Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

Corona Familiar, Rand's flat brim open crown.

I much prefer the flat brim open crown look on you over the porkpie. You have the size & shoulders to carry the look.

And for me it's Balvenie Caribbean Cask tonight.

Hi Jack, glad you are still around, this thread would greatly miss you. Sorry I've been away a while, been in over my head a bit with 'volunteer' projects for Family and neighbors.

Love the Balvenie, but the bar set is absolutely stunning ! Can you share some details on it ?

Wow, great run. I especially like the Aberlour. Love the Nicolas Cage clip.

Thanks HJ, It's been a slow (and extreme) transition!

They are not mine. They are French gilted bronze tantalus liquor cabinets. The glassware is crystal with gold leaf & dates to the 1880's. Pretty rare I would think.

Drinking some Maestro Dobel Anejo Tequila on this Tequila Tuesday, with my Gannon & a few rain drops from on the way into the house.

Worth it I would say!

The head of the sea. I need to try the Commemara myself, it sounds tasty.

Home & breaking seal on this bottle of Connemara Original Peated Irish Single Malt Whiskey with my Stetson Shady Oak Farm Amon Carter/Washer Bros 3X, after a cemetery run to honor those who came before me & paved the way.

Happy Memorial Day, all!

Have you drank any of the Distillery series from the older casks? I'll be trying this one soon.

It is very tasty & Scotch like, for an Irish Whiskey. The Peat smoke is very pleasant but not as heavy as an Islay Scotch, if that gives you an idea. I would say at this time Connemara Original would be my favorite Irish Whiskey.

Last evening I enjoyed getting stronger.

Cheers, Eric -

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Oh yes! A relaxing moment enjoying the last of today's sunlight.

I am still finding amusement with the Guinness early 1900's advertising campaign.

Cheers, Eric

All beer is Guinness. All the others are mistakes.

I have not tried any of those yet, looking forward to your review.

I do really enjoy their a'bunadh. Very good, bur a bit pricey.

LOL, those are great Eric. Sounds like I need to start drinking a few Guinness's before working on projects......

The museum finally opened for the season today but due to social distancing the lessees were asked to stay away. But I've been there in spirit.

We are in Florida for the week visiting family, and we drove to Titusville to watch the rocket launch that never happened. We were stuck in traffic for 2 hours trying to get out of town. In the midst of the traffic jam we conveniently were stopped in front of a liquor store. I went in to find that they had a 1.75L bottle of Rebel Yell for $25. Thinking back, I should have bought 2 for that price. Hindsight...

 

[Blare]

Enjoying a bit of the Father in law’s home brew “bourbon” and the latest arrival Borsalino Ludoita

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Home in time to enjoy the sunset and a Guinness.

Cheers, Eric -

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Sipped a Guinness with my brother watching the sunset. Later sat on the deck sharing a dram of Speyside 10. My brother likes Speyside 10. When ready for a freshening of the glass, I switched to Yamazaki 12 while my brother stayed loyal to Speyside 10. We agreed that another day we would have to do a tasting of others. Not tonight.

Cheers, Eric -

 

[Bushman]

Drinking some Mike's Hard on the weekend!

 

[Northerner]

Overcast, windy, and 62F (chilly!) here today, good day for a wee dram.
