Looking forward to this! Jim runs a great dinner. I attended the 2005 Mardi Gras Cigar Dinner in Rocky Hill. A great time, a big raffle, and great food. Black Eyed Sally's has AMAZING food too. Any event where you can get together under a roof and smoke is very rare in Connecticut. I couldn't...

It was a while ago, but I'm going to say it took about a month after I registered on-line.

I'm an Islay guy through and through. The smoke, salt, iodine and peat reek are what I look for in a Scotch. Of the 15 or so bottles I have in my cabinet, 10 are from Islay with a few being Islay malts finished elsewhere by independent bottlers. I also have a Talisker in there too which with its...

Spellbound is an amazing smoke when you have two hours to kill.

No Coke, Pepsi. Bacardi Añejo.

No it's not cheep looking, but it won't illicit "OOHS and AHHS" when you whip it out. It's brushed aluminum. Here's a pic I found on ebay. I'm pretty sure this is it.

I got the flask. It's REALLY small, probably 2-3 ounces max. It has the Glenfiddich logo stamped into it, and you can't beat the price!

This is a great summer Scotch and a nice diversion from the heavy peaty Islays that dominate my liqour cabinet. Aroma: Sweet - caramel and chocolate. With a slight smoky undertone. Flavor: Again sweet but not sickly sweet. Vanilla (oak), chocolate and a little honey. Floral notes. Finish...

I friend brought this over one night and I decided to taste it before lighting up in order to be sure the tastebuds were fresh. We were both unimpressed. I kept getting an aftertaste that was very much like Tequila. We tried it again some weeks later and had the same result.

I looked to see if you had done a review on the 14. Heard a lot of good things about the 12 too. I usually try not to smoke when I taste a Scotch for the first time and I was smoking when I tried the Scapa 14. I won't abandon it yet, but my first impressions were disappointing. then I'll send...

Looking to try something new, I picked up a bottle of this last week and was completely underwhelmed by it. I was hoping for a some of the intense heather-honey characteristics of Scapa's northern neighbor, Highland Park, and possibly some of the maritime characteristics of Island Scotches I...

On Friday I picked up a 6 of this from Clipper City Brewing. An ale with Magnum, Centennial, Chinook, Amarillo and Palisade hops. It boasts 3 lbs of hops per barrel! The hops are extremely well balanced and it doesn't blow your head off. It also has a slightly fruity (plum?) aftertaste...

Me too! My pleasure.

I received a reply to my letter asking about their suggestions thoughts on our talk about lead crystal. =============== Dear Mr. Summa: We are very pleased to hear that you are enjoying your Riedel Single Malt Whiskey glasses, and hope that you will continue to do so. The study by Dr...

:p Not a chance! Haven't heard back from Riedel yet. :whistling:
