Four ingredients can make a GREAT beer. Perfection in simplicity. Deschuttes Black Butte Porter is an example of the combination of barley, hops, yeast, and water that can create a stunning beverage. Tonight I am enjoying simplicity.

The hat looks better than the hard coffee! My brother in law and I, like whiskey in our coffee, but we know it is whiskey and coffee!Thanks Joe! Just realized I was in the wrong thread. Here is the hat I was wearing ...

After a morning out with my black Woomera, HH came early with some Cragganmore 12 Speyside. Great afternoon Scotch but the Craigellachie 13 is just as good at a better price point.

Testing my hypothesis from above I would say that the Cragganmore 12 is probably worth the price difference over the Craigellachie 13 for most people. Besides a taste difference the Cragganmore is distilled at 40% ABV & the Craigellachie @ 46% , so a bit rougher than the smoother Cragganmore.

Excellent to know. BTW, that is a great whiskey glass.
Sounds like something I need to add to my already long list. I am envious of your opportunity to taste test them Jack. Perhaps in a week I will have some time to do a taste test. Work and tasks have me booked for a bit. Until them I am living on your experiences. Keep them coming.
Cheers to all. Best, Eric -

Thanks Eric. I know it's been difficult keeping a business running this past yr with the pandemic. And a business geared to hrs other than 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM adds to the stress of one's lifestyle. Here's a wish to your continued success!
I've decided I'll keep the Cragganmore 12 if I can continue to build backstock by catching it on sale occasionally, & probably just buy the Craigellachie 13 from time to time.

Hope all turns out well HJ. Usually the end of a chapter results in the beginning of a new one. Anyway, take it easy. Strum a guitar. Read a book. Be well man.

Thanks Alan, that's much appreciated. It's just so seldom to get good news in this word today.

A toast to the United States of America whose Founders formed a more perfect union. With beer whose “founders” formed a more perfect beer.

Jack; I do believe that good guys win in the end. The difficulty with being a good human is a daily toil for me. Be good and know that reading this thread does bring a smile to my face often.
Cheers Alan!
Oh yes the Oatmeal Stout! This weekend I had delivered more Oatmeal, Porter, Mas Agave, Red's Eye IPA and All Day. Soon I will have to do a sampling.
I am chuckling with the visual image of the Founders in a Guinness logo'd glass.
Cheers folks. Be excellent, Eric -

The irony was not lost on me either. But I figured what the hell. I am a Mc and all. Melting pot Cheers.

Commiserating is about half the job of whiskey and sometimes it just has to get to work. It's healthy and wise to take a little time to mourn and reflect before we move on, but the moving is the key. Plenty more chapters to go before the book closes. I hope you are staying well during these trying times, Jack.

Quoting a paragraph from an email I received yesterday. I'm hoping this is just a lapse in licensing or something, & not a change in the political wind:

Unfortunately right now we can not ship spirits out of the state of Minnesota. We are working with the state for clarification but right now we are only shipping wine out of state and we are only shipping in the Midwest temporarily. We can ship all products within the state of Minnesota. Hopefully we will have more clarity in the next couple of weeks. Its a big blow to our business and hopefully can be rectified soon.
Have a great weekend,
Ace Spirits

Last night was a new bottle of Lagavulin 16.

Great pics, HJ. The Glencairn glass is really nice. I hope it’s just a licensing/distribution glitch that clears soon with your supplier.
