There’s also a new Laphroaig Càirdeas 2021 that was aged in PX—that might be more readily available as it was released pretty recently—I haven’t had that yet.

So nice to have a smoke again after a couple of months off.
My mate Doug came over to join in having a couple of bowls.
Nonino Amaro Quintessentia with soda and slice of mandarin 1st up.
Followed by another amaro - Montenegro. With soda.

Going to have a 2022 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Trocken GG, some truffle cheese, and Swiss chocolate that Susan's sister and brother-in-law got for us on their European cruise—while we watch UFC.
Well this picture from the other night. Smoking a Toscano Classico. I know what you are thinking, yes I am drinking and stinking up the living room. My wife went on vacation to see her parents in Galicia. ![IMG_4973[5652].jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/169/169956-40cde820cf3d11ecb1767aa9ab7655a2.jpg "IMG_4973[5652].jpg")
I don’t drink alcohol, friend of Bill W for 32 years, but am visiting my daughter and my son in law has these two bottles on his bar. The Dingle he bought in Dingle, Ireland and the Hibiscus in Greece. I’m drinking black coffee at the moment
A few hours ago. I was drinking a small glass of Pikesville. I've never tried it before, I like these rye ones. ![IMG_5001[5655].jpg](https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/data/attachments/170/170026-0ecada4d548ff3ca4e8c033f417cc022.jpg "IMG_5001[5655].jpg")
Feeling blue.....
A solemn day here with the old queen's funeral. Sinking a few & smoking rum twist.

Lately I've been going back a little more to whiskey, and some bourbon. I've been drinking in stages, some more, some not at all. I have not been much of a bourbon fan, and more of a whiskey fan, and now I am getting more into whiskey. I am now trying several tastings of woodford double oaked, and I get a lot of alcoholic aroma and enamel, then spicy, rough, and vaguely cereal, sherry, oak or wood, cooked fruit, sweet, caramel. But I don't know if it is that with the covid I have lost something in nose and taste, or that this distillate is not as tasty as I thought. I have been a regular consumer of brandy since the 90s. However with whiskey I do get better results, for example with Pikesville, of course, this is not bourbon. The only bourbon I remember tasting was jack daniels in the 90s. I don't even want to think that they can sneak me some fake distillate, I bought them all on amazon, it's the only way to buy drinks from the USA, which are not sold here in Spain. 
I began drinking beer again after years of never drinking it. I am not a big fan of it but it helps me to piss. I have kidney problems and believe it or not beer helps. My son brings it home and he is on a Modelo run and with a lime it isn't half bad. You all know the saying when it is clear you know it is beer, it makes me piss clear along with a lot of water. The water alone won't do it.
I still will drink my Grey Goose once a week or so when I want to get real buzzed. I have drank Goose forever as I am of Russian heritage and Vodka is my number one drink. I like Vodka Gimlets, Vodka and diet tonic with Lemons or Limes and Vodka and Cranberry.
I love Gin and tonics but Gin gives me a wicked hangover which the Goose never does. Does anyone know of a good Gin that is hangover proof, price is not a big deal.

What did you think of the brettanomyces? It's an acquired taste.
I have always loved brett beers. Particularly saisons and wits. Brett saisons (or saisons in general) are also a finnicky beer to brew (as you probably know) so a job well done is admirable. The one I’m enjoying tonight is also great.
I've only brewed a couple Brett beers. I leave it to the pros! Glad you enjoyed it. A well-brewed Brett beer is magic!
I only ever brewed a handful as well. I was always too scared of infecting my other stuff, hahaha. But yeah, that flavor profile is unlike anything else. Fell in love with it right away around 2007 or so. Hard to believe they were actually tough to find in those days!
Now you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting some kinda wild ale.
The first time I Googled "brettanomyces pellicle" I was horrified. That's not what you ever want to see in your fermenter. Unless you meant to.
hahaha, yeah the pellicle is a thing of beauty if you know what to expect. To the layman’s eyes it’s pretty horrifyingThe first time I Googled "brettanomyces pellicle" I was horrified. That's not what you ever want to see in your fermenter. Unless you meant to.
