Love the Midwinters Night Dram. On the expensive side, but a truly great pour!

Picked this up this evening. 103 proof. It is spicy - but a damn good spicy (very nice warmth). Not always a fan of full proof - but this was definitely worth it!

The one photo that I took of the column at the Acropolis was fascinating for me. A hand carved intricate ornamental filigree at the top of the column just blew me away! That is some amazing craftsmanship at a time we'd think something that detailed would have been very difficult. I think...

Our day in Chania, Crete (Greece)... The botanical garden was amazing - apparently a very rare occurrence on our planet where three micro-climates converge in one place. Well worth the visit if you're in the area!

Just returned from a Mediterranean cruise - and some photos from my trip to the Acropolis. Was a hell of a walk up the mountain, but holy cow - the views!!!

Last fall we did a southern Caribbean cruise. I have a much deeper appreciation for the rums - especially small batch - after that trip. What sucked was most of what we tasted was only locally sourced - meaning there was no way in hell I was going to be able to follow up on another bottle at...

Completely concur in the tasting notes! Was lucky enough to find it on clearance for $30! Definitely a great find. Will be sipping on this in the backyard during the coming motnhs.

I honestly thought while it's good there are others that are better. Very, very hyped in our area for a time - very hard to find. People went way too crazy over it. Now I find it pretty much everywhere in stores and on tap in local pubs (love it on tap versus can/bottle). I actually prefer...

At our local Binny's (north of Chicago) I found the Warsprite (straight malt whiskey) and their Wight Vvitch Gin. I saw empty shelf signs for their Bloodforge (Bourbon) and Bubblegum head (Bottle in Bond Malt Whiskey). Would love to try the Bloodforge - knowing the edginess of Three Floyds. I...

Went ahead and broke it open. Went through hell to get it (had to buy three other bottles of booze in a package to get this). One of my favorites!

Always worried about whiskeys like this - seems to be gimmicky. But - a very nice malt whiskey (scotch like). A nice toasty oakiness and a great long warm finish. Not bad for the price! Well made.

Thank you for the compliment! I've been trying to better improve my photos - so I do appreciate some appreciation I'm doing at least a passible job! As far as submitting it for publication - I did that a few times, and have only been published once (though I've had several pictures appear on...

They're back!!! 4th year we've seen the European Goldfinches. And yesterday there were four at the feeders!

It’s a good night! Cheers!

A friend brought it back from Mexico. Can’t wait to give it a try! UPDATE: Poured myself a glass the other night - neat - and it is as smooth as silk. Very nice agave notes, without the heavy fire of regular unaged blanco tequilas. Not like an aged tequila with the smoky notes, but it is a...

I’m a fan!!!

I really liked the earlier versions of the Dalmore Cigar Malts. They stopped producing it for a short time, and re-introduced it with a bit of a different blend. It’s still very good, but I did like the earlier version much better. I personally am a huge King Alexander fan - but the price is...

Don’t mind the red circle, but here’s a list of the 10 Four Roses recipes to help you better understand how it might taste.

Great find and a great pour!
