I recently took a bottle of bitters to a bar I enjoy frequenting just to get a manhattan! And usually they don't know how to make a "Perfect" manhattan - it is one of lifes' discouragements, anyway the jar of bitters now resides at the end of the bar and usually only used by myself:)
Is this available in any U.S. outlets? I'd like to preview a copy before I pay $130.00 for a subscription - it looks fascinating, but then I still miss "Classic Style"
Try "New Amsterdam" gin - it seems a bit lighter on the juniper and is very smooth. Makes a good martini.
Large quantities of your favorite recipe on a summer evening - just the thing!
In some order my favorite single malts
Cold weather: Hands down it's Lagavulin, then Laphroig
other than that, Glenmorangie 10 yr., Glenmorangie Lasanta, Talisker, Bladnoch's John McDougall Single Cask.
On a budget? McLellan's Highland is a very pleasant single malt - and not too pricey.

Lately it's been McCarthy's - a fine whiskey from Oregon - a good peaty taste ala Lagavulin except a little ligher - special order only where I'm at - I'd like to see it on the shelf!

Of course it's interesting to hear what the international forumites will be doing - if anything at all! are they as worn out from our campaign as...
More dessert wine,,,,
Have you tried Rosa Regala ? (banfi wine) it is a wonderful dessert wineand reasonably priced.
Personally, I prefer crusted port over even tawny - - and it does go well with a good cigar. - no need for anything more for me for dessert!
what to drink in a hurricane
In honor of the oncoming Hurricane Hanna, I thought I might digress from the normal Scotch or Bourbon,and do something tropical.
having aquired some Cahaca, might try a caipirinha tonight. now,,,,if only I could figure out the best cigar to go along with it...
Interesting - I too lived on Ray road years ago - I remember not being able to leave for work because the herders were taking sheep right down the middle of the road (just west of chandler). Last time I was there I was totally lost!
Dalmore Cigar Malt
Ah at last yesterday aquired the coveted bottle of cigar malt - could not get the recommended cigar but paired it with a fuente 8 5 8 outstanding flavor - it will now be added to the Lavagulin and Cao Isla!
the only problem I had was wanting more :)
Thanks for...
I remember Sinatra saying "I feel sorry for people that don't drink because when you get up in the morning that's as good as you're going to feel all day"
I'll drink to that! :cheers1:

my good man, did you think I was referring to the dress? I just couldn't believe the whole package didn't get invited out for the evening :eusa_doh:
Dittos your comment on Dahriling and smutrella - I may be on the wrong continent or hanging out in the wrong cities :D
