The Watering Hole.

I heard a Minister say once when ask how to deal with stupid.

"Save your money and buy good Whisky".

 

My Doctor asked me if I drink.

"Sure", I say.

"Do you ever get headaches"?

"Once in awhile".

"Buy better Whiskey".

 

Who am I to argue with professionals?

 

Woodford Reserve Double Oaked

Weller Reserve (Green Label)

 

What's your favorite?

My preferred is Myers Dark Jamaican Rum...…….But any Dark will do, Lemon Hart, Lambs etc. I have a prized bottle of Bundaburg Dark Rum from Australia.

Years ago I had a gal pal that went to the island twice a year. Always brought me back a bottle of Jamaican 191. I could never tell when that girl was mad at me or trying to take advantage.  Whiskey man now.

Flavored whiskey or brandy, mostly neat. I like margaritas too. The waistline doesn’t.

I guess I must have been a Pirate in a previous life.

Recently tried Hotel Tango. First US combat wounded veteran owned distillery in the world. Smooth and delicious!

When I was a drinker, for whiskey it was Canadian Windsor.

So I'm trying a nice Evan Williams Single Barrel last night killing a few hours and this Black Widow Spider started chatting me up. 

 

I let her ramble for an hour or so. She seemed a nice sort. At least she is still employed. 

 

Think she said she was a Web Designer.

We might have to amalgamate this thread with the Coronavirus one. There are some guys on there that sound like they could use a drink...…….or two! lol

Or maybe had a dozen already.

I tired to make hand sanitizer today. Came out Jello Shots. They said 1/3 alcohol and 2/3 Aloe. Did they mean something other than Jack Daniels?

Ever read these whiskey review sites? http://whiskyadvocate.com/

 

There are dozens but that one is easy to navigate and has allot of reviews. It's the tasters the amuse me. Laugh my butt off reading them. I suppose it's like perfume people. One in a hundred million people actually could tell the difference. Less would actually care. Most go, hu????

 

In my early 20's, a long time ago, a close friend and wine maker in his 70's then gave me a two minute run down on wine. "Selection is simple", he said, "Drink it and if you like it, it's a good one". He added, "Anything past that is snobbery". 

 

A 46 year old Bowmore $13,500 single malt. Bottled in 1964 there are but 8 bottles in the USA. Imagine spending that sort of money, pouring a glass. Then.....meh! Then....a $12 bottle of Evan Williams black label and hummmmmm. I see why it's on the shelf of every dive in America.

Had my second bottle of Weller Reserve (green label)

Meh!

Disappointing. 

How could two bottles be so different?
