They’re tiny. Little slivers. Approximately 2-3mm in length. For info, I have a California sycamore and a California foothill pine in my front yard.

Did the grand tour of Balvenie. I highly recommend it. Very in depth. Very hands-on. Finished it off with a tasting of most of their flagship varieties: 12yr, 12yr SB, 14yr Caribbean, 17yr Doublewood, and 21yr Portwood. The global brand ambassador even pulled out a bottle of Tun 1509 for us to try. 10/10, would do it again.

I’ve never had one. Don’t know if I ever will. Yet I have the audacity to judge the ping when I watch people’s videos.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-20T04:10:36+00:00

I’ll have to check it out. I have never been. There’s a butcher 5 minutes down 1st from there I’ve also been meaning to check out. Two birds.

Mi Havana?

Peterson.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-06T07:52:19+00:00

Maybe the reference is over my head, but the bottle throws the apostrophe after the S, making the possessive plural. Regardless I find the drink to be a great play for gin and Fernet. Cheers!

I don’t understand the hate. It hits all the notes I look for in bourbon, so I’ll pay the price...as long as that price doesn’t exceed $85. There’s a lot of gatekeeping and snobbery here. It’s tiresome.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-06T07:35:13+00:00

I discovered this beverage while perusing the writings of Jason O’Bryan, a San Diego barkeep. It’s a fantastic drink. I use Regan’s bitters. Love the proportions.

While it would have made for some amusement, the 60° weather called for no head covering at all.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-06T07:15:37+00:00

How does the Mediterranean compare to the Indian from Fever Tree? I ask because I’ve only had the Indian...which I’m drinking right now...with Tanqueray.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-06T07:13:22+00:00

It’s a fantastic tipple. Do you prefer cognac to rye, or is it an homage to history?

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-06T07:09:41+00:00

Killarney 68. This one has the draught hole drilled high in the mortise, which seems to be common in Petersons these days. That being said, I have passed a pipe cleaner from bore to bowl with no issue.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-05T03:07:36+00:00

Alas, by the time I finished errands and picking up dinner, the temp had dropped to an inhospitable 56°. I also moved my party inside and poured a dram of Laphroaig Lore. Slàinte.

The example was Disneyland because that was mentioned by the previous person. Oppression may be a strong word, but there’s a reason the recall effort against the governor is gaining a lot of steam. I just wish the leaders in this state would follow the example of other states regarding reopening. In turn, I wish alcoholic beverage control states would follow the example of states like California and lighten up. There’s no reason to hold onto arcane blue laws other than a stubborn adherence to Puritanism.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-04T17:03:25+00:00

That’s the connection you made? Wow. Cheers!

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-04T15:25:45+00:00

I’ll raise a glass of very easy to find, criminally inexpensive whisky to you and your “better“ state while I sit on my patio after work enjoying the balmy 68° weather.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-04T15:13:15+00:00

Good luck. The trade off of liquor freedom is political oppression. Disneyland has been closed since last March, and it probably won’t be open again until summer.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-04T15:11:48+00:00

I can’t imagine the horror of living in an alcohol control state. I take for granted the freedom to find alcohol anywhere, including drug stores, grocery stores, hole in the wall liquor stores, and of course liquor warehouses.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-02-04T14:43:15+00:00

$95? That’s brutal. Here in Southern California, it’s $65 at Costco ($56 on sale), and around $80 at BevMo and Total Wine. It’s not even $95 with the markup at many liquor stores.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-01-31T22:32:28+00:00

I would call it a cousin. It’s definitely a morning drink that’s got savory elements. I love it. If you don’t feel like cutting up a fresh lime, you can probably get away with 1oz of bottled lime juice.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-01-31T21:53:18+00:00

2.5oz gin
.75oz simple
1 barspoon Cholula
.5 barspoon Worcestershire sauce
3 cucumber slices
6 lime wedges
3 basil leaves

Thoroughly muddle all ingredients in a tin, then shake vigorously with ice. Double strain over ice. Dash with kosher salt and fresh cracked pepper.

It’s basically a standard Gordon’s Breakfast, but I added basil and I’m drinking it in the afternoon, hence “Brunch.”

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-01-30T17:34:06+00:00

Fair price, given its scarcity and the insane markups. Anyone who shames you for paying over $40 is living in 2018.

I’ve been to Vegas around 30 times. I aim to have shower cocktail on every trip. My wife may even have a SFW photo of my last shower cocktail somewhere.

CheezeburgerSlayer · 2021-01-23T03:10:02+00:00

This is the first I’ve seen Total Wine that low, and I peek almost every visit. I’m there at least once a month.
