After a really long day on the golf course, I'm enjoying a nice pour of FR 120th with a small cube.

After my appointment with the sensory deprivation tank (My first time, it was amazing! If you've ever thought about doing this, go for it!) we stopped on the way home at the Cricket Hill Brewing Company for their weekly tasting/tour. I was given some East Coast Lager, American Ale, Blides, and (I don't remember the full name) Breakfast Ale. They were all good and I took home a 6 pack of their Hopnotic IPA since they didn't have it on tap to sample. I'm not sure I'll have any whiskey tonight but a few more of the other beers we picked up today may be in order.

edit: ("may"... lol)

Goodnight.

Goodnight Scott, I'm sure you'll sleep well after those fine pours.

Now over here on the other side of the globe it is 10:32am.

I am having a short taste of Four Roses 120th Anniversary, 109.7 proof.

It is so elegant, the rye spice and fruit sweet combo is to die for.

What I am doing this morning is pouring 3 different bourbons in 3 200ml bottles to take over to a friend's place for after swimming (he has a pool) and after dinner tasting.

I couldn't resist a taste of the FR120.

He is a bourbon and coke guy from way back but I think I will be able to move him up to become,...

dare I say it?

One of us.

Along with the FR 120 I am bringing WLWeller Centennial and Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit 11-8-01 pewter top.

I know this could become very frustrating for him, I can hear it now after he tastes them,..."What the hell do you mean I can't buy these any longer."

As Bugs Bunny used to say, "Ain't I a stinker."

Rittenhouse Rye over ice with a splash of Grand Marnier. Nice for a summer night.

I've been saving my PVW 23 Single Barrel for a very special occasion. Well, one came up last night so I tore open the wax to share with a few close friends. Wow! Intensely full-bodied and complex; lots of rich toffee and brown sugar (creme brulee?). The smoke and oak are present but not overly so --- everthing is wonderfully balanced. One for the ages.

Thanks again to Cliff, and Julian, and all those that made this happen.

The special occasion? See my post under Off Topic.

Was going to have some Weller Centennial, but after reading about John B's good news, I now have a reason to pour some Pappy 20 instead.

Mmmmm...this is some good stuff.

It's still pretty steamy outside and I had to water our monster impatiens in the lest they wither in the heat, so I took a nice pour of WTRB on the rocks along to keep me company.

Beer again. After a week of priming my homebrew, according to the recipe I used, was technically drinkable so I popped one open. I guess the carbonation went well because when I pushed back the lever the top of one of the Grolsch swing tops we used for bottling just about exploded open! The taste, not the best beer I've had but it's definitely good, it actually tastes exactly like something I bought and tried some time ago but I don't remember the name. Just like with the wine I made a while back I was worried about somehow poisoning myself with what I made but, since I drank the beer about 3 hours have passed, I guess it's fine. (I don't know why I always think this or if it's even possible to wind up with something that will make you sick but, for whatever reason, I always think about it.) I called up my friend, the person I made this beer with, and he was pretty happy with it as well. The only thing I don't like is the fact that stuff settled to the bottom of the bottles and it's not like the sediment at the bottom of bottles I've bought that had it, this stuff looks like sludge after you pour the beer out (and like powder before). Oh well...

HA! That made me laugh.

Finished up a couple of pours of Pappy 20, now having a sip of WTRB before calling it a night.

Yeah, I don't know why I'm so unconfident when it comes to alcohol that I made, I guess maybe it's the fermentation process, leaving the stuff sitting there for so long. I mean if there was contamination the bacteria or whatever would really have a long time to build up! Like I said though, I don't even know if it is possible for this to happen; it wouldn't surprise me if this worry was something I don't even really have to be concerned with so long as I am careful to have everything sanitized properly and above all, if it looks and smells right I'm going to drink it anyway! :]

PVW20... if I didn't have the beer taste in my mouth I'd definitely pour myself some of that!

Orange gatorade? (After a night of cava and beer while watching the fights.)

Cava and beer? I've had both but that's a new combination for me.

Well, we went to Bluesmoke for lunch Saturday. Unfortunately, there's no more Blue Smoke 18 yr old van Winkle bourbon. They ran out. The waiter didn't know if or when or in what form it would return.

The brisket sandwich and diet Coke were still good.

Hey Birdman, How's that Hirsch tonight?

For me it's Julio's Weller, Lot B, and now VSOF.
