Indulgence of the Night -- March / April 2010

[castlecraver]

In like a lion, out like a lamb? Or the other way around?

Either way, gonna need some indulgences to get us through March!

Tonight was an exercise in feeling stupid. Decided I wanted mojito. I picked up some mint and lime a couple days ago. So went to make my drink...

Realised that I forgot to pick up club soda.
Realised that I had a seltzer bottle!
Realised I drank the last of the seltzer at dinner.
Realised I had some CO2 and could make more! So I did.

Cut my lime and pulled out the mint... hey, this mint smells an awful lot like basil. :a52:

Oh well, I already had the lime cut. So here's my indulgence for the day, after feeling so bleeding stupid.

Two shots Patron
One shot Gran Marnier
Two limes, juiced
Half a shot agave syrup
Half a shot water

Man, that's a good margarita! Now only if I had a nice cigar. Oh well, it's too cold to go outside, anyway.

Long, long day. Delicious, delicious Macallan 12 year.

Last night was a glass of Four Roses 2008 Mariage.

[VR6ofpain]

It is the middle of the week and I just go over being sick. A Stella fit the bill nicely with dinner.

[thunderball]

Had a bit of 'brook laddie' after dinner.

[Not A Nice Person]

Last night was Aberlour 12 and a Tatuaje Cojonu 2009 at the cigar lounge, Aberlour a'bunadh and a CAO LX2 at home afterwards.

I love Fridays. :thumbup1:

Last night I nipped into the Jameson's Gold Reserve I picked up over the weekend.

[pb300]

Worked a half day to start my night early as a belated birthday celebration. Jameson, mango shisha, a bond movie, practicing with my new fountain pens, and finish everything off later with a hot shower and shave. It's been a good day so far!

I'm currently enjoying a Guinness Draught (from the widget can) and catching up with the week's television on the DVR.

[180gVinyl]

Very indulgent for a monday night but sod it, I've been virtually temperate over the weekend.


Booths Freedom Food National Trust 21 day dry aged Hereford sirloin steak
French Agata potatoes
Peas

Chateau D'Argadens Bordeaux Superieur 2004 ( A Sichel petit chateau)

Flying Dog Classic Pale Ale
Aberlour 16 yo

[Luscombe]

Tonight it is a dram or two of a single malt, a 19 yr Balblair special bottling, in a Glencarin Scotch glass. I missed out on the B&B glasses. Got the same Glencarin glasses for Christmas, they are great.

Joined a Scotch club for a birthday present; they send me a different special bottling of single malt every two months. I am learning about the differences and educating my tastes all at the same time. The little scotch glasses help to enjoy the experience.

I hit a Glenlivet tasting last night. My buddy and I started early with burgers and Woodford reserve at the bar and then headed in for a sampling of the 12 Year Old, 15 Year Old French Oak, 16 Year Old Nadurra, and the 18 Year Old.

Quite a nice evening.

[TimmyBoston]

First time out since heading out with Rob and Pat.

Pint of Guiness, Boddingtons, Ranger IPA and a Black and Tan. All wonderful beers. :001_smile

First taste of Basil Hayden's last night. It's a good whiskey, and a nice change of pace from my favorites. Very light, thin, but not too weak. Strong pepper and spice. A bit on the pricey side at $33, when I can get Black Maple Hills for $25, Rare Breed for $29, etc...

Also had a Tanner's Jack Ale, which reminds me of a slightly more complicated Newcastle at a higher price.

Last night a pour of Four Roses Single Barrel.

John,

If you liked the BH then pick up a bottle of Old Grand Dad. Beam using the same recipe but ages to 8 years for BH. The OGD is a lot cheaper. It comes in 86, 100 BIB, & 114. The BIB is my favorite.

I've almost picked up the OGD 114 once or twice in the past. I haven't seen the BIB yet. I'm not usually a huge rye fan, so the BH was a change of pace for me.

My hang over tastes like honey.

I used to go hangout at this hole in the wall bar in Cleveland that was run by a little old Ukrainian lady. Everytime we paid the bill the would bring the change back with a round of Barenjager for everyone it the group.

[bonusmarple]

A glass of Toasted Head Barrel Reserve Chardonnay. Nice way to end the day.

[pb300]
