    What Are You Drinking? January 2025

    I recommend the Last Word highly, or just using some as flavoring for carbonated water (perhaps with some honey?). I also hear that the French take a teaspoon as medicine when they're ailing.

    Best Blend of 2024: The Elimination Game Part

    +1792 - Ennerdale If I can do kindergarten math, I'm pretty sure Ennerdale's dead now.

    I once bought a bottle of Bunnabhain cuz it came with some glencairns, that definitely had a touch of saltiness to it.

    I wonder why tamping helps.

    The explanation I've heard is that the tobacco expands while it burns, and tamping keeps the burning leaf in contact with the rest of it so the flame spreads easier.

    Best Blend of 2024: The Elimination Game Part

    For which I claim at least 50% of the credit (but statistically about a third), as the one who dragged it into the fray. What has become of Rule Britannia's champions? Have they forsaken it, here on the field of eliminations, flocking to the banners of other blends? Tragic.

    War Horse Bar is a winner!

    Better hurry, friend. It's been discontinued, so once the stores run out that's it for War Horse.

    Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

    I was curious as to the exact scale of blend-ocide this was, so did a quick minute of research: Not counting any of the other brands, ONLY MacBaren and Sutliff, totals about 225 total tin+bulk listings on SPC. ...Down to 14.

    What Are You Drinking? January 2025

    Disclaimer, I'm a novice and have yet to develop a refined whiskey palate. I get cedar and a little bit of floral which is supposedly from the sakura. Aftertaste vaguely reminiscent of banana. Matsui does a Sakura cask single malt, which I'll probably check out next. Edit- Apparently in the...

    Kamiki Sakura - blended, 48% ABV, matured in oak, then cedar, then Sakura.

    Has Rule Britannia's number moved at all since the elimination began?! Unacceptable! I'm gonna go bloody its nose. -3 Rule Britannia Welcome to the fight, ruler of the waves, prepare to be scuttled.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    War Horse, nearly finished. Happy New Year, be well. I'm gonna go warm my cold hands and have some whiskey. Japanese stuff, so I suppose I'll end my WAYS 2024 presence with an "akemashite omedetou"!

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    With an insulated cup of oolong tea my my side, I set up shop on the front porch for the 90 minutes until the new year, to watch for any neighborhood fireworks. Cringle Flake '24 is bowl #1.

    Skippy's Blend of the Week

    I raised a glass in tribute to y'all the other week, when I finally realized, "Wait a second, all that hilarious shit-talking I saw in old threads that led me to try War Horse was from its marketing team."

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2024?***

    Third round of Haunted Bookshop in the meer tonight. It's exactly warm enough to smoke on the porch - though I do wish I had thought to put on socks under my slippers.

    Show your kiseru.

    Got this two or so years ago, American-made by a company which seems to no longer exist. Why? I'm a young man of the first world, which automatically means I've watched too many Japanese cartoons, so I thought it might be neat to try - could look nice on a shelf, of nothing else. I've had...

    Best Blend of 2024: The Elimination Game Part

    + 1792 - Bosun Cut Because I've had Bonus Plug and it strikes me as silly that there's a non-zero possibility the final round of elimination would be Bosun vs Bosun. ...then again, maybe I should start voting to try and get that to happen.
