Shack Liquors list
 

I always, hope someone will post a pic of the Shack Liquor table, and they always do.
But thought I'd kill some time and a few brain cellls by letting folks have access to
what is coming in case they are staring blankly at the store shelf one day this week
wondering what to bring to the shack. As stated in Shack related threads, no one EXPECTS
you to bring anything. But I tend to drink a fair amount of liquor while I am there, and
I like to know that I gave as good as I got. Last year I got to taste some tawny port
for the first time thanks to one of the great lakes boys. What a treat. I also remember
throwing down my first shot of Havana Club last year. So here is what I am bringing.
If you like, feel free to add your own bar-stocking bottle intentions.

OLS - - - - Havana Club 7 and 4 Roses Single Barrel

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

oops...found one. This does not near do the table justice. Picture at LEAST half as much again on the table.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I'll probably be bringing some sort of scotch and vodka. Perhaps some tequila :tu :dr

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Gin....lots of gin

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

That's a lot of booze! lol. I especially like the homewrecker of captain morgan. It would be tough to decide what to drink with that many options!

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Eagle Rare bourbon and prolly some Hacienda tequila.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

All kinds of stuff.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

This year that entire table was filled with bottles - practically no extra room to set anything down. Plus extra bottles under the table. Fairly ridiculous.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

:np

I simply had to do it!:r

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

someone said they were taking before/after shots.
my prediction though is that it will hardly look like there's a dent in it even tomorrow night. overwhelming quantity, even despite the big crowd...

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I would never want to be the "Guy at Shack Herf XX that was camping out at the Liquor table and too drunk to walk"




but I might want to be the third runner up.:al


And, BTW, I was trying to stay away from all Shack threads because they just depress me and make me think about how much I would love to be there, with old friends and new ones.

And because my memory is complete sh!t aiss swiss cheese like an Alzheimers patient, I would end up just calling everybody "Larry" and no one wants to see that.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

:tpd:
Tell me about it.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I don't think we have time Peter, and quite frankly, you don't want me soaking your shoulder with sobby tears while I have to smell you infamous exhaust... So that's kind of a win/lose.. er... lose/lose.. er... um.. you know what I mean.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I know exactly what you mean. Which is why I replied in the first place.

:pn

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Bruce, Jim, Dave and I, with just a little help, killed a 1/2 gallon of Patron and a 1.75 of 1800 Thursday night...Dave K went out and bought another 1/2 gallon, and we just kept killing them. But I was good, I only drank a half gallon of vodka on top of it. ;)

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Tom, did that go well with your 15 Sticks a day?!?

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

yeah..there was a few bottles to mix drinks with

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

The table was quite a site. And there were some darn good mojitos made on saturday night. And a 1.75 liter bottle of Russian vodka that disappeared in a matter of minutes...How i don't remember.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I only averaged about 10 a day for the weekend, but yeah, it paired most wonderfully. ;)

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I spy two bottles of Saphire but what is this...No Jack? No Jamesons? Hmmm. Those must have gone empty already!

That was a beautiful sight!

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

look at the blow up pic...back right..2 uncracked liters..there were 4 of them..makers..you name it, it was there

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Right next to the Saphire. I'll make an apt with the eye doctor next week!

I there an after shot of what's left?

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I spy Six Grapes.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Tom, that wasn't that girl you were doing shots with was it!...or was that her mother? :r

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I have to say, I got there pretty early on Thursday, mostly cause it was HOT in Memphis and I wanted OUT.
But when I got there at nearly the crack of dawn, that table was 98% covered. All I can figure is that there
might have been a few left un-tapped from a previous wedding of a certain dude, or that the story Dave
told about the liquor store was a little more serious than I originally thought. Yeah, there was some stuff.
What I brought ended up filling the last empty spaces/.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I think it is pretty common at the Shack that the pre-buy does not contain some of those
types of liquor because Dave knows that those are pretty personal choice items and folks
end up bringing LOTS of top Whiskeys, Rums and Vodkas. No Jack is a funny story.
There was Basil Hayden, Wild Turkey, 4 Roses single barrel, Woodford Reserve, and about
8-9 more I have forgotten. As for scotch, I am not sure there was more than about a
half dozen bottles, but I know I am wrong. This year the RUM stock was off the freraking
charts, too. There were no less than 12 different types of any one liquor, and many
duplicates. Gins might have been light, but I didn't LOOK for em. They might also be
in the Martini making station in the executive lodge...:D

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Two half gallons of Jack Daniels, and I don't think any went to waste. Good thing I don't drink bourbon, they would have needed to be replenished after Thursday like the tequila. ;)

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

There was plenty of Jack and gin. There were two half gallons of Sapphire, two fifths of Tanqueray, and a fifth of Beefeater when I got there. I added another half gallon of Sapphire and a fifth of regular Bombay. Later someone else added two fifths of OLDS (I believe that's the name) gin. It tasted like it had a little whiskey or something blended into it.

OLS was right about the rum, tons to choose from, including Centenario XX. Great stuff!

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

Sounds the The shack is straight up intense. I'm sad I missed it but it'll give me something to look forward to next year!

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I humbly offer you my spot. As I stated somewhere else, I think that people like me who are not
exactly hard core should give up their spot after a few years to let in the new blood. There is
a group of 50% of the guys/gals who would never THINK about missing one. But if we were all like
that, it would be up to 300+ people next year. That means there would be 9 in my room at Surf.

I don't mean to say that it is not AWESOME, or for that matter that there is ANYTHING wrong with
going every year. Not at all. But when I went to bed Thusday at 11, I had been up for 42 hours
and I was beat. Then I petered out again at 11 on Friday. Most of these cats go long into the
3 o'clock hour. Almost everyone goes to 2am. I just start drinking too early and too hard. My second
drink of the Shack on Thursday was Rum and Rum. I totally forgot to put coke in there, I just closed
the Rum, picked another rum and filled to the glass edge. And strangley it was excellent. And strong.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

That does sound like a good idea. I remember starting with a mountain dew and rum, maybe a shot of mountain dew and the rest was rum.

Re: Shack Liquors list
 

I read your blog on Shack VI. The PPP you mentioned was fun. It was good seeing you again Brad. I hope to see you again next August. :ss
