Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven

[Hurricane Jack]

A Tatton Baird 3-cord & some Siete Leguas Blanco Tequila for a night at home. Maybe a movie night.

Got this Wormser today. First one I've owned. It goes right well with a cold beer.

You need Mezcal with a Worm…ser.

You’ll have to give us a report as I don’t think the An Cladach Limited Edition Release aged in the Sherry casks is available in the US.

Enjoying the Bunnahabhain again tonight. Heavy on dried fruit on the nose, particularly raisins. Same on the palate on the first sip. Nosing again gives a bit of spiciness along with the dried fruit and just maybe a faint maritime touch. Second sip and the dried fruit remains dominant. The spices are there along with the sherry influence, but I’m only finding the caramel I mentioned last time when I go looking for it, and not really finding the vanilla.
Coming towards the end of the glass and I‘m actually getting the caramel first for just a second before the dried fruit takes over again.
That’s about the extent of my ability to do a review. Most importantly, I really like this whisky. I did try to pick up another bottle, but it seems it’s all gone. I did, however, find its brother, Cruach-Mhòna, so picked up a bottle.

Heavy on dried fruit…

Personally I like the taste & aroma of the stone fruits over citrus fruits any day.

Thanks for the review. I have placed this whiskey on my "To Purchase" List based on your recommendation. I can not wait.

This past week a bit of rain and warm evenings found me enjoying (clockwise) All Day IPA, Guinness Foreign Stout, Guinness Draught and a Deschutes Hazy.

Yesterday evening a Guinness Stout hit the spot. This morning cold brew coffee (Volcanica Cost Rican coffee) and a Guinness Draught (breakfast) and a Founders All Day IPA (after shopping errands and starting a rasberry pie) have been my indulgences.

Cheers, Eric. -

This morning…

You’re off to an early start. Today 8/5 is International Beer Day.

"Bunnahabhain" looks like something from a Danny Kaye patter song...

A Stetson 7X Fifty on International Beer Day:

enjoyed with a Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat,

and a couple of Bell’s Oberon Ales.

All the Oktoberfests & fall Porters are on their way.

The day after International Beer Day has started with a Founders Porter breakfast beverage.

Cheers, Eric. -

Continuing my National Beer Day celebration from yesterday with Founders All Day Haze and Cavanagh A tasty beer for sure. I also dig the Wagoneer on the can art.

I just read Steve’s post @Steve1857 that he has Summer depression this yr. For some reason I’ve had anxiety for a couple of wks now, & especially high today over this world we live in. Today I find myself drinking $3.25 HH 23 oz Natty Light on tap just to save money not knowing what’s coming. Now that’s high anxiety!

Natty Light

Damn! You could have gotten by without any of us knowing and said it anyway. You are out of sorts.

No pics were taken in the making of these posts. I feel like I should squirrel away 10# of dried beans somewhere. That’s about all I can say without violating forum rules.

I continued my IPA haze this evening with a few Funky Buddha Hop Gun. High Anxiety …. I remember the Mel Brooks film.

Sitting out on the deck this evening enjoying the beautiful summer weather, dinner, and an Early Riser Easy IPA from Everybody's Brewing in my Gannon Highwayman.

Today, 8/08 is Ocho Day & it falls on Tequila Tuesday. With a few imports to prime the pump, all under my 4X6 all natural beaver Ritch Rand, in the style worn by Tom Mix in 1929.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

A few Boulevard Teal Rising Pilsners (new to me) & a Stetson 7X Fifty for Wed HH.

 

[Hurricane Jack]

TGIFHH opened with a few Boulevard Brewing’s Bob’s 47 Oktoberfest brown Ale’s then home for some Siete Leguas Blanco tequila & a movie, under a Resistol 3X Plains open crown.
