What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Fly Boy]

Last night featured Ancnoc 12, Macallan 10, Aberlour A'bunadh and a revolting blend aimed at the Spanish market named 'Ye Franciscan'.

 

[flat-top]

Sweet Tea vodka with lemonade. Kinda like an Arnold Palmer. But you get drunk from it.

Most blends are revolting.
I would love to try the Ancnoc but I couldn't find it here if I tried.:eusa_doh:

That's a shame, it's a very pleasant wee dram. Doesn't anyone import it?

Regarding blends, I find the slightest taste of grain whisky unpalatable. I've tried vatted malt blends but to be honest I don't really see the point of them. Unfortunately my friends decided to have a little blind tasting horseplay. One sip was enough. Yeuch!

Not that I know of.

Yes, the grain alcohol ruins the taste of a good malt. They tried to put one over on you then? :rofl:

Tried and failed. Can't miss the taste of grain in a drink - awful stuff!

That advice could get me into a lot of trouble

In my best W.C. Fields voice: "My dear, if you've gotten this far without getting into trouble now and again, you're obviously doing something wrong"!

Well, I never said I hadn't


Last night....
Sky Vodka on the rocks with a dash of water

"Dash of water"?! Tsk.....that's where you're going wrong. Have you seen how water, rusts pipes? God knows the damage it can cause to your insides! :eeek:

hehehehe.... well, I didn't want to get tanked, just slightly tipsy

My dad's family came from Molde, Norway.

Sweet, I´ve been there one time years ago, nice city, but their dialect is weird/funny though!

My dad went back there when he was in his 70's with mom. After decades of not speaking Norsk as soon as he heard the home town dialect he started in speaking Norwegian. My mom was amazed.

That is quite a feat!

My mom came over from Denmark 1948-9 and when she was alive her nieces and nephews would visit us. One of the kids told me that when she spoke in Danish that it was quaint and old fashioned.

I have been thinking of a blend of beers. (Kind of a specialty of mine, blending beers in the pitcher.) I like to blend some porter, barley wine and extra hoppy pale ales. Mmmm.

Danish used to be our written language some years ago.. Danish is such a weird/funny dialect. The cool thing about Denmark, Norway & Sweden is that all three languages are mutually intelligible, so you can communicate with the others through your mother tongue.

That sounds interesting! What does it taste like?

Piranhas- made with Oronoco rum, Cointreau, and lemon juice.

Highland Park 12yr... oh, and a few IPAs- not at the same time, tho
