Margaritas in anticipation of fish tacos for dinner.

Fleet Foxes at the Greek Theater. Fantastic so far.

Three Sierra Nevada Pale Ales at Fleet Foxes Nice looking and sounding cocktails out there tonight. A little jealous.

Cleaned and reorganized my dad's garage and back yard. Put in about 7 hours and it was in awesome shape at the end. Now sitting at the Greek Theater with Claire and Alden waiting to see the Fleet Foxes.

You can play mono records through a stereo cart and regular stereo setup. Just don't get the real mono experience, such as it is.

Your labels tonight have contained the year of my birth and my home town, Mikey, and your booze comes from the land of some of my fore-fathers.

For science! Handy is dandy, and its high proof makes me feel manly. Handy remains my favorite. So perfect in a Sazerac Cocktail.

Now the Van Winkle. Damn, talk about your rye bite! I love this stuff. Mikey, you and your killer palette oughta do a sampling of these ryes with me.

Usually a little later in the Fall but who knows. BevMo has been a good source for those, btw.

For science, I have made another Sazerac Cocktail with Sazerac 18 (2010). Also awesome, but with more rye bite than the elder Rittenhouse. Do I dare continue with Thos. Handy and Van Winkle Reserve Rye and maybe the Sazerac 18 (2009)? We shall see...

Too bad about colds and shitty days, but tomorrow is another day. Although not quite cask strength, I needed some whiskey treatment when I got home too. The Sazerac Cocktail I am now enjoying with Rittenhouse 25/Gum Syrup/Peychauds/Opaline Absinthe/Large Zest of Lemon proves that life ain't all bad. Damn fine drink. Cheers friends!

I hope you plugged them into an electrostatic amp...

You have some luck, Ric, and none of it is good! Was the cigar smoking guy located in the Analog Room? Best of luck going forward...

Nice twice!

Lots of people drinking and chatting in chat right now. Just sayin. And thanks for the kind comments about our friend, Shelly.

For free...

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.

You're going to love them. Guaranteed.

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.

120 expressions of Springbank alone? Your list is really awe inspiring. Do you have a spreadsheet with this information?

Merci mes amis.
