Why doesn't shit like that happen to me? I'd like a free distillery and all, but just think of the fun sampling thousands of casks of fine whisky?! I hope you are trying to parlay all these swank contacts of yours somehow, Stretch. Like a paid goodwill mission to Scotland for your friends in the American Samplers of Scotch Whisky In Phonus Extremus Society. The ASSWIPES need you to get on the stick.
The star at least gets you close to the end.
Does anyone else still use Tapatalk? I cannot seem to get the "latest" page to show unread posts, and I have tried logging out, deleting, resetting, etc. Tapatalk also cannot read various stats or user info, although I am not sure it could before the upgrade.
That is one hell of a special sour beer, though, Mikey. Anybody should be able to appreciate that one.
As for me, a Manhattan in honor of our friend Claire in Paris who was diagnosed with some kind of intestinal cancer and had a very sudden surgery last week. My Claire and I are really taking this hard after just hearing about it today. Claire and her family have been wonderful friends for a long time. She met us in Berlin this summer and her daughter was just here in SF until Saturday (and at our house for dinner the other night) while this was going down. They didn't want to tell her until she got home, but that was very hard.
In any event, here's to Claire and a speedy defeat of this evil cancer!
Samsung and Toshiba have new tablet computers coming out. Samsung Series 7 Slate is a Windows 7 machine that will change to 8 when it is available. Toshiba AT200 is an Android/Honeycomb machine. Both have USB, and the Sammy is full size USB 2.0.
I have the Springbank 10 and like it a lot. The 15 sounds a little softer/smoother from the sherry casks but i don't think I have tasted it.
Glad you got the Torino and Jerry Thomas bitters! Yay! I need to try the Griottines. My Luxardo cherries are like sludge and crystallized and I don't get it.
Maybe Alex will let Tyll bring his pair to RMAF for you to use, and if not then I might be willing to bring mine if it is only used while you are present at the table.
Droughts suck. I would nit wait too long for that drink shelly and something tall and icy will help cool you off a bit. John Collins or g&t should serve.
