The ‘Peated Malt
Old Ballantruan
Speyside Glenlivet
From what I gather from a quick search, I don’t think this is made by Glenlivet, but rather made in the same area within the Speyside region. It was recommended to us by one of the staff at a liquor store In Osaka.
Wearing my Hornskov...
Thanks Jack. The only Irish whiskeys I’ve had prior to this are Jameson, Tullamore Dew and Busker. I may have also tried a Bushmills at some point. So I don’t have a lot to compare this to, but I think it was a step or two up from those ones. We enjoyed it and consider it one we may buy...
Stopped at a little boutique coffee shop. I had Sumatra Mandheling & Etsuko a bean from Myanmar. Both very nice. Akubras for us both today.
Later, an Irish Whiskey for St Pat’s.
My other leather jacket. This is a little known Japanese clothing brand called Men’s Bigi. Since I bought the Schott, this one feels more like a leather shirt than a leather jacket.
The hat is an Akubra Stylemaster.
Thank you. But, no, not a painter. I am appallingly bad at drawing.
I was reading about the Oni Secret Denim on another thread. I'd be keen to try that at some stage, too.
The Super Rough denim isn’t soft. It’s thick, warm and a bit stiff, but I still found them very comfortable to wear. I like them a lot and will keep my eye out for some more.
Here we go with the same jacket, different hat again. This time it’s a Hornskov Emissary in black cherry.
But this time I am wearing another item that may be of interest to some. My birthday present was a pair of Oni Denim jeans. The guy that makes these is in his seventies. Apparently when...
Thanks, Stefan.
Thanks, Steve.
I’d never seen it on the big screen before, so after booking the tickets, I spent the week in a state of excited agitation. It did not disappoint. It was just a shame that no one else in the theatre seemed quite as excited as me. I had been hoping to go with a...
Birthday celebrations for me this weekend. My turn to get some oni-denim jeans.
I celebrated by watching Stop Making Sense on the big screen. I had to go two prefectures over. There were 10 people in the theatre. Nine of them sat quietly and watched. Meanwhile, I was dancing away in the...
Followed up with a favourite, Aooni (Blue Demon) IPA. Nearly as good as the Minoh W-IPA at just over half the price. Etsuko went for a Yona Yona Ale (Pale Ale)
The Minoh W-IPA is 9%. The Aooni, 7%
Birthday celebrations yesterday and today. I started yesterday with a Minoh Beer Stout. Etsuko had their Pale Ale.
The Stout won the World’s Best Stout in 2016.
Best stout in the world? I couldn’t say, but it is a damn fine stout.
Starting today with their W-IPA. Another goodie. Etsuko...
Early birthday celebration. Ten people in the theatre. I was bouncing around in my seat for the first three songs. After that, I was dancing in the aisle like a frikkin’ lunatic! One of the few people in the theatre got up and moved away from me!
I can say with complete confidence that I...
