I've been mixing Drambuie this way for decades. 50/50 with Canadian Rye - CC, Wiser's, Crown Royal etc. Not what you call "Rye" in the US. The best after a steak dinner or just a goodnight sip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drambuie is Scotch whiskey that is added with Honey-Herbs and spices to make it into an alcohol energetic drink , and it is the favorite drink at all Highland Regiment's Officer's Messes ---------- -for Centuries the Scots of all Clans would make their own mix , and one can make his own blend although Drambuie is a perfect blend , and Glayva is the clear second , Pipers drink Drambuie in a bowl when they are on for several hours , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met him at his hotel and he bought dinner. He wasn't hurting for money and stayed in nice places. The hotel restaurant was fancy and after dinner they brought around a drink cart. He orders and I was a beer drinker or shots of tequila; but wanted to impress him. So I snuck a peek at the cart and remembered the first label that I could read .... then I asked the server, "Do you have Jagermeister?" Sadly, they did and it was horrible. Talk about drinking Vicks Formula 44 ... as I put it to my mouth I said to myself, "This is what you get for trying to be a show off." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The taste always reminds me of siphoning gas out of my dad's truck for my homemade go kart back in junior high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I had a girlfriend whose father was an alcoholic. She described to me that an alcoholic would strain Aqua Velva when deprived to get some of what they needed. I think it still might have been better than drambuie...

billybob Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Had always heard scotch an acquired taste. Was a quick acquire on my part natural like. Drank Chivas Regal and thought I was top shelf, until had a father in-law. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
