That word problem did make my brain stutter for a bit..

I was going to get a nice Scotty single malt when I noticed a Japanese brand called Yamazaki. Not smokey or peaty at all, very clean tasting with even a touch of fruity finish. Quite good for $45, but I will be going back to a good peat/tar/smoke bottle next time.

Field Of Dreams Absinthe. Guy I know makes this on his wine farm as a side project. If there's a more effective liquid panty remover in existence, I've never (ahem) come across it.

Don't get too caught up on price right away; there is an abundance of great small-batch bourbons in the $25-50 range. I would recommend anything released by the Buffalo Trace and Four Roses distilleri

Eagle Rare 17. One of my New Year's resolutions is to drink more bourbon.

So ,stretch given the Dutchy influence over there I would have thought it'd be beer heaven over there?

Eagle Rare is a phenomenal value. I've been drinking some Indiana bourbons/ryes lately. Novel for a Hoosier, but haven't found anything terribly interesting.

I've been brewing a bunch of lagers lately, and the first of those is just getting to be ready, so I had a couple of those over the weekend. It's a Vienna lager, which is the style that Negra Modelo is modeled after (or, at least, once was). It's pretty good, with some out-of-style hop flavor that makes it interesting. (No sense brewing something yourself that you could just go out and buy!)

It's a little lonely writing about a drink that no one else here can experience. Ah well... if anyone passes through West Lafayette, drop me a line and I'll set you up. :-)

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW

Yes, it is from Franschhoek, which is about 45 minutes up the road from where I live.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franschhoek

Quote:
This was a very limited release wine, with only 2000 bottles being produced. The vineyards were pruned right back for maximum quality and were cropped at less than 3 tons per hectare. It is a blend of 62% Malbec and 38% Mourvedre. We wanted the delicious ripe fruits to express themselves without the overt influence of any new wood and so the wine was matured in 2nd and 3rd fill French barriques for 32 months. This is a robust wine with a great depth of flavour. It has deep gamey appeal with hints of sweet leather in a sleeve of velvet.

More of a beer person myself but the wife & I tend to be beer snobs. We just can't drink the standard Bud, Bud Light, Coors, Coors Light etc, etc. We prefer smaller batch and local breweries, especially when we travel. Anytime we're in a new area we seek out bars that have a nice selection of local brews on tap.

my get up and go musta got up and went..

I just moved into my late grandpa's house. He has a bar in the basement in which he left 4 unopened fifths of different whiskeys. I don't recall the names, but they are all 40-50 year old bottles that are unopened. Along with the fifths, he had about 20 different shooters, again, 40-50 years old.

Man, they have quite the bite to them. Gets you drunk... fast. It's the 114 proof, 40 year old Old Grandad that will get you.

There was also a single shooter of some cognac. I looked up the price of the stuff the company sells now and they are selling fifths for $2000-3000. That's like a $200 shot.

I'm saving it for a special day.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
