Kraken dark rum with two ice cubes. If I wasn’t so lazy I’d go out and buy some good ginger beer to mix with it. If I wasn’t so damn frugal, I’d get some Barbencourt Haitian rum too.
I only enjoy that in the winter….. it just doesn’t taste as good in the warmer months for me….. but I love it all the same! ?
Eel River Brewing Co. Organic Blonde Ale. A nice Whole Foods pickup last week, just getting around to trying it this evening. Tasty stuff, I'd definitely get it again.
Arctic Blue Gin with Tonic and blueberries. Probably the best gin I’ve ever tasted, it also goes well as neat. Had that blueberry GT as a cigar-avec yesterday.
My favorite! But on occasion I’ve bought White Horse scotch since it contains some Lagavulin in the blend, cheap bastard that I am.
I had to copy those refreshing looking gin & tonic beverages
Russell’s Reserve 13 year Barrel Proof. I picked this up last weekend, had a couple pours, and wasn’t blown away. It has an amazing nose. I was hit with a waft Wrigley’s Juicy Fruit gum. It‘s sweet and creamy up front, but once it hits the back of the palate, it’s pepper and barrel straight through the (bitter) finish….. and nothing else ….. and it lingers.
I did have Covid a couple of weeks before, so that could have skewed my tastebuds. I’m giving it another try tonight. Being a Wild Turkey fan, I really want to love this. Still holding out hope. Cheers!

Angels envy rye and Eileens dream in a fantastic Peterson Irish second Why it is a second i dont know other than it seems drilled a bit too high it’s a great smoker for me
After seven plus hours on the road, we finally made it to Montreal. Going to have Ardbeg Wee Beastie that we picked up in Saratoga along the way. We also found Dickel Bourbon, which I haven't been able to find in New York or Pennsylvania.
Just plain old bottled Arrowhead water for me.
Honestly, being a Turkey fan as well, Rare Breed has alway struck the right notes for me. The Russell releases not so much. Here’s hoping it was just the rona though ??
A Mega Pint Old Fashioned with Wild Turkey and both Habanero and Chocolate Bitters
Johnnie Walker Red on the rocks, with my small bowl of Rouxgaroux. I like this one much better than the JW Black...I find the smoky note of the Black nice, but the Red is much better for mixed drinks like a Whiskey Sour.
