Tough Week

You can use that to sterilize surgical tools.

Ha! yes You could do that, but it would probably then totally mess with the, “Long finish of black coffee, dark cherries, & herbs”

Well earned, enjoy

That's Blue Ghost. Very smooth. Nothing like the lesser JWs. Red is gross. Black is okay. The rest are excellent.

A friend gave me a bottle of some rare single malt Scotch. I took one sip and I swear it burned a hole in my duodenum.

Black was my go to for years in bars. Red wasn’t to my taste. Blue is smooth. Typically we do Makers cause it is always in stock when I’m playing.

As far as rye, High Plains, out of Utah, makes a Double Rye that makes me swoon.

Otherwise I’m a gin guy and prefer making my own, or taking tiny sips of good mescals with sangrita so it lasts for an hour.

Sip and enjoy.

Something odd about the ice cube.
Looks like it's floating on top of the alcohol

Something about Makers seems to keep the hangover minimal for me.

This stuff too and it’s really good. I was skeptical of it at first at give it a try.

Worked my tail off so....

Looking forward to the blood sugar spike from the fruits of your labor

Islay, ftw.

Still a Laphroaig fan, but Ardbeg Wee Beastie is great for a 5 year. Their Uigeadail is just ridiculously good. Smooth and smoky. Found some Port Charlotte too, which was a surprise.

I love Breckenridge bourbon! Also love eating at the distillery when in Breck.

No carbs in scotch. In most spirits really.

That's why I quoted his words and not the booze pic

If you ever get a chance to go to a JW tasting party don’t miss it.

I’ve been to 2 of them in Denver. Black tie event. Had a placemat with a shot of every product they make along with a host that explained how each were made.

Fun and educational. Gained some respect for blended whiskey.

Still a Lagavulin man though!

Don't drink, but ran into this looking up the Blue: https://www.totalwine.com/spirits/s...s-of-flavor-blended-scotch-whisky/p/244695750

It does look a little odd.

This is the second clue to me along to - 14 thread... Something big is going to happen..

I go for Blanton’s after a really tough week or a really great week… it seems right for both occasions.

For Scotch, it’s Lagavulin 16 year. I like that it tastes like a campfire.

Honorable mentions:
Company Distilling
Kentucky Vintage (cheaper Willett)
Michter’s Rye
Woodford Reserve - the “Starbucks” of bourbons because it’s good, consistent, and you can get it anywhere.

I spent some time in the Asia Pacific, and spent more time on that rock called Okinawa. I can’t look at a bottle of Suntory without this song running through my head…(sung to John Denver’s Country Roads)…

Almost Heaven, Okinawa
Suntory whiskey
