Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

Excellent christening ceremony.

Rebel Yell & Rebel Yell 100 makes boys grow up to be men, puts hair on their chest. As federal troops used to say when they feared Rebels, "pups grow up to be hounds".

Like Joe, a Guinness was my beer choice.

Busy day finds me sampling some black tea, Guinness and Kaiken Ultra Malbec 2016( Malbec (full red bodied red wine).

Enjoy the day. Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

I just had to have some Tex Mex curbside; I had the shakes, it had been so long. Carne Asada may have saved my life! Now it's time to relax with some Fortaleza Blanco Tequila. Stetson One-hundreds & a nifty Stetson Fifty hang on the wall.

1950’s Dobbs with Guild Edge and a Founders Breakfast Stout watching WrestleMania

Wore this hat to see Garth Brooks with just 900 of his Friends in Low Places for his dive bar tour a few months back... but today it’s WrestleMania with a crowd of Zero... strange times!

Brad Phillips, a.k.a. the Red Fox

Found this Shine being distilled not far away. Looking forward to trying some once the All Clear from the coronavirus has sounded. I'm hoping the Pecan Pie has a nice nutty flavor & not too sweet. That's what I like about the Chaplin Hills Hemp Seed Shine is the nutty flavor.

Enjoying a ‘Hagood’s Famous Irish Latte’ on the patio this morning while working on a new hat and watching the backyard wildlife:








Hope everyone is doing OK.

Tomorrow April 6th is the Anniversary of the Declaration of Arbroath of 1320. So in honor of the Scottish people & their descendants worldwide, drink some Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

Happy Tartan Day in honor of the Arbroath of 1320!

Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Aged in new oak casks, then finished in first fill Caribbean Rum casks for 14 yrs. Great color & clean Oak wood flavor with just a hint of sweetness. I prefer the Doublewood series but my last bottle of Caribbean Cask was 2 yrs ago & I had forgotten what a good sipping whisky this is.

Been wearing a 1960's Stetson Playboy in Royal grade, gray with 7/8" aqua ribbon, keyhole size tag & rear seamed liner.

Great choice Jack, I haven’t tried the Caribbean Cask.

I’ll join you in a toast to National Tartan Day. Gotta throw some Harris Tweed in there....

SLÀINTE MHATH !!

That one is new to me too.

I do prefer the Doublewood as well. I’m a sucker for the Sherry Casks. Guess that’s why I like The Macallan so much.

 

[Rumad]

I’ve been milking this bottle for a long time. Seems like I finally killed it.

I stopped buying Macallan when they took a huge price increase a few yrs ago & blamed it on the lack of Sherry casks. No one else took the increase.

Yeah it’s a good drink, but this bottle was picked up before the jump.

Found a lost sheep....forgot all about it.

You reminded me to check my beer fridge for lost sheep as well....

Good one while taking the day off today and relaxing on the patio. Texas beer out of Houston.

National beer day. I was out on the dock watching our neighborhood loons frolic. The last Omni Beer Co. Crowler was finished this evening. Time for ordering a delivery! Neglectfully I did not take a pic.

I did look up National Whiskey Day is 8/25. I bet we could come up with a comprehensive everyday reason to imbibe.

Here is a yesterday pic.

Hopefully a pic of me tipping a glass of grapefruit juice at brunch will suffice. Cheers for the Beer Day! This said, everyday is a celebratory beer day.

Best, Eric -

I'm back on my mission, there's a Tequila for every Tequila Tuesday. Enjoying a fresh bottle of Tequila Ocho Plata Single Estate. This is my 2nd or 3rd bottle since I discovered Tequila Ocho & it is quite smooth & good.

After a long winter I broke this Gannon out for Spring a couple wks ago.

That’s a great Gannon. Would you recommend that tequila to one who is a bit of a tequila snob? I’ve never heard of it, but love to try new ones.
