What Are You Drinking? June 2025

Just had a bagel with cream cheese and lox, and some cake—following that up with some Lipton tea with half and half.

There were some great finishes on the UFC card; it was disappointing that the main event between Erin Blanchfield and Maycee Barber got cancelled right before the walkouts due to a medical issue.

Getting the weekend started with a pour of Little Book Chapter 08: Path Not Taken. I guess it’s technically a bourye but it has all the classic rye notes that I love.

Cheers!

94 degrees 90% humidity nothing better than an ice cold Frosties.

Getting ready for the UFC 316 Main Card. I picked this up in New Jersey for our UFC weekend. Having Four Roses Single Barrel, Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Bourbon Street Barrel Select (Barrel #14, OESF Mash Bill, Aged 11 Years, 6 Months, 53.3%).

I neglected to take a picture, but tonight my wife and I had Last Words. It's one of our top favorite drinks, and I enjoy tweaking it in various directions to see what sucks, or what could be our next go-to recipe. Tonight's involved fresh lime juice, Luxardo liqueur, Luxardo Del Santo (their attempt at a Green Chartreuse substitute), and Hendrick's Grand Cabaret gin. That gin includes stone fruit flavors, so you have to be ready for your drink to take a slightly fruity turn. They were delicious!

Our hotel in Puerto Vallarta just happens to have an upscale German restaurant in it:

I thought the message was that it only feels expensive if don´t have enough money

Afternoon tea yesterday courtesy of a very generous mate
All out of half bottles



1). “Believed to be” 1953 Ch. Petrus
Very full bodied ??chapitalised
Faded after an hour
2). 1960 Ch. Lafite - the lightest colour and body but beautiful, ethereal flavour. My favourite.
3). 1970 Ch. Mouton Rothchild - on song. Fully deserved its elevation to Premier Cru status in 1973
4). 1962 Ch. Nenin - nice wine but spoiled by an odd faecal note. I was told that it cleaned up after a while, but couldn’t bring myself to have another mouthful. Pity

Best wine ?
A tie - 2 votes each for the 1960 Lafite and the 1970 Mouton
