CPK and Whisky (or other vices), a pictorial

My oldest turned 21 the other day and so she went to the liquor store for the first time and picked up some late "Christmas" presents for us. The Tully Dew will be great as a mixer in my Irish Bucks but the Knappogue Castle is an excellent dram for the money and very good sipping neat.

She could have done a lot worse.

Congratulations to your oldest turning 21. Knappogue has long been a personal favorite of mine. I hope you two enjoy sipping some together.

Laws is hyper-local for me (I like their Rye, and they have some really good limited releases). Same as Bear Creek Distillery, just a few blocks south (I really like their wheated bourbon). Only 5 or 6 minutes from my office, and I get lunch in that area most days. :cool: Probably good that neither are open during lunch hours lol!

ETA - I didn’t immediately notice that you got the bonded 4-grain. That’s good stuff! :thumbsup:

I figured the other pictures were just a result of how many times the glass has been refilled 😂

Nah, it was still early. 🤣🤣🤣 It’s now nap time, though. Being at sea….seems timeless. In my earlier days on a salmon fishing boat and aircraft carrier, time seemed to blur. However, those days didn’t involve Bloody Marie’s, Lagunitas , and whiskey, and an unlimited supply of fantastic food . Good times !
 
EMCEE EMCEE I hope you and the missus are having an epic time. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.

This stuff is really good. I got two bottles of it so I felt ok with the dent I put into the one pictured this last weekend. How is their consistency from batch to batch? The two bottles I have are from the same batch so I can't test that out myself currently.

I've enjoyed seeing your various knife-shot postings here on the BF. :thumbsup: 😍

I'm kind of curious as to what kind or type of camera setup/lenses that you like to use?

Thank you, my friend.

I am afraid that I am an amateur at best. I know how I want a photo to look so I try to achieve that as best I can with the equipment currently available to me. All I use is my iPhone 13 Pro (in the past, I've used other iPhone models, a Google Pixel at one point, and a Samsung of some sort). All that said, I am often frustrated by my results - most of the time, they don't turn out how I want. I like to control my staging, lighting, etc. but I often find I have no control whatsoever so I do the best I can.

One of these days, when I am done buying knives (what?!), I'd like to invest in some good equipment and take some classes. I think I lack a lot of fundamentals that I need to learn.

I think you are doing quite well with your iPhone 13 Pro. :thumbsup:
My iPhone pics are generally not even worth posting.
A few years back, I decided to get a new mirrorless camera with the thought that I might be able to get better results, however I still find it to be rather challenging.
Every now and then I'll get one that I like but many of my photos still seem to me as being rather "meh".
