I concur, amigo.

Just had my nite-cap,Black Crown and ginger ale.
Man I am so sleepy so by.

Yazi ginger vodka-tasty!

Pappy Van Winkle. In my opinion, not worth the money.

I have a bottle of Barton's 1792 that is better.

Evan Williams well bourbon...on ice.

Trying something new - Woodford Reserve Double Oak

Going with a nice cold Adirondack Bear Naked Ale.

Jameson.

I finally found something I like as well as Crown.

Good stuff.

Check out the Redbreast 12yr sometime if you haven't already, a Single-Pot-Still Irish Whiskey, and a tad less 'medicinal tasting' than Jameson or Bushmills, IMO, and thus a bit tastier, and slightly more like American and Canadian whiskeys. It's still clearly Irish Whiskey, though.

Similarly, though much harder to find outside of Ireland, is Green Spot, another Single Pot Still whiskey.

Though I've had a bunch of Jameson and Bushmills, Redbreast amd Green Spot are the only two I like (enough to buy, at least).

You guys keep some excellent French wines around your home here, given your wife and visits?

I bring some back when I go, but it's not nearly often enough. So many great choices, and values.

Midnight Moon

transitioning to EW 1873...neat

lagavulin 16 with a few ice chips.

My wife has been in Seattle all week on business and I just got home from my 10 year old daughters 5th grade social. Chaos to say the least- Just didn't feel like a beer or wine night tonight.

New one for me tonight - Auchentoshan 12 year. A little surprised, but it was a very good 2 drams. More floral and light than I am used to, being a Lowland from the west coast, but a good dram none the less. I could see myself drinking a dram with breakfast tea.

Starting with a sip of Tomatin to celebrate Scottish Dependence Day. Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest, and maybe a Stash IPA.

Blantons! Original
