Anyone enjoying the drink tonight?

Send them my way!  All my house guests leave are dirty sheets and a vaguely bad smell in the guest room.

I'll bring something special when I visit.

Stop inviting your wife's family over. Problem solved.

Oh, and I'm drinking a Cherry Coke Zero.

Someone "left" a bottle of this at my house. Never tried the Fine Oak version. I will report back!

Drank the Fine Oak 10 when it was first introduced... it was light.

I assume the 15 is light and smooth.

Yes. I am having moar Talisker, which is pretty much just moar peat.

Took the boy to piano lessons today and was offered a glass of this while waiting.

Dee-lish!!

Nice. Got a half bottle, still in a cupboard somewhere. Ardbeg (of any type) is a top dram.

New meat!

Oh yes! A beautiful part of the world and some excellent whisky. Need to get some more of this 10-y/o as it's really, really good.

Anyway, tonight I'm mostly drinking some really dark, Guyanan Demerara rum. Straight up, although would work really, really well with ginger ale and some lime as a (Dark & Stormy) long drink.

I thought a Dark n Stormy was made with ginger beer?

I have yet to try a Demerara rum that I like, always tastes "burnt" to me.

Doesn't scotch/whisky burn? Or is it the flavor of "burnt"?

I'm not the one that invites my wife's family over...... :-( Guinness with my pizza tonight.

The flavour of "burnt molasses". YMMV.

[boston blackie]

jesse James, a rather nice bourbon.

[PuttsLefty]

My favorite...on the rocks.

Ginger beer == ginger ale. Same thing, at least over here.

I know what you mean but I don't find it that 'burnt'. More of a molasses kind of hit for me. As a matter of fact, have a rather large shot of it by my side again tonight!

Really?? In Canada, ginger ale and ginger beer are very different. Ginger beer typically has a massive ginger hit, kinda burns the nostrils.

Ginger ale is much less pronounced, something kids can drink, ginger beer not so much.

Enjoyed a glass of Macallan 12 the other night ... very enjoyable. An easy drinker for scotch.

One of my favorites. Tremendous value. I like the 12 better than the 18.......

[geauxforbroke]

At $11 a bottle, this one's tough to beat.

Good idea. Great way to relax after putting my 8 month old twins to sleep. The brown liquid in the test jar is an English brown ale I just transferred to a keg. Very excited for that one. Should be ready in 2 or 3 weeks.
