I'm very keen on Cotswold Single Malt, which the aficionados of malts get well sniffy about. I've consumed many bottles of malt whiskey - Springbank 10 at £15 quid a bottle (30 years ago) became favorite; saw a bottle of that not long ago with a £600 asking price. So I was prepared to be a bit skeptical of youthful Cotswold (46% ABV), turns out to be really nice. £45 a bottle. Recommended.

I find people that are true whisky enthusiasts are not sniffy about Cotswold Single Malt. It is presented at 46% abv, non chill filtered and natural colour, which is what we are after. I enjoy it and have seen favourable reviews of it on YouTube channels I follow.
Another night of Jameson Black Barrel and sugarless Pepsi. Now playing "Black Coffee In Bed" by Squeeze.
Am I the only person drinking? Third pint of Jameson Black Barrel and Sugar free Pepsi. Listening to Dire Straits. Finished second book of "3 Body Problem".
Bell's IPA. One of the best beers available at my gas station and an amazing IPA.
Two Hearted? I'm not a fan of most IPAs, but it's my gold standard.
Avery Old Jubilation. Old Ales are my favorite style of beer.
Having a lovely glass of Sandeman 20 year Tawny Port, thinking about opening a tin.
The weather has turned unseasonably warm and, instead of scotch or rye, Ib have been enjoying Plantation Stiggins Fancy pineapple infused rum. This is a dark rum which is finished with a particular pineapple. It is not a standard flavored rum but, rather, a very smooth rum with pineapple on the nose and very delicately on the palate.
On a bottle of 16 yr Bull Run light Whiskey finished in Pinot barrels. Mmmm
I have a Four Roses Single Barrel BP pick for tonight!
Since we have already reached daytime temps in the low 90f in SE Louisiana, I have tapered off from my usual sipping whiskey and rums and have started drinking lighter more refreshing things like good Gin & Tonics and my own version of Ranchwater - just tequila and a good mineral water. Haven't been a big vodka drinker in years but recently picked up a bottle of Stoli Cucumber vodka and made a vodka tonic with it and a sprig of mint.
Damn refreshing and went well with the English blend I was smoking.

Barqs root beer with some buffalo trace cream
That Vodka tonic does sound refreshing...I think I'll whip up a little something. It's a pretty humid day here, and that sounds just fine.
Yeti Imperial Stout, paired with homemade cheesecake. I love Imperial Stouts, and this is one of my favorites.
I have the day off tomorrow, so I'm celebrating with a glass of sherry, Harvey's Bristol Cream. And after dinner, iffen I remember it, a glass of rum.
