I'm out. We grow some big ones on AL.

Can’t open the link without a subscription but I can read a thousand pounds. That would make a few delicacies.

Been out for coffee under a Knox American Royal Arminto clone, on this beautiful morning.

Sorry about that. Only thing to add it was 15' long.

Knox is looking great!

Planning a relaxing evening with some favorite 2020 La Loma harvest, Tequila Ocho Plata.

Yesterday evening I got home and enjoyed a Surley pilsner. As the evening continued I finished a walkabout and treated myself to a Guinness. I spy some green traces of Spring.

Cheers, Eric -

Woodford is a staple for me. If you can get the double oaked, it has a richness and depth that have made it a favorite of mine.

Just tried the double oaked. We started with a glass of the regular Woodford Reserve to make a comparison. Certainly seems more rounded and probably worth the few extra yen.

I spent the day under my Hornskov Mogul.

I am happy that we agree! Your photography is beautiful. Sadly, I am out of the Woodford, and now you have me wanting to restock. Slainte!

An afternoon of NASCAR, XFL, & MLB under a Stetson One-hundred with a KC Bier CO IPA, then a switch to a few Odell 90 Schilling Scottish Ales.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood... Put on the Crash-test Catera (Stetson 5X). Did some yardwork, woodwork and was getting buzzed by a C-130. After all of that it seemed like a good time to enjoy a Yeungling Flight on the back deck with my wife.

All is well.

It was nearly 80 degrees today, so it felt like the right time to break out my Mayser Panama and enjoy a Full Sail Sessions Mexican Lager. I have been playing with the zoom on my camera to make some cool pictures.

A Founders All Day IPA was definitely a treat last night.

A few Boulevard Irish Ales under a Worth-Walden earlier during HH while watching the NFL Draft Countdown round #2 on ESPN.

I changed hats a few times throughout the day but started and finished the day wearing my 3X OR. I'm drinking a Thunder Island IPA on the deck and watching my kiddos play in park. This evening is pretty close to perfect, beautiful scemery and wonderful weather.

An afternoon aperitif with a new bottle of Lagavulin 16 Islay Malt & my Stetson 3X Amon Carter Shady Oak Farm.

We cracked open a bottle of Old Pulteny the other day. Neither of us were particularly impressed. I got quite a strong briny, seaweedy flavour that was just too much for me.

Anyway, we decided to have some more last night to get through the bottle we don’t like quickly.
I took one sip, thought “what’s going on here?”, took another sip to confirm, turned to Etsuko and said “this is really good!” Etsuko confirmed.
I’m not sure if it was opening the bottle up to the air or the food & drink we had prior to the whisky, but those maritime elements really seemed to have had the edge taken off them.
I wore my Hückel yesterday.

I’ve never bought any but I do read that it is sea salt & seaweed which I always found strange being a Highlands whisky. I do believe what you ate last & when you ate last does play a factor in taste. Some whiskies are better as an aperitif & some taste better as a digestif or bedtime dram.

An Optimo Original West in Silver Cloud & a few Yuengling Traditional Lagers for HH.

A few Erdinger German Weizenbiers & a Stetson One-hundred for a beautiful HH.
