The Balvenie tonight. I felt fancy.
Actually a couple of days' break is not a bad thing. 2 of us in the office have birthdays within a few days this month so 4 of us are going out to a wine bar. A Thai, an Indonesian, a Korean and a Brit walk into a wine bar... must be a joke in there somewhereInteresting. No alcohol restrictions were mentioned on my end. I can tell you based on my sample size of 2, alcohol consumption provided no known side effects. Perhaps it's just the same BS they give regarding no consumption after giving blood. I always tell them they're no fun and that it's more efficient that way.
PS: Drink responsibly. Maybe, in this specific scenario, in your own home as well.
Also, it was Turkey Tuesday last night (though in fairness, I spent most of the evening thinking it was Wednesday...). WT101. I'm challenging myself to include my awful tasting notes on these as well. This one has a nice color (that's not a taste!), but feels a bit thinner than I expect. I get a lot of pepper and a hint of caramel on the palette. It's not as sweet as many of the other bourbons I've had recently. Finish is pretty enjoyable. I won't be turning down pours of this one, though not sure it'll be a frequent purchase either.
Sazerac rye, neat
Picked up a small bottle of Benedictine at Total Wine today to try a Vieux Carre cocktail. Since I enjoy Manhattans, it seemed like a good choice. I liked the drink very much but would probably pull back a bit on the Benedictine or use half and half of dry and sweet vermouth to cut the sweetness a little.
Back in college, we always tried to donate blood on Tuesday. The college rathskeller (yes, there used to be such a thing) always had Two-fer Tuesdays so when the Red Cross volunteer advised us to double our fluid intake, we gladly complied!Interesting.

Proper hydration is so important.
Perfection in simplicity. Bombay Sapphire martini.
First (lifetime?!) bottle of Crème de Violette.
Tonight is for smoke and peat -- Kilchoman STR Cask Matured (2019) edition. Yum.
What kind of cookies? Please DON'T say Orios... The thought of Orios with WT101 kinda turns the stomach
Chocolate Chip or Oatmeal... Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies sound even better!
Beautiful presentation! The Aviation is a great cocktail. I, too, am on my first lifetime bottle of Creme de Violette but bottle number two is coming up quickly.
Plantation XO rum tonight.
Thanks! I think I’ll add a touch more Violette next Aviation. I’m going to order one out tonight and compare…
This one is with Beefeater. I definitely need a bit more Crème de Violette!
Another. Cynar Manhattan with Rittenhouse. Unfortunately, better than any I have made.
Sazerac is the default drink around here.
Vago mezcal. Extraordinary stuff. Even good blanco Tequila seems really boring once you've had this.
