Where on earth did you find that!

The whisky club sent over a bottle aged in Cognac cask before Christmas and I have no recollection of what happened to it, if that’s any indication. This distillery is not afraid to break the barriers of convention!

Starward ain't bad, plenty of dark finishes which I'm a fan of! This animal was at Vintage Cellars Lilli Pilli, scored big time!

If you've never experienced "old bucky", this may persuade you to give it a go, then again?

The Whisky Club are celebrating Rye July this year with a taste testing of a selection and a meal. I guess after 18 varieties on taste the food will be mandatory!

So, as I secure my ticket, I find myself reminiscing about My favorite Czech Republic Christmas Stall ….. to take the chill off this miserable night.

Gary, I love adding the bar stall, bar or however one describes their favorite watering hole to the "what are you drinking" theme. I try to take photos of the bars in restaurants we visit, I enjoy the ambiance, the scene the bar evokes. Just look at her smile! Here is a photo from Cooperstown, NY.

Bars? I’ve seen a few.

This place in BC (Victoria Island) had about 50 beers on tap.

After inspecting that image for a while, I finally realised they sell drinks there...

Agreed! That's a staple at my place. ️

The result of my pineapple infused rum was quite tasty. I chased it with gingerbeer for a sort of "dark & stormy" type cocktail:

• E 17-70mm F2.8 B070
• 70.0 mm

However, the rum soaked pineapple (as delicious as it was) made for an unattractive garnish, and I think next time I will leave it sitting at the bottom of the glass. A fresh pineapple wedge or lime wheel would have been more appealing.

Had to look twice. I don't remember taking that shot!

Yeah, I’ve got that glass too!

 

[Deleted Member 5045]

Best glass ever!

Love this brand. Glenallachie, Glendronach and Benriach are three pretty unknown ones that I think are absolutely amazing! Probably my favourite brands along with Macallan, Overeem and Talisker. ️

Good start to the weekend!

The Whisky Club delivered this bottle this afternoon at 3:45pm.

I always pull the top off the night of delivery. A unique single cask being one of 400 or so at around 48% abv, I considered briefly of saving it for something special.

The tasting notes won me over starting out with the word “Gooey”. That’s all it takes.

Not a mention of peat, but it’s in there somewhere.

Interesting how yours is the only bottle of the 400 that has 'gooey' written on the back of the label in red texta...

Maybe later tonight mate! No drinks for me while I'm on antibiotics.

@Gaz I saw that brand when I was in the gift shop at Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness last year. I should have at least bought a 50ml souvenir, oops.

And Brook Benton is playing at full bass on Bose in the kitchen.

The current Mrs Unframed has taken the dogs off to the living room and I'm just enjoying the peace of the countryside.

Enjoy folks.

The lobster here have no claws for the shop to write a price on, so we just stand at the counter with a credit card waiting for the bad news.

Once upon a time I’d dive for them. Nothing gets your heart racing more than dragging a bag with a squealing lobster in it, when a school of fish dart past you, and you think, “what are they running from?”
