For a few 2-Pulls under my Churchill DalWorth 40

Now home for some smoky Islay Scotch, Ardbeg An Oa.

I tip my brim in your direction Jack. The Churchill and cattleman's crase look at home on your head and on the bar. Even more so, my eyes perked up at notice of your Ardbeg treat. My sort list of "needs" is led off by Ardbeg Uigeadail . I have to make some time to head down to Ace Spirits. Note to self.

Cheers, Eric -

Thanks Eric! Back to black hats today as another winter weather advisory has been issued. Yesterday was 71* for a high, today just in the 30's.

I had a delicious bison burger during HH so was wanting a smoky Islay when I got home. I have been told by ACE that they are under new ownership.

National Margarita Day was heavily promoted this yr & the place was packed. Hard for a guy to get a hat pic off the bar.

It was a cold evening so I soon took my Navy blue VS & headed home for some Tequila without all the sweat stuff.

Then home for some Ardbeg An Oa.

Man I love that hat HJ. Mine is under way. I’m chomping at the bit. BTW, one of your favorite tequilas was featured in an episode of that ridiculous moonshine show (on discovery I think?), Ocho. Seeing their distillery and processes was interesting.

Thank you Alan! I enjoy both of mine very much. I remember you were in the queue for March. I won't ask you much about your choices so it will be a pleasant surprise. I would be in the queue for another Highwayman if there was a good vintage color left. Look forward to you getting yours.

Tequila Ocho Plata & Siete Leguas Blanco are my favorites. I keep searching but find nothing better. Depends on if you really like strong cooked blue agave & how you drink tequila I guess.

I’ve been searching for the Ocho for quite a while around here with no luck. I’ll be sure to grab some when I do find it. Tonight I’m sipping on some El Tesoro extra añejo. Cheers.

In your part of the country you might get some ideas on retailers by following Long Island Lou.

Looked on YouTube but couldn't find that video. You might enjoy this one. It's a 2 hr video but most of the interesting knowledge comes in the first hr or so. Jesse is the son, now partner in Ocho since the passing of his father.

Cool, thanks.

Under the bright bar lights I think Blackie needs a vacuum.

Brown sugar cinnamon latte with oat milk (a modern Boy Scout’s beverage paired with a vintage BSA hat).

Headed out for HH with el jefe, a Stetson One-hundred.

Enjoying a favorite, KC Bier Co. Dunkel. Every Bier they brew is a German style; dark & strong.

What a fantastic hat, and those epic dents are amazing. This may be my favorite hat of yours. So, you’re back at JT’s. Have you convinced them to sell you a glass yet?

Among their merch they sell tee shirts, caps, wing sauce, etc but no glasses. I swore this winter wearing a big coat I'd get one, but...

We spent Jan 2018 in Corpus Cristi & I wore this hat most of the month. Made friends with a knowledgable owner of a liquor store & had a lot of informative conversations with him. I noticed at some point that he always called me El jefe & it just sort of stuck with the hat.

I do have two of these on the way for my glass collection. First ones I'd seen.

I can't compete with that Stetson 100, that hat is terrific, but I had a great IPA from a new Oregon brewery, Van Henion Brewing. Wearing my sage Stetson Lamont tonight.

Back in my university days, I would have snuck one of those glasses into my bag or pocket after finishing the drink! Now I don’t want to encourage no law breakin’, but it should be easy if you’ve got a big coat.
