Okay at least one Dram:

Royal Lochnagar 1991 16yo Signatory Bottle 43%

Like hard candy (high proof hard candy)

Since you insist! (oh wait no one is here)

another Royal

--> Royal Brackla 1983 14yo from Stott's 58.5%

It is a hot one - but nice.

Great picture Al!

I'll have to add the Monte Carlo Cocktail to the list to try, it looks good (although I do really like the Old Pal so I am not sure will beat it )

Today I got a nice little package full of Awesomeness from Mike the ThreeFloydsZealot .

The glasses are even nicer looking in person that in the picture! Thanks Mike.

I didn't have a cold FFF beers to pour so I had to make do with a Dale's Pale Ale.

Cannot wait to try the Behemoth.

Now I am sipping some Metaxa Grand Fine while trying to finish up work for the day.

Nice 3Floyds glasses...

One more Royal

-- > Royal Lochnagar 1994 14 Rattray bottling 56.3%

(more candy)

Good stuff Mikey! You must have a very large liquor cabinet (I hope you keep it under lock and key ).

Thanks Shelly,

Well it is not really a cabinet - but it use to look like this (from a few years ago)

:o :o

And a few more for good measure

That's some serious whisky!

I know, I have the same reaction sometimes...

Hey, that was my exact expression when I visited Mikey's whisky garage!

Jeebus! Nice collection of whiskey! And that was a few years ago? What does it look like now?

Crazy collection.

Stax vs his pc speakers

quite tasty. never had it before. wish it were a bit dryer. but nice nonetheless.

and i thought i was bad when i had 50 bottles on hand, at one point.

Did you just drink that collection down or find another way? I find that it takes me a while to polish off a bottle but I'm constantly tempted to try something new.

Mikey -- you're a bachelor, aren'tcha?

Me, last night: Sam Adams Old Fezziwig. Pretty good. Will have again. Especially considering it was free*.

* I look at the Sam Adams winter/seasonal box/whatever it's called as US$15 for two choco bocks, and the rest are just gravy.

Hop Rod Rye.

Fat Tuesday deserves better. Although I'm sure plenty of PBR will be sucked back in NOLA. As for me, I am going with strictly crescent city cocktails today. Once I break out of here, that is.

new orleans cocktails...like sterno and bread? gasoline and turpentine? Watered down hurricanes for $8, 3 minimum to watch the band?

Nope. Hand crafted Sazeracs, Vieux Carres, or Creoles.
