- ooh, the last time I had Highland Park was in The Garvault in a very remote part of Scotland - lovely wee drop too, sweetish and very (read that as, too..) easy to drink


No, not a small bottle of whisky, but two large and very cherished slippies from the hands of Matt Brown

Jack and Paul, you guys are giving me a hankerin' for Scothch, but I already had bourbon on my mind.

Yowza, that looks complicated, Greg!!
At my age, I think I'd better just stick to a bottle of beer each night with my supper!
By the way, I don't know how long you've had it (I think I first noticed it last weekend), but your new avatar looks GOOD!

A black IPA is a nice way to ease into winter beers.

Very nice Jack:thumbup: A nice scotch and the beauty of the scales on your Lambsfoot are in my opinion a excellent match.

Two very nice knives, I can't decide which I like more :thumbup: That also looks like a fine bottle of scotch you have there. Definitely one I would like to try having been aged in bourbon barrels.

That is a great picture Greg!. I Really enjoy the contrast of the darker colors in the glass with the vibrant yellow, green and copper. I hope that you found the Elijah Craig an enjoyable bourbon and liked the addition of bitters to the Kentucky mule. While it packs a little more punch then most bourbon it is excellent with a splash of water or bruised with an ice cube. Your TC looks like it's settling happily into its new home :thumbup:

This is one I enjoyed a little while back but never had the opportunity to post. If you like wild ales or sour beers this is a very unique beer and one that I truly enjoyed but never expected to fall into my possession. My sister, bless her heart managed to get me this bottle of batch #2 consecration that was aged by Russian River for 10 years before it was released.I found it only fitting to pair with my Lambsfoot as they both represents generosity, friendship and family during this holiday season.

A bottle of beer or a glass of wine with dinner would be my normal weekday thing, too, but figured I'd splurge a bit tonight since I'm finally seeing the light at end and of the tunnel with a drawn-out project at work.

Thanks for noticing the new avatar. I'm glad you like it!

A nice way indeed. I'm not familiar with the brewery, but I'll keep my eyes open for it the next time I'm out that way.

Looks like we were typing our posts at around the same time.

Thanks for the compliments on the picture. I'm enjoying the Elijah Craig in the mule and would be happy just sipping it with a touch of ice or a splash of water or soda. And, yes, the TC and I are getting along nicely.

That's a lovely photo, both visually and in sentiment it captures. Your sister really set you up! That sounds like an incredibly special beer. I'm definitely a fan of Russian River. I try to stop by there to pick up some of there their Pliny the Elder and Damnation whenever I'm near Santa Rosa. Great stuff.

I do find it slips down a little too easily Paul! I generally prefer something with a little more smoke and peat, and your Bowmore Small Batch looks superb, as do the knives :thumbup:

I think I might try to put one of those together over Christmas Greg :thumbup:

Thank you my friend, I'm afraid it wasn't the best pic, too much Highland Park no doubt! That's a special beer and a great pic of your Lambsfoot :thumbup:

I picked up a few interesting ales today, but then opened a bottle of wine with supper. Guess I'm just going to have to finish the bottle now! :thumbup:

Happy Friday! Lick Creek and Makers for the wife, Buck and Blanton's for me!

Stopped for a Lagunitas IPA on the way to the Adirondacks. My daughter looks very odd when viewed through a beer glass.

I think Julia Child was onto something when she said "I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food...". You could always save part for "cooking" tomorrow.

It's good when couples maintain their individual tastes.

A pleasing IPA and lovely knife. :thumbup:

There's something missing from that photo, I think.

Seriously though, lovely club goods.

LOL! I'm sure I can find some more to "cook" with today :thumbup:
