There is nothing quite like a good Islay in the woods! A nice smoky scotch around a fire, what else could be better?
i can't drink liquor... and beer is not an option ( an 18 pk really hurts the "carry weight" ) sooooo.... i am pretty much screwed....but i am looking for a HIGH octane Pinot Grigio
Makers Mark.
Any good single barrel bourbon. For some reason to me, it seems like anything else wouldn't be right. However, alcohol dehydrates the crap out of me and Im already fighting that so I usually refrain. If you are one of the luck people that don't sweat and never dehydrate, luck you.
I prefer a cold beer but since that isn't practical, I usually carry a little apple pie moonshine for sippin purposes.
Knob Creek Reserve.
A few sips of Crown Royal after dinner, shared with shelter mates is very enjoyable.
Try El Dorado 15, it's fantastic, and my current favorite. Don't bother with the 21 though, since it doesn't gain anything over the 15 by being left in the barrel.Originally Posted by poopsy

Homebrewed Blueberry Vanilla mead.
Whiskey for sure but ive been known to
pack in (and out) a 22oz or two of Miller light.
Moonshine, as the weather warms up, the stills in the mountains also warm up.
190 proof Everclear. But since I can't get it in Maine and because it is too expensive, I will stick to SLX. That is the only alcohol that will be in my pack.

It has become all the rage for micro brewers to start using cans rather than bottles, largely to support outdoor activities where glass is not a responsible option. I generally start a trip with at least a couple nice IPAs. Occasionally I will have a little whiskey for hot drinks as well. It just depends on where I'm going, with who, and for how long.

Your go to backcountry liquor?
That's easy - fresh clear clean not worried about water born pathogens SPRING WATER bubbling out from under a rock, tree, or tumbling down a moss covered rocky Applachian Mountains stream! No alcohol tastes or is as good for you as this!........................
Bushmills, Irish whiskey.
No worries; we're here to learn.
My ink trail.
OP (other people's)
The mixed six-pack from http://www.baxterbrewing.com/ that I hauled up Katahdin found favor with Achilles and friends at the summit. That was appropriate for the venue, but a good single malt or tequila is more practical over a longer haul.
Strawberry homemade! Hate to have the weight, but don't want to leave home without it. It won't last long. Hike On!!!
