Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Instead of buying a hat this month, I bought my first ever bottle of Scotch. It's like drinking pure liquid oak over a campfire. I thought it wore well with my Lee silver label sage green homburg.

Dude! Your FIRST bottle of scotch is Laphroaig??? That could put your d*ck in the dirt if you're not careful! :eusa_clap Bravo for throwing it down!! Great combo, Jeff. That is a wonderful hat; I know it's a sage color, but in the pic it looks about as smoky as that dram tastes! I'm just finishing my bottle of Glen Grant as I type. Another bottle is on my shopping list. Yum.

Ach Jeff, Laphroig is good, but Talisker is killer (made on the Isle of Skye).

Love the grass cutting hat Dale. Classic Dixie.

Cool hat on the bottle AnA!

Yes that is great!
I had missed your post from June 28. Yeah the laphroig is intense, but I had tried it a few days earlier at a bar where the tender added smoke from a cedar plank, and I loved it! That peatiness... I'm still barely a scotch novice. I will have to try the talisker, Perry!

What a tasteful pair, Bowler! Laphroaig is one of my favorites. Try to add a few drops of water (preferably calcium free). It opens the bouquet and refines the taste considerable. A sidecar with water - and a third of a straw, snipped off to use as pipette - would be great company to the rest of that table

I think maybe a sidecar differs from culture to culture. Here is what an American dictionary calls a sidecar (lemon juice and brandy):

Where did you purchase that hat? It looks well built and nicer than the one I picked up at Tractor Supply. http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/dpc-straw-hat-with-green-visor?cm_vc=-10005

Hi rgraham....thanks for that link, I'm glad to know I can still get one if needed. This one is probably at least 15 years old, it came from Walmart I think.

Apparently you live near me.

See that you do, Jeff, it's worth it.

Gymnastics practices complete late evening on a Friday and start at 7:30 am on Saturday. I just sleep at the gymnastics gym on a Friday evening to save the commute time. Long hours from 7:30am Friday morning practice to Saturday afternoon. Glad to be home. Kicking up my heels celebrating with a Midnight Ryder, American Black Ale ( http://www.indeedbrewing.com/beers/midnight-ryder/ ) this afternoon.

My Lee American, grey felt has been keeping my head fashionably covered on the way home.

Best, Eric -

Nice hat and interesting looking beer!

My only real expensive hat and some moderately priced bourbon...

But come on. They do go together, don't you think?

Heh, ya caught me before I started imbibing! Hadn't even opened the bottle yet when I took that photo. It's not a bad bourbon, either. Even whiskey reviewers say it is a good sip.

Great pic empty glass or not.

I think it is bottled by Heavenly Hill. They make decent hooch...
