Is it the standard Macallan or the "Fine Oak"?

Standard. I opened it and tried a little. I'm not familiar with too many kinds of distilled spirits and would take a beer over water any day. I use to say I haven't found any hard stuff that I liked until the day I tried Jameson's Irish Whiskey. Over the past few years that was the only distilled spirits I bought.

Recently I tried some cognac and it didn't do much for me and then tried some Johnnie Walker Black(blended scotch) and thought it sucked. I don't think the peat smoke agrees with me but thought I'd try a different scotch(single malt.) I must say the Macallan picks up some distinct flavors from the sherry oak cask with a little smoke to go along. The jury is still out. Any suggestions for the next bottle?

 

[punkinduster]

I just tried a little more of the Macallan and I am afraid to say that I just might like it!

 

[tlmoody27]

Have fun Tiff. If alcohols involved have one for me.


Drott's dog shack on the move.

Probably no alcohol, just quiet time with hubby. We got a gift certificate for Ruby Tuesday's for Christmas so we're going there to eat then back home. Yep, we're partiers here.

 

[tlmoody27]

Does Boones Farm still cost $1.00 per bottle?

$3.97 at Hellmart. I'm just guessing cause I noticed it next to the wine the other day.

Darn, they should have waited til you got home. I'm still resisting the urge. So far so good.

Turn the Roos loose and in a day or two start collect eggs. You can do it.

Everyone's taste is different. I like Johnnie Walker Black, it's my go-to Scotch in restaurants and bars. The Gold Label is my all time favorite blended Scotch whisky. If you like less peat and more top notes, you might really love Highland Park. I adore the stuff, and I also find a lot of peat off-putting. Avoid the Islay distilleries, as they are known for their strong peat notes. You might also try Oban or Glenmorangie. Both are good Highland producers.

I wish I had enough money to try more, learn more, and indulge my love of good Scotch!

Good Scotch is like some of FVs juices. It grows on you!

 

[FlyingV]

Mr V is laughing. We'd have polish and silkie x eggers, marans, wyandottes and red sex link. All would be awful looking I would think. My polish and silkie girls aren't laying yet.

I stand corrected. I just brought in a teeny tiny silkie egg.

 

[FlyingV]

I'm going out with the camera, you need to see how pretty Spud is getting. And see my Zulu roo. He's gorgeous.

What's wrong with Trucky?

I look up and it's almost 11. Just another busy day. I am getting more hours but they are making me WORK for it. The day shift guy said he is done with these hours soon, I'm really hoping it won't adversely effect me.
Mrs G is at her parents house because my niece has her birthday party tomorrow. I don't handle 48+ hours of no sleep well so they are there.
James, we actually just got our second beta fish. The first ones name was fishy, this one is bluey. She named our truck too, wanna guess??????? It is Trucky. She is so creative... before that we always mean fish... Oscars, green terrors, devil fish, if they didn't eat fish we didn't want them. And then they started breeding. Super mean fish breeding are something like the devil in a fish tank. You couldn't even walk by without them trying to attack you. Well back to work...
Happy (everyone else but me and nogrin) weekend.
