Bowmore Surf

I hope you can fill me in on what this one is about, I haven't heard of it. But, if it's as salted out as I imagine, and I know Bowmore has the capsity to do so, it's got to be incredible!

Last night was a great soiree with cocktails, wine, beer and finished with the absolutely incredible... Clynelish 14.

Martinez 10 Year Old Tawny Port

Some HP 12.

Alvear Amontillado

Last night I finally had the opportunity to taste some whiskys made by a local distiller that is quite popular around town.

The Rendezvous Rye was excellent on the rocks, I'm very tempted to buy a bottle. Next I tried the silver rye. I didn't care for it at all, and I actually thought it tastes a bit like tequila.

Yesterday, I had another one of the best GT in existence, Hendrick's Gin with Fentiman's Tonic.

A margarita on the rocks. I don't care what anyone says, Jose Cuervo mixes up into a tasty margarita. Liquor snobs be damned.

The guy that works at the brewery said it's their "swill beer". I can dig it.

Suntory Yamazaki 12yo. I've decided that I really like this whiskey; it seems to be between a bourbon and a scotch to me, with a little of the sweet notes of bourbon mixed with the maltier, peaty tones of a scotch. Both different and similar to both to me.

Laphroiag 10 this evening before dinner.

My last two fingers of The Yamazaki 12 as a bracer for a wedding.
One glass of generic red wine at the reception dinner.
One champagne toast. See above.
One bottle of De Konninck later that day. Not nearly as tasty as draft.
Three fingers of Ardbeg 10 late that evening after the family was in bed.

Riazul Anejo

This stuff is knock-your-socks-off good.

The Gold Rush

11/2 oz Domaine de Canton
1 oz Bourbon
1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice

Tasty.

Glenlivet 12

Willett Estate Bottled Single Barrel Rye

Not nearly as nice as the peated Ardbeg or the salted Clynelish.

Celebrated Tuesday's wedding anniversary with Pappy's 12yo Lot B.

More of a beer guy...kicking back with a Hofbrau Maibock on a warm summer night tonight
If you've never had Schlafly's APA dry hopped ale, you don't know what you're missing.
