The recipe calls for anejo and I think it would be good.

Oops, I missed that part - I am tired today.

I am drinking lots of coffee.... still sleepy.... zzzzzz.

Celebrating International IPA Day with a Stone IPA

Received the last of my necessary ingredients, so now I can say Cheers, Jacob! This Manhattan (and maybe a couple more) is for you and Emily.

You know what Al? I like what the cherry and about a half teaspoon of the juice do for the Manhattan, but I don't like the taste of the cherries themselves. But I didn't buy them to eat cherries.

Nothing wrong with that!

Starting off with a DFH 90min IPA for IPA day.

Came to City Beer to get a beer for IPA Day on the way to a firm event and they were unaware of the new holiday. I had a Palo Alto Brewing Rye IPA to celebrate anyway. Now quaffing a Canadian Berliner Weiss by Hopfenstark. Nice and tart.

Harpoon Rich & Dan's Rye IPA....drinkable but otherwise meh

Little candy time - good pull

--> Royal Lochnagar 1996/14yo 56.3% D.Rattray (BevMo Bottle)

I have a friend that is coming to stay with me for a week. She likes kinda girlie drinks (no whiskey or gin - only vodka or rum based). I need recommendations for Vodkas since I basically no nothing about them. I am sure that Marc and Jim can name a few. Are potato vodkas supposed to be the best? Also, if any one knows any good recommendations for vodka drinks, that would be much appreciated!

Older and wiser beverage

--> Tamdhu 1968/34yo 40.1% (almost not whisky) Duncan Taylor - Peerless

I like my alcohol with flavor Shelly.. but I would pick a classic potato vodka myself... sorry no recommendations.

--> Tamnavulin 1978/24yo 55.1% Signatory

wish I had more of these old Sigs

A nice little import:
