Well. Ted stopped by last night. We finalized our extra bottles to share for CVMM (our whisky tasting group). It's a tough job but somebody's got to do it.
Dirty Vodka Gimlet here 4 olivesI like gin, and I don't mind goid vodka mixed. Never had a dirty martini. Oh and I love olives as well. What's my problem!
Let me guess, A Simon and Garfunkel tune. The S of S.Hello bottles my old friends. I've come to sample you again.
Just part of a song parody I'm working on for you Mike,
Can you guess the song
vanilla? What would possess someone to drink vanilla?I had a neighbor get hulled away by ambulance last weekend because she drank three bottles of vanilla. She’s not back home yet!
She could have knocked on my door. I have plenty to share.Real vanilla has alcohol in it, I don’t know why but it does.
The walk would've worn her out I thinkShe could have knocked on my door. I have plenty to share.
I got my Rye batch kit ordered for MITP. It is called Sticky Wicket Oatmeal Stout. I have made it before and really enjoyed it. The oatmeal gives it a creamy mouth feel and a nice solid head. And you know how well us guys like good head!Dogfish Head World Wide Stout 18%. Amazing for those who haven't tried it.

Of the Old Foresters, my favorite is the 1920 Prohibition one.With all this talk about Old Forrester picks I decided to revisit my 3 bottles. I have only taken a sip from my 86 proof shelf bottle. I think I bought it at Conoco 3 years ago for 22 bucks. I have been missing out. It is quite tasty. Creamy and butterscotch on the nose with a hint of dark fruit, like grape or light plum. It reminds me of BT products.
Light sweet and oak starting out on the palate. For just 86 proof, it coats the tongue with toasty oak and vanilla. Oops, I just got just a hint of anise and it left as quickly as it came.
Medium long finish with light sweet and toasty oak. Like toasted marshmallow.
As usual the longer I type the better it get's. Don't hurry it along.
Quite impressive for a cheap bottle. HA! It's probably 40 bucks now days! Still "nice for the price " Cheers!

Shelf bottles I do agree. I have one on the shelf and for some reason I have been nursing it. If I empty it they make more! LOL The 2 barrel picks I have are real tasty. A notch or two above the 1920.Of the Old Foresters, my favorite is the 1920 Prohibition one.
Nice! I have seen that one but haven't tried it. American single malts are becoming quite popular.I picked up a Yellowstone single malt 108 proof. Light and sweet with a small burn on the end.
I should probably invest in wine glasses that accept less than half a bottle of wine........
