| Its a long weekend here in Ontario Canada and I've taken a few extra days vacation from work. I'm in my backyard listening to some music and indulging in a few vanilla whiskey highballs and surfing comic related sites. What about you? Whats your unwinding method and beverage of choice?   |

I'm not much of a drinker, so Pepsi at the moment  We just got back from the hospital this morning from the birth of me and my wife's second son Friday. Nice to have an actual bed to sleep in. |

| @Sebastsk8 congrats! Our second was born last November. I wasn’t planning to drink but today was first day of some “time off” and ended up working 4 hrs, cutting the lawn, discovering some small leak with dishwasher (very small, slow leak) caused some hardwood to buckle, unclogged a plugged AC drain pipe that caused some water in part of basement (unfinished area, thankfully) and then cleaned out my wet / dry vac outside to suck up the water. So I am now having a Jack and Coke, NYC style (all Jack, splash of coke) |

| Tried a couple new beverages when I went out over the weekend, a Godfather and an Italian Margarita. At home, finished Balvenie 14 Yr Caribbean Cask. Yummy! Just opened the Woodford Reserve. Hints of citrus and vanilla. | ||

I'm old fashioned, but my drinking habits lean to ales and stouts. Here I'm raising a Chief Justice Stout from several night's ago. Tonight I'm imbibing a Black Butte Porter...    There are enough images of me roaming around on-line, ...this is about the beer!  . |

Quote:Originally Posted by Davethebrave Oof. As a purist, IMO it's a sin to drink single malts in any way other than neat or with a splash of spring water. My friend once mixed Macallan 12 with Coca-Cola. I never offered him scotch ever again. |

| McCallan is in the decanter right now. But, I experiment with different single malts trying to find ones I like (I've found 5 or 6 I absolutely love as of now, and I know I do NOT like the smoky/peaty ones). Not sure what's next, will depend on what I find when I go to buy a new bottle, I usually go back and forth from ones I know I like to new ones, so a new one should be next. I also enjoy a good old-fashioned, with Bulleit Bourbon. But, technically, right now I'm drinking coffee |

Quote:Originally Posted by xvipah As far as non-Islay/Island brands go, have you tried Glenmorangie and their assorted finished cask range? Lasanta, Quinta Ruban, and Nectar d'Or are all finished 2 years in different wine casks. Sherry, port, and sauternes respectively IIRC. Glenmorangie also has a $200 bottle titled Signet, which is one of my absolute favorites, but I have not had it in a long time. The Macallan 18 was cheaper the last time that I bought it. |

Quote:Originally Posted by theCapraAegagrus I have had Glenmorangie itself, like the 15 I think. Never tried the different cask styles though. I'll look and see what they have here. Not sure on pricing now, the Macallan 18 is $250'ish or so, I'll see if they have that Signet anywhere here, worth a shot. One of my favorites right now is The Balvenie 14 in the Caribbean Cask (Rum cask) it tastes like honey, so, so good. The closest I can get to a peaty scotch is The Dalwhinnie. I like it a lot, but it's right on my tolerance for "smokiness". I use a whiskey bullet and then splash some water in usually. Once in a while I'll do "on the rocks" cause I like to sit outside and, here in Florida, it gets so hot that the bullet doesn't work so well to keep it chilled, but melting ice does. |
