I consumed a margarita as large as a fish bowl earlier this evening while out celebrating a family member’s birthday. Now it‘s bourbon time. Henry McKenna 10 year bottled in bond as the tipple this evening. Cheers!

For years I've been promising myself a bottle of Walter Hicks Rum, matured (7 years) here in Cornwall though made in Guyana. What held me back was the scary price....but I bit the bullet last week and ordered one and it just this moment arrived.
I shouldn't expect it is found in the States but here is the info on it. At 71.4% ABV that calculates as 125% proof over here but 143% proof in the States. This I think will be the strongest spirit I've had. My usual choice of rum is Woods Rum (57% ABV), also made in Guyana but aged in Scotland of all places!
Anyway, I just popped the lid and took a tiny sip.....fiery for sure, but very nice. Will have a full measure at 10pm.....with a splash of water
Already invited my neighbour round for a taster.....told him to bring along his smallest thimble
Regards,
Jay.

I’m having a pour of Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye. Cheers!
The cheap stuff. If it isn't from Costco, then House of Stuart!
Most of you guys are into the good stuff, but some of us old farts just want the buzz!

Canada House whiskey (the hoose) and Ten High bourbon get the job done.
I approve of this message.
