Kinda poignant over here at the mo… brewed by Badger Brewery in Dorset over here in Blighty…and a real nice pint it is too
coffee. it’s the weekend, no work, so doesn’t matter what time I stay up until!
maaaybe spike it with some Amaretto.
Having a drink to celebrate our new family member (HD660S2) that just arrived today.
Fortress rum made here in Nova Scotia. The smoothest rum I have ever drank. I rarely drink anymore, but when I do it is usually the Fortress.
Let’s bring this thread back to life or are y’all sober now?
I am drinking Calimocho aka Red wine and coke aka blasphemy in the eyes of a sommelier
blood orange sparkling water.
I’ve got a nice Josh Cellars Cab working right now. Not a premium in my view, but it’s a nice, drinkable cab.
Macallan 18 Sherry Oak Single Malt. Wanted something a little different than the heavier/smokier peated bottles I favor most often and this bottle has been waiting for me to open it since my birthday.
Damn fine Scotch, too. I taste the oak more than the Sherry which was a pleasant surprise, but I also get plenty of hints of spices like cinnamon and nutmeg as well as an extremely clean and smooth finish. A baby could take down a sip without a second thought because it’s just that clean and fresh. I’d highly recommend this if you’re ever looking to drop $300 to $400 on a bottle for a special occasion. Though, I have seen sales drop it as low as $240.
This was the perfect glass for tonight. Period.
tonight…dunno; right now? peach sparkling water.
Stopped by one of our favorite local breweries, Wrong Crowd in West Chester PA USA. Had a couple pours and a pizza. Home now. Between work wearing me down and getting up before dawn all week it’s hard to get “going” even on a 3 day weekend here in the states.
@formerviking I can relate. One thing I will say about the early ride in on the bike is that I have been treated to some pretty sweet sunrises. But that is over now, a nice 3-dayer is upon us, the tunes are on, and I have a glass in hand! Enjoy.
I’ve heard that stuff is strong and can sneak up on you. Better take it easy…
Edit: Totally forgot why I came by the thread. I’m sitting down to a new bottle for me, the BenRiach Smoky 12. It was recommended to me by a buddy who enjoys a good peated single malt, much as I do myself. It’s reasonably priced and quite tasty. And to think, I don’t think I had ever heard of BenRiach before he mentioned this rec a couple days back.
Ah, time to enjoy. Doing something a little different tonight, Got this one going
Pretty good! A definite step up from the standard Cab.
Strange things are happening these days…
I am taking an alcohol break for a few weeks while doing a colon cleansing… Gotta stay healthy yo
Tastes pretty good actually
