Thanks DD. I found this at a thrift store for a quarter. I had to get it. My grandmother used to have a cabinet full of this stuff.

Not sure about the match with kangaroo leather, but vodka tonic made with vodka sous vide infused with mixed berries is highly recommended.

Thanks DD. At 117 proof served neat it kept me warm on a cold night. I'll always wish I could have gotten up into Scotland for an extended Distillery tour.

It has warmed up to -14'f. Feels like temp is -32'f (this is with wind chill). Brrr! I have taken a day off and feeling "cabin fever" headed out to walk the property with my dog. I poured a Surley IPA and headed out. On the walk the beer kept getting a slushy top. Sure sign it is very cold.
The past couple weeks when I would have a chance, usually north of 11:00pm I did sip a whiskey. My bottles of Yamazaki 12, Laphroig Quarter Cask and Green Spot got the recent calls. A small pour into a heavy crystal glass just seemed to do the trick. The combo of very cold weather and long work hours had me really enjoying the taste. No quantity, but the glass sipped over almost a hour was a real luxurious enjoyment. At first the alcohol taste was prevalent, but soon after the tastes of the whiskeys came though. I took time and it was enjoyable to have them develop in my mouth. I am not an experienced whiskey drinker, so this was an opportunity to really lget to know a couple bottles.
It may be very cold, but I am recharging my personal energies for another long couple weeks. Feeling good! I am even considering starting up the grill. I can do -14f' on the grill!
Cheers, Eric -

One of my fav IPAs, Bells Two Hearted. They have a light and DIPA, which are both alright in their own respects, but the original is just about perfect.

You would probably enjoy Dogfish Heads 90 Min IPA. Very similar hops & 9% ABV. They also brew a 60 Min (6% ABV) & the hard to find 120 Min (12% ABV) IPAs.

Yeah DF is great stuff. Recently went in on the $24ish 120 Min 4 pack... will be a while before I buy that one again.

I bought some 120 about 3 yrs ago when it hit the market here; I'm on a mission to drink every brew above 10% ABV. Haven't bought any since. But I do enjoy the 90.

I had some Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon last night. I was near hats, but wasn't wearing one. I arranged for these guys to stand in for me. Cheers!
