Stopped by the local state liquor store and found a display of various bloody Mary mix. Stonewall kitchens not has a line od spiced mixes that went down easily on the deck a short time ago.

So when i show up for tomorrows Steel Match with my 320 9mm and 250 rounds of 40 S&W, I'll know why.

tasty stuff

Springbank 17 Single Cask (Fresh Oloroso Sherry Cask).



-BK

Athens Ohio Brewery's Jackie O's Russian Imperial Stout !!
10.5% ABV

I have stumbled upon a decent progression for an evening's sipping...

1. Old Grand Dad
2. Tullamore Dew
3. Nikka Taketsuru Pure Malt

The flavors build. Lagaluvin or Laphroig could make the fourth.

Brother Thelonious , Belgian Abby Ale from North Coast Brewery !!

Stone Enjoy By 07.04.2015

Alaskan Amber.

Last night it was a dram of The Balvenie DoubleWood.

I'm thinking tonight it may be Laphroaig Quarter Cask.

In honor of National Bourbon Day...

BK- I bought a bottle of Springbank 15 (Campbeltown) based on seeing them in your regular line up; I must say its not to my liking. I was expecting sherried flavor based on online reviews and was instead greeted with vinegar. Did I buy a lemon or is this an acquired taste?

Lets meet up. I'll offer a trade. I have actually yet to try Springbank 15, but have trued the 12, and was bought a bottle of 15 Green this last weekend (1 of 9000 bottles) and I must say it was quite tasty!

I'm enjoying a dram of Highland Park 15 tonight

im in Texas for another week, then Colorado for a week then back to FL. Any SF member can get a free bottle of Springbank 15 (minus two drams!) if they come find me.

Well, my friend, I'd have to say that you either got a bad bottle or the whisky just ain't to your liking. Refer to my earlier post about adding water to your whisky and letting the dram breathe (your palate might require a little water and patience).

Mind you, owing to the distillery's locale, Springbank does have a bit of brine on the palate, but that flavor hardly manifests as vinegar?

I'd have to sample a dram or two to be sure about all of this, man. PM me for my delivery information. As a courtesy to a fellow member, I'm willing to examine that whisky for free.
