EXACTLY what myself a several others enjoyed after 3 hours on the tennis court...

Tonight, a tall Stella Artois. Or two.

Tonight, Knob Creek small batch bourbon.

JW Dant Bottled-in-Bond, maybe Elijah Craig Rye later. For $27 I opine that the ECR is okay. The ECR is more rye-ish than the OF but not as much as the Bulliet.

The heat here has been insane with records falling like crazy. Last night at 2:30am it was 86°F. No central air here so all the windows were open and fans on high. Sleep? What's that?

The weather prompted a finally disposition of a 1.75l bottle of Jose Cuervo already mixed margaritas. It's been hidden on a lower shelf for the past 3 years or so. Don't even recall how it ended up here, but...

So lots of crushed ice and the pre-mixed stuff is almost gone. The heat makes it acceptable.

Going to have some Hennessy this evening.

Tonight it's High West Double Rye.

Screwball peanut butter whiskey.

not tonight !
But Friday night i Pulled the cork on A Bottle of Full proof 1792 Kentucky Bourbon Festival Auction Barrel pick .It was not bad. The Cool part of it My Friend was at the Barrel pick.

Enjoying some chilled Barenjager while watching the Lightning game.

Kronenbourg 1664 Lager, in a can. It's better in a bottle though.

I bought a bottle of Roku gin. I'll try it tonight with some Fever Tree Tonic. I hope it's good because I am in dire need of a good drink today.

Tonight it is Short's Brewery Bellaire Brown. Last night it was Makers Mark.

I like Marker’s Mark. And Old Fashioned’s made with it.

Stopped by Walgreens for my 2nd COVID shot (that’s a story for a different day)

They put the good bourbon behind the counter if they get Blanton’s etc.

Saw what I thought was a few bottles of Old Scout Smooth Ambler, which is one of my favs.

But, they did a barrel pick last year for Appalachian Barrel Select aka Appalachian Whiskey Society, picked up a bottle for $50 on the original release. 120 proof.

These were marked $21.99 !!!!!
I think someone fooked up at the Walgreens!
The manager was standing there and I said give all 6 bottles that you have left.

The looks at them, scratches his head and says I’ll give you 3, I think I better look at the cost again.

I’m betting he messed up on 6 vs 12 in a case

I call it an “Old Weed” … a riff on the Old Fashioned … Jameson, Simple Syrup, and Jameson Seaweed Bitters.

Friday P.M. happy hour calls for Wild Turkey 101 bourbon.

Had several IPA’s at our Friday night hangout...can’t remember the beer names, but had a great evening catching up with friends.

Diet Coke. And Hydrocodone due to recent surgery. So alcohol is not advised.

Last of the Shiners Holiday Cheer.
