Lately I've been trying and stocking some new liquors. Thanks to Ralfy's channel, hahahahahahahahaah and the fantastic wineries I see here on the forum. I'm not so lucky to get a bottle of Old Forester, they don't sell it in Europe, I was looking on amazon and there is nothing.View attachment 168234View attachment 168235View attachment 168236

Ah, so THAT'S where all the Capstan Gold went!

Another beer at lunch. Forget to show earlier. Another beer at lunch. Forget to show earlier. Too hot even at this time of year to drink wine. I don't have air conditioning at home at the moment.

Take another one of these, here in the glass you can see the amber color of the beer. It is curious, they add sugar. 10.5% alcohol. The pizza will help me not to fall round in bed.View attachment 168386

The sugar thins the body of the beer and actually makes it less sweet than just malt. Adds more alcohol too. Such a great beer. I'm very jealous!

IronMonkey, are you alive? Lol, that’s quite the bomber parade. I’m drinking Guinness Extra. It’s good, but I like the normal one and the Foreign Stout better. And the coffee one was great too. Getting a lot of licorice and molasses notes on this version…

 

[TheIronMonkey]

LOL, still alive, thanks! We were splitting them three ways, so, nothing to worry about.

Now having Son of a Peat, the Redeemer, Blended Malt Scotch Whisky, Cask Strength, Batch 3 Limited Edition (53.8%) for Flaviar and a Camacho Triple Maduro (6" x 60) Cigar.

 

[TheIronMonkey]

Having Ole Smokey Blackberry Moonshine.

Hanlons 'Port Stout'.
If the houses of Sobranie, Wills, Ogdens & Players joined forces & decided to brew a stout, it would probably taste as good as this one. Outstanding drop, simply outstanding!

 

[Scottishgaucho]

On the cheap Argentime whisky again....love it.

 

[warren99]

Bundaberg sparkling guava.

Next up, Kilchoman Madeira Cask Matured Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch, distilled in May 2016 and filled into 46 fresh Madeira Hogsheads for over 5 years. Wasabi is playing with his favourite toy, a loosely stuffed raccoon.

This one sounds very interesting

We love all of Kilchoman’s releases. The special and one off ones are often very interesting. This one is worth checking out. It seems less peated than others, is smooth and has sweet wine notes from the Madeira casks.

That’s what I interests me. Peat and Madeira - two great tastes that I’m pretty sure probably taste great together.

Have you had the Laphroaig aged in Pedro Ximenez (PX) Sherry casks? You’d probably enjoy that quite a bit. I think it used to be a Travel Exclusive in duty free shops, but, I seem to recall it being more widely available in the recent past.

 

[LotusEater]

Thanks for the tip
I’ve got a pretty good purveyor of fine whiskeys near me so I’ll see if they can get the Laphroaig aged in Pedro Ximenez (PX) Sherry casks.

I am a big fan of Islays and other peated whiskeys but recently I have turned more towards bourbons because sadly none of my friends appreciate peated whiskey
