Lt CHEGRough Rider rye old fashioned for me tonight.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” September 02, 2017, 08:07 PM

That's a winner! I acquired my taste for Tanqueray from the "brothas in the hood" where I grew up (Milwaukee), albeit usually with white grapefruit juice. Now that I live in a small town in corn country, I get weird looks ordering one on the rare occasion that me and the missus go out!
Tonight, though, is Exile Brewing Co. "Hannah" Bavarian Wheat Ale.

BRLFirst time trying the Makers Mark. I usually drink my whisky neat but tonight we're trying it on the rocks.
Pretty tasty at the first sip with a fair amount going on. Wasn't sure if I cared for the finish or not but that's not uncommon for first tastes. Second taste it all smoothed out.
I'll shut up now and drink my common whisky.

Going to give this 18 a try in a bit, and if I really like it I'll give the 21 a shot.
What did you think of this? I've been tempted to try this to based on the recommendation of the white haired guy at Total Wine in Woodbury.
Keep in mind if you don't like it they have a no questions refund policy. I excersized that on some rye I bought that I couldn't stomach.

BRLStarted the evening with a nice pour of Highland Park 12. Pretty good but doesn't really stand out like some (not that that's always good).
Finished the evening off with Macallan 12 confirming what I believe, it's really tough to beat a Macallan though the Dalwhinnie 15 sure gives it a run for its money.

rat2306Weihenstephaner Festbier! Today Oktoberfest began! Making Jaeger Spätzle to go with it. Given Spätzle is hard to find here (except in the Army commissary), it's potatoes instead of spätzle this time.
