Picked up some beer for the cellar and some to drink.
Picked up a batch of more affordable scotches. Looking for an everyday drink that satisfies. I have some great bottles, but sipping them everyday gets expensive!
Two fresh kegs! Kolsch on the right, Hefeweizen on the left. Bring on the brats!
The Naked Grouse is a very nice Sherry forward blended Scotch. Yet for the same amount of money (at least where I live) you can get The Famous Grouse 12 Blended (Vatted) MALT! It has a more flavorful taste profile than the original Famous Grouse Blend (no grain spirit) AND has a higher percentage of Islays than than the Naked Grouse variant.
I’ll look for it! Thanks
Grabbed this glass from the dollar store the other day.
Bottle of Weller 107 acquired through an incentive program. Waiting for Pappy stuff to be offered.
Cutty Sark brings back memories and not good ones. In college my father gave me a bottle to take back to school with me. i was new to drinking and this may be the last Scotch I ever drank. Ghastly tasting to me. From then on it was Bourbon.
It's always funny how we can never get past some mistakes.
I was like that with Gin for about 30yrs. When my best friend turned 16 his dad bought him a handle bottle of what was probably the cheapest Gin he could find (He wasn’t the best role model). 5 of us 15-17yr olds mixed it with OJ and killed the entire bottle in about 4hrs. Until just recently just the Juniper smell of Gin would make me nauseous. I can drink Gin in a GT and a few other mixed drinks, but Martinis still are a no go.It's always funny how we can never get past some mistakes.
Sweet gift box of mini’s. Will add to my emergency go bag!
The Laird twins (2021 edition) arrived recently. Always a welcome addition to the whisky closet!

Picked up some stuff for the cellar.
Local place had a couple of bottles that are near impossible to find around here. They were on sale as well.
Went to one of the more upscale liquor stores in the area, Kahn's. Walked out with some old favorites I haven't had in a long time. Never had the nitro version of Southern Tier's Creme Brûlée, but, the regular version I remember liking a lot. The Evil Twin was at the time my favorite imperial stout. Redbreast always hits the spot.
Extending my Ardbeg collection.
Pretty happy to walk away with both of these for under $70 with tax.
The Jefferson's Reserve Tends to be $50-$55 here. I don't love it at that price, but for $38 I'll take it!
I've been meaning to try toast. How is it?
All of their stuff is great but St Bernardus 12 is one of my favorite beers ever.
Haven’t had a chance to try the toast yet. I’ve heard good things. It started getting scarce around here so I bought a bottle when I saw it. I really enjoy the 12 as well.
