I could see that I guess, but it doesn't give me problems. The flavor lingers a good while in my mouth, and I suppose my nose, but I consider that a feature. Have to be in the mood though. Islay whisky isn't usually a warm weather whisky. It goes better with harsh weather. An exception is...

Very peaty!. It's at the upper end of the typical range on par with Laphroaig. I usually save these for rainy days, but it felt right tonight despite the lack of precip.

Burning the dregs of a couple Swedish candles, and a Sam Adams oaked vanilla porter.

I could do Beam, and I probably should've, but I already bought the vodka. When I got my flasks I got vodka and Southern Comfort. I liked Comfort has a kid, but holy shit it's terrible now. I think it's a combination of my tastes changing, and the actual product changing. It tasted cheaper and...

I'm struggling with the Smirnoff. Stolichnaya is pretty decent, but it doesn't come in pocket friendly plastic flasks afaik.

Trying to get Mike his climbing flasks. I need to get off my ass and drink some vodka. I think I'll have one finished tonight, but it has a broken cap. I'm hoping the plastic Malört cap will fit it. That would actually be ideal, cause it's a different color. Helps prevent mixing up gas and oil.

I'm pretty skeptical of apéritifs and digestifs doing anything. I seldom have stomach trouble of any kind, so I can't test them for functionality. I think they're probably just an excuse for drinking more alcohol, with a little dash of placebo, so they may work after a fashion, but wouldn't hold...

Neutral grain base. It's a digestif with bitter herbs. 29 herbs, roots, bark, leaves, and flowers according to the label :^D

Just one shot. I want to make it last. I've been on a huge bitters kick lately. This, Jepsons Malört, Alta Verde amaro, and Underberg. Bitter dram is my favorite of the bunch I think. Complex flavor, and the right amount of alcohol. The Alta Verde is pretty tasty, but kinda weak at 24% alcohol...

Same pic from earlier in the thread a year ago, same bottle, different glass.

I got really drunk on peach schnapps once as a kid, and to this day peach and alcohol is a bad combination. Peach isn't a flavor I really enjoy anyway. I like peaches, but not peach flavored stuff. This morning I had coffee with Carolans Irish cream and salmiakki(thanks stig!). That's a...

Home on a snow day, listening to the classical station. Good time for brandy. Boss gave me a bottle of Elijah Craig 18yr single barrel. I just looked it up today; $300/bottle D^:

Smirnoff vodka. Trying to get Mike a couple hip flasks for oil and fuel, but this one apparently broke the lid when it fell out of the freezer. I'll either have to find a lid out on the ground, or buy another flask. Vodka isn't my favorite. I'll drink a couple shots in the winter, and pretend...

I was just thinking about aging spirits, and how an añejo tequila is still extremely young by scotch standards. It's the aging environment. Warmer places age faster. Also, every spirit has an optimal age, and it isn't always the oldest. That got me thinking about Highland Park whisky. 12yr was...

Jarritos are sweet! Good for soda though. Have you had any aged tequila? They're pretty good imo. I only get añejo tequila. Tres Generaciones and 1800 are both quite good, and of course Patrón is very fine.

To go along with my leftover shepherd's pie. First time I've had it. Strong and tasty...

I went out for firewood and discovered a package from @stig... Thank you stig! This is quite good. I can taste the family resemblance with Jepson's Malört, but this is way more complex. I'll have to spend some time with it to try to tease out the flavors I'm getting(and I'll translate the...
