Third Black Bush and Dr. Pepper Cream Soda. Next one will polish out the whiskey. Too bad the liquor store down south closes so early. Looking at the bright side, I got beers in the ice box!
Elijah Craig small batch. Dipped a couple pipe cleaners in it to clean the pipes as well. 
I haven't had Dickel bourbon in awhile. But I do have an old George Dickel Sour Mash Whisky bottle shaped like a powder horn. I guess they made this shape back in the 60s (looks cool to me) and you can see it used as prop on Star Trek TOS for their Saurian Brandy, The Enemy Within.

We spent the last few days at Parents Weekend at the U of Dayton. Enjoyed a somewhat local beer from Cincinnati. Rhinegeist Franz. Pretty good Oktoberfest in a great environment.
Having been content for years with my PG Tips and Yorkshire teas (with the occasional Earl Grey & Lady Grey) I ordered two teas from my past just to see how they tasted after many years absence.
Well my first was Twining's Assam tea. I'd forgotten how slightly dry it tasted albeit with a gentle maltiness to it. Very nice, 4/5.

My youngest son left a few bottles of Irish Ale named Smithwick’s in my fridge and tonight I popped one and drank it.
Oh my these are good. They remind me of Falstaff and Schlitz from many, many years ago, before light beer was sold in the Ozarks.

No wonder the old timers used to say St Patrick’s Day was just another excuse for the Irish to drink more beer.

Today my tea is another Twining's effort, this time 'English Strong Breakfast' tea. If I'm honest, I can barely tell the difference twixt this one and the Assam of yesterday.
No surprise then that I read the main component is Assam tea....blended with an un-named Kenyan variety. 4/5 again.

Shared some Barrel Craft Vantage with an old friend last night, I have yet to have a Barrel Craft that was not great.

Krupnik honey liqueur in a hot apple cider. I discovered krupnik this summer and eagerly awaited a cool evening to try it in a hot cider, and I’m happy to report my expectations were surpassed! I haven’t the faintest idea what else this sweet and heavily spiced booze might go with, but this is a very fine and fall appropriate start.
High life ponies after some Jameson and pickle backs followed by excellent bubbles. This started much earlier in the evening…
Some Black Bush with sugar free Pepsi with mango. Only on second pint. Need something to attend to in the morning, so can't really go the extra mile.
Well said HRPPufnstuf.Anything is better when shared with an old friend,
