Finishing up an ounce or two of McClellands Islay Scotch and headed towards a Red Oak bavarian amber lager. :D

Drinking some West Coast Pale Ale from the first batch of my Mr Beer kit. Heck, I think a lot of us got one of these for Christmas! First bottle was fair - good taste but a little flat. After a little more time and some cold conditioning for about 5 days, its a different beer. Its pretty...

I guess I mean a finger thickness depth of whisky or bourbon, etc. Some fingers is fatter than others.......... :D

Here in NC, the naysayers all said there would be blood in the streets when they passed the CCW law years ago. Didn't happen of course. Now that we have had a change of the legislature here, there will be a chance to upgrade the law to allow more latitude to the carriers and a chance to pass...

Got the same thing for Christmas too. My first batch is in the carbonating stage right now. Gonna put it in the fridge to cold condition it and give it a whirl. Next one will be the nut brown ale. Just getting started so if this works I may be hooked because as simple as it was, i enjoyed...

I usually find myself pouring just under two fingers in my favorite glass. I guess thats almost two ounces, give or take a little :whistling: And like others have said, it depends on the day. Today was a cold one and its snowing nice outside. Probably will stay home in the morning and do...

Having some McClellands Islay tonite - easy light peat with maybe a hint of smoke in it. Not too complex and not harsh. Decent for the price. Tasted some Ardbeg earlier today with my son-in-law. Now that was a complex peaty, smokey dram. He didn't like it when he first opened it but today...

Glad you posted this. I had not seen this - haven't been looking at tequila too much lately. I had opportunity to sample this with my brother at Christmas. It was great tequila - interesting flavors and aromas. He picked his up with part of his Christmas bonus so I shared my Macallan with...

Ha Ha - yeah. Not all glasses are created equal. :D

Hey folks. A newbie question for you. My wife and I were debating on how much volume a drink is. She is a non-drinker but doesn't mind me drinking. I made a comment about having a drink of scotch and she asked "Just how much is in a drink to you"? I have heard others say they're getting "a...
