Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

They still make that stuff? I got diabetes from that stuff!

Pictures of knives and booze seem to be prevalent on the different knife groups on Facebook. I always make sure to include pics of my hard cider with whatever knife I'm carrying when I post those pics. I need to grab them and host the pics, I'll contribute later.

A great in use pic for knives and booze? That six pack plastic holder that soda, beer and ciders come in? Use your knife to cut those rings, so that wildlife won't get caught in the rings, and celebrate with a cold beverage.

BTW, a buddy of mine is a bartender, and I saw him at his bar. He was using his lighter to open ciders and beer bottles. I told him I was going to get him a sommeliers tool, and after I showed him what it was, he said that he would be fired for having a weapon. I didn't tell him that I had about four knives on me. A sommeliers tool considered a weapon? That blade isn't long enough to clean your fingernails.

Nice Christmas gift 👍
I haven't heard of Jura. I imagine there are several on your side of the pond that aren't available on this side, or at least not available locally. American rye cask sounds interesting 🤔

Thanks Mike, it's the best Jura I've had so far, but it's nothing like the Islay whiskies, for example, in my opinion. I followed the Jura with a glass of Talisker, from Skye, which I think has more character, and costs less :thumbsup:

I quite like Talisker Storm, which is the only Talisker I've tried. I really like the Ardbegs I've tried. I like the peat and complexity. OTOH I also like Glenfiddich 12 year, which I know from previous posts of yours, you don't consider to be very good. I blame it on my unsophisticated American palate :p

LOL! :D I preferred it when Scotch was sold by age, rather than blend, but I like the Talisker Storm (as I did the old, plain 12), and buy it whenever I see it on offer, which seems to be quite regularly ;) Those smoke and peat Islays have ruined me for many of the lighter whiskies I'm afraid! :D Another I enjoy though, which I can often buy at a reasonable price here, is Highland Park from Orkney :) :thumbsup:

Yes, I prefer the Scotch being sold by age, too. Received some Johnnie Walker Double Black, no age statement. It is smokier than the regular Black (which is aged 12 years). Very nice, but I do prefer the standard Black Label. I even like age statements on my bourbon (which this unsophiticated American palate enjoys!). You know, many single malts depend on used bourbon barrels for aging. ;)

I was making a Dark 'n' Stormy earlier, but smelling this rum made me think it was a bit too good not to drink neat. So I had a couple of cocktails, with a different rum, and then went back to Mount Gay ;) :thumbsup:

Moosehead! Haven't seen that in a while. Gonna look for some. Remember it being kinda skunky in the '80s, but willing to try again. Maybe I just had some stale bottles.

Throw back from my younger days as well 😉 similar to flavors of a Heineken for sure.

First time trying this one. Gotta say it’s pretty, pretty, prettaaaaay, pretty good. I can’t find a way of describing the flavor profile without blurting “that’s what she said” 🤦‍♂️, so I’ll just say it’s close to trail mix. More of a dessert beer.
