lol yeah no kidding. I mean I literally didn't open my liquor cabinet for like a month.
It has been raining really hard for the past few days. I drank like 3 Sazerac last night.....

Haven't had a scotch in awhile. Opened a bottle of Talisker Distiller's Edition just now, poured myself 3 fingers while I wait for my lady to get out of the shower. Long day.

on my second rolling rock after a long long day. perfect with a bowl of pulled pork, black beans and paprika rice.

Opened my bottle of Port Charlotte An Turas Mor last night. Being too po' to have sampled the other PC editions, I am now wondering what I missed out on....

Evan Williams Black, neat. I had forgotten just how good the standard grade can really be just for sipping- I've had the 1783 for a while, and used it up recently. Went back down a grade, and I think I actually prefer this. A little more rough around the edges, but I like the balance of flavors better.

Odd, since it's the exact same mashbill apart from aging. Perhaps I need to try them side by side again.

But really- damn this whiskey is a good buy.

Jefferson's Presidential Reserve 18 Year Bourbon. First bottle of real liquor, I'm starting to be able to get past the alcohol burn and taste the flavor.

Congrats!

And that's certainly ambitious for the first bottle you can really taste the flavor on. Enjoy your journey through the wonderful world of spirits.

ikely my last appropriate opportunity for this. i only drink this when i'm in the midst of a long hike or bike ride.

Balvenie 17 year old peated cask- a little housewarming gift to myself after moving into my new apartment. Very nice.

messing around with Old Fashioned recipes. Pure Kentucky bourbon as the base.

Speaking of the above, old fashioned. Lemon, cherry, sugar, bitters, bourbon. Usually I do a lemon slice and an orange slice, but no oranges.

Yes, I make 'em fruity. If I wanted straight whiskey, I would drink straight whiskey. An Old Fashioned is fruit, water, sugar, bitters, spirit, damnit! And a tiny bit of lemon oil does not count as fruit!

*ahem*

I mean, the original definition of cocktail required all of those various elements, and the "Old Fashioned Cocktail" name was coined as a harkback to the days where that's what cocktail meant, in the era where cocktails were becoming increasingly varied and very much straying from that classic formulation. And cocktails using that name should not leave any of those elements out. It's like omitting vermouth from a martini- fine if that's how you like your gin, but you're no longer drinking something of the same name.
