***What are You Drinking?*** August 2021

Are you ready for some football??

I was going to mention Noah's Mill -- I like it better than Rowan's Creek, my wife feels the opposite. Both are the full, broad flavored bourbons (vanillas, nutty, lingering finish) vs the ones that have a bit more of the petrol kick to them. I think out here I've found them at BevMo -- and at a good wine/liquor place on the Westside.

We’re state controlled in N.C. Truck chasers wipe out new shipments as soon as they arrive at the ABC stores. It’s beyond cut throat.

I wish I had options like you have.
btw, my wife loved the Rowan’s Creek too?

We have seen your collection, though -- you are doing something right. (And am I remembering correctly you told a tale about cultivating the right friends at some of the stores? This adds more context to having to do that! Enjoy your Sat evening.

I'll get ahead of myself and say I *think* we'll be having Brother's Bond Manhattans tonight -- it is our 25th wedding anniversary so that could change; we already celebrated with a few dozen oysters for lunch. (And last night was Beefeater Martinis.)

Congratulations @EssJaySea on a huge milestone anniversary.
I toast you and your bride with Colonel E.H. Taylor small batch.
Cheers!

Marriage halves our griefs,
doubles our joys
and quadruples our expenses

We’ve decided upon Brothers Bond old fashioneds — to try to let the bourbon speak a bit more.

Mr. Gay Eclipse rum over some crushed ice. Trying to hang onto summer.

I’m having a pour of Eagle Rare. Enjoying a peaceful evening on the porch as the rain provides a gentle backbeat.

I’m having a pour of Col. E.H. Taylor to start my evening.
Have a great weekend everyone. Cheers!

With a smoky Islay Scotch I prefer an English blend.

Gin and tonics before dinner ?

I’m having a pour of Rowan’s Creek with my son this evening.
He was able to find some in D.C. and brought 2 more bottles with him. He’s a good boy!
