Guys I live in the total boondocks of the Northwoods of WI. Our bars suck. They're the stereotype of what you'd imagine of boondocks Northwoods WI bars. I just got back from one having had some new WI made bourbon. It was pretty good for being a WI made bourbon. I don't know what it was. I didn't note the name or take a pic. I failed you. Will report back if I ever know what I feel this way from.
A handful of x per year some gets sent to Philly. Along with their other, even better IPA IMO, Focal Banger. I try to pick up a 4-pack 1x/2x a year. Some good alpha oil content in them.
Yesterday I had an old Fashion made with Weller green bottle. My brother in law made them very stiff! Today I am sampling some of the Stagg barrel strength he gifted me. It has 23c on it. 126ish proof!
Quite a bit this week with the family in town/around. Elmer T Lee, Balvenie 21, Lismore 18, Redbreast 15, MacAllan 12 Double Oak, Powers JL, Glenfiddich 12 Sherry, Yellowstone 93 proof. Merry Christmas!
Mezcal kind of night, enjoying some chino verde juice.
Local beer. First time with this one. No idea what a Scottish Ale is supposed to taste like, but hey, it's pretty good. 
Scot
ch Ales are great, malty, winter warmers and just had a few bottles of Bells Christmas ale the other night. Cheers!
Cheers!
I now live in WI but when I lived in PA I visited a couple of ABC's locations -- Lititz and Gettysburg. Their root beer (NA) is in my top three rootbeers ever.
I've had Jolly Scot a couple times. Enjoy!
10 out of 10.
Wish I could pop into a pub and have this whenever I wanted.
Celebrating the end of a long and difficult year:
I enjoy good whiskey, mostly scotch and rye. I do not usually like any kind of flavored whiskeys but recently bought a bottle of Dough Ball a cookie dough flavored whiskey. 70 proof. I was doubtful but it is surprisingly delicious. It is not so sweet that it is cloying. It even has a back end chocolate note. Not an everyday drink but a couple of fingers after a meal is very enjoyable.
Yesterday was my 62nd birthday so my nightly tipple had to be something a bit different.
A couple of years ago I bought a few bottles of 'American Eagle Tennessee Whiskey' aged 8, 10 & 12 years. Actually it is rebadged George Dickel sold exclusively over here.
So last night I popped my penultimate bottle of 12 year old and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very unlike any other American whiskey I've tried being slightly 'nutty', very noticeable in the 10 & 12 but not so much in the 8.
Nice looking bottle but it's a real pig to pour from!
