What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Ghost Rider]

Even with the least expensive stuff you still manage to know your stuff. Dewar's uses Alberfeldy in their blends. That is a decent single malt. Laphroaig has changed a bit recently. It is not a big peat monster like it used to be. They dialed it back a bit. If you want REALLY smoky to go with BBQ then try Ardbeg. Their ads don't lie:

Oh yes, and if not Ardbeg, then Lagavulin

 

[jamespowers]

Yes sir! Both will do but Ardbeg is definitely more bold in my experience. I had a friend who had to hold his nose to get it down. :rofl: He doesn't like peat.

Very true. Another similar (i.e. salty) Islay is Bunnahabhain, but I've found that this varies a lot depending on the batch.

Me too, although he's a convert now. I think it's possibly due to the fact that I have mostly Islay whiskies, so when he was visiting and wanted a dram, there wasn't much else on offer

Bunnahabhain is strange in that way. if you don't like it this time then try next time. I have a fair selection of areas so my friend is usually ok.

Yep. It's my celebration shirt. Wore it for the beer reunion..and my 62 birthday in avatar and the same day here..

Well, then here's to you wearing a lot more of that shirt.

Last night a G&T, before dinner and a bottle of Sam Adams Boston Lager with dinner.

 

[DavidJones]

Tonight a Red stripe with dinner, and some St-Remy Napoleon Brandy with my book. Quality time.

HI

I had an Old Style in a bar in downtown Tulsa. They had Marshall IPA, which is VERY hoppy, but since I was driving I tried an Old Style. I hadn't had one since the 1980's. It wasn't as bad as I remembered. Not much flavor, but a decent lighter beer.

A few SA Boston Lagers watching the fights.

While we were on a roadtrip to Alabama this week I stopped at a little Mexican restaurant with my wife's sister. We decided to have a drink while we waited for our food. I had a Brass Monkey (orange juice, rum and vodka). It was delicious. During the trip we also drank beer and wine and I was introduced to this stuff.

Pretty tasty!

You need a leather one. My grandmother used to knit on one of those.

Leather is out, because both dogs might lay in it. Unless I put "booties" on them, we don't do leather due to claws.
BTW, both of them share a Lane Tranquility recliner....puts them right out.

Finished up the Crios Syrah/Bonarda.
Tonight I'll open a Casillero Del Diablo Syrah/Cabernet. I really like this one because of the semi sweetness of the Syrah, with the "woody" taste of the Cabernet. Oh sure not as descriptive at the English majors that write the label (hints of tobacco and chocolate, with blueberry aftertaste and pepper on the nose). I think they are drunk when the write those things, I can't taste any of that!

If you thought Redd's was pretty good then you should try Angry Orchard, it is much better.

I thought I was IPA'd out, but this Rye IPA from local brewery Harpoon is rather nice for late afternoon refreshment

 

[HudsonHawk]

Mrs. Hawk and I went to the theater last night. A nice dinner at the Asian bistro...Kelt XO cognac and a Montecristo #1 to finish off the evening.

It was a good night.

A #1 allows you enough time to enjoy it and not take up too much time.

Still trying to like the new Hornsby Cider flavor and finish off the six pack.

Hold your nose and choke it down.

Tonight I had an Ovila:

I am not a quitter so I will suffer on.
An Ovila looks tempting at the moment.

Good! Ovila is indeed.

Tomorrow's mission: to find Ovila.

My day is complete.
