Shared some 10 year old Glenmorangie with good friends over the weekend, and ended tonight with a nice pour of Cody Road Rye.

That is one of my all time favourite rums! Fantastic choice!

I'm diving into my first single malt ever...I'm pairing it with something special.

Some Balvenie 14-year Caribbean Cask that my wife got me for Christmas.

James tell me what you think of that I've been wanting to pull the trigger on the Carribean cask for a while now.

The other day I bought a holiday gift package of The Glenlivet. Brought the 375 ml bottle of 12 year to an XMas party that I split with some friends. The 2 airplane bottles of 15 and 18 year old I kept at my house!

It's definitely worth a try if you enjoy some of the Balvenie's other offerings; the predominant note is vanilla. But I think the 12-year Double Wood has more complexity and depth of flavor. And I'd say the same for the 15-year Single Cask. If the 14-year and the 15-year are sitting side by side, take the 15.

My local liquor store got some Donegal Estate Irish Whiskey in so I grabbed a bottle to give it a try. It's not too shabby, but it's not going knock off Jameson as my go-to Irish. It brings to mind a slightly more complex Powers. I do love the label, though; very classic.

My new favorite beer boys and girls, if you can get it you oughta.

Marshal Brewing El Cucuy

I normally do not care for citrusy flavors in beers. I normally do not care for exceedingly heavy dark bitter flavors in beers. That said those would be the dominant characteristics of this beer but they are so refined (the heavy dark bitter flavor is not actually bitter) and paired well that it's a miracle of a tastey bev.

After that glowing review I'm sure you'll hate it

Coworker got me a bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed for Christmas. I've never had anything from Wild Turkey but man, this stuff is a great bourbon.

Following a glass of that up with a glass of Zaya Rum which has been my go to plan for the past few weeks. Glass of bourbon and a glass of rum for "dessert"

Evening of fine libations. Started with some Cody Road Rye, a bit of Wild Turkey Rare Breed (very impressed by this, got it as a christmas gift) and finishing up with Zaya 12 year rum.

Had Kraken rum on the rocks last night, been seeing a lot of people talking about drinking rum and saw it at my brother in laws and thought why not?, and while it wasn't bad, I'm def not a rum guy and won't be doing that again. When I came home I had Tullamore Dew 10 (aged in 4 different oak barrels) and for $30-$35 I must say this is becoming my go to and smokes most $40-$50 whiskies!! Smooth, Sweet, I need another bottle here's a pic of when I first opened it!

Back to basics tonight with some Jim Beam White label. It's what started me on bourbon, what gets poured at any and all family gatherings, and if I'm honest, what I always fall back on.

There are lots of gins that are quite tasty on the rocks. For a lot of people, a gin martini is nothing but chilled gin. I prefer the more traditional cocktail. With vermouth or even Japanese sake.

I can't imagine the Barr Hill in a martini or G&T. Juniper and honey are the two primary botanicals. (Not really sure if honey qualifies as a botanical). Very tasty on its own. Almost like an aperitif.

pnoon 01-17-2015 05:34 PM

Re: What beer or liquor are you drinking right now?
 
So the Barr Hill bottle is kaput.
Moving on to Amador Distillery gin. A bottle gifted to me by my friend and brother Adam (T.G). This gin is quite unique. Golden in color which I assume the from a barrel. The flavor has a very delicate spearmint componenent. Or it could be licorice. I've never been good at identifying favors.

That being said, this is not a gin for mixing but like the Barr Hill it is quite delicious on its own.

Time to start prepping dinner - chicken, pesto, and three cheese pizza on home made dough.

Life is good. :)
