I find plain old rocks glasses work as well or better than the fancy whiskey glasses. I look for cool vintage glasses on eBay…
What are you drinking tonight?

Nice! I'll check em out. Gonna keep my eye open for some regular rocks glasses.
Having another taste of this tonight. Heavy caramel and vanilla. It's well balanced and relatively smooth; very little bite. Nice finish. I think I prefer on the rocks though. Tomorrow night I'll try an old fashioned with it. And then maybe I'll pull out the smoker and try that as well. @SteelSchaben
Eagle Rare with a splash. Finally laid the bottle to rest. It will be missed.
It's one of the BiB varieties from Heaven Hill, hence the comparison to EWBiB and JTSBrown. I hadn't heard of it much either, but enjoyed the other 2 and picked this one up as it was on sale. I'm amazed that HH has 3 different budget BiB offerings, each with unique taste (to my palette at least).
That is either a tiny bottle or a HUGE glass.

. Got it as a gift but they are kinda nice when trying new stuff I'm not sure I will like. Very nice considering I am new to whiskey (any alcohol for that matter). This is just the second liquor I've ever tried 
Baker‘s one rock
Larceny 1870 neat.
Wow, that is a giant glass!! 
Wanted tonic water but the 2 closest places didn’t have any. Settled on ginger ale. Surprisingly pretty good.

Dolin Vermouth
DaVinci Olives

Four Roses small batch. Cat wanted in the image but didn't want to pose...
Strange concoction tonight with dinner. Baileys "colada" flavor and orange soda. Tasted pretty good. Fruity and creamy haha.
A nice refreshing whisky ginger with some 1835 bourbon.
As long as it didn't try to drink your bourbon...
2oz rum. Probably half oz of lime juice. He rest tonic water. Probably a bit to much tonic water it tastes like.
First glass of rum. Bacardi gold neat. Definitely can tell a difference between it and the whiskeys I've tried. This is much milder in both taste and smell. The heat come later while the whiskey heat seems to show up faster. There is a longer lingering sweetness with the rum I think. It was good though for my first glass in the world of rum. I still haven't been able to single out the more specific flavors. I guess that comes in time. Going to have to try these rums mixed and see how they do.
As far as Bacardi goes I prefer the Bacardi 8. I have a bottle of Bacardi 10 I have yet to try. IMO a big step up from the basic Bacardi if you plan to drink them straight.
Very nice! Going to have to look a bit deeper in the rum section of the liquor store next time I go. So much to try out its overwhelming.
