no sugar" thing for a month, so how am I gonna make an Old Fashioned?!
2 fingers bourbon
1 squeezed lime slice, then throw it in
2 strawberry tops, with the green still attached
1 dabble of water
2 or 3 ice cubes
Not perfect, but a great substitution!

Re: Whiskey
I have to say, that sounds... weird.
It's like a Southern Comfort & lime but with a garnish. Ian, I can't say I'm coming with you on this one.

Haha! It was different, but very refreshing. Almost like a Pimmskurtdesign1 wrote:I have to say, that sounds... weird.

Re: Whiskey
Not whiskey, but here is the example of the Zaya rum changes. The bottle on the left is the "real" stuff.

Thanks for the side by side, Ian. Buy the old stuff! I don't know if it's different or not but it was so good that I wouldn't risk it if I had the opportunity.IWinchester wrote:Not whiskey, but here is the example of the Zaya rum changes. The bottle on the left is the "real" stuff.

Re: Whiskey
I haven't tried the new one, but I would bet that it's different based on the buyout of Zaya and the wording on the new label. If you zoom in the new label has no age statement. None. Also, I've heard anecdotes of people saying it isn't nearly as smooth as original stuff.

Re: Whiskey
That SUCKS! I just looked at the new bottle of Zaya I just bought and it's the new one. VERY sneaky advertising. The 12 is still there, but now it says 12 blended rums, not 12 year old. That is just plain deception!

I bought I bottle of Bookers months ago, and I think that it is probably one of the best libations I've ever had. *In my minimal years of drinking, that is.

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia

Re: Whiskey
Thanks for the heads up on the Zaya. I had a bottle of the new stuff and it is definitely different. Not a bad rum but definitely a mixer, not a sipper. Had to do some searching but I found 7 bottles of the old version on the shelves. They are now safely in my possession.
