Went to a local whiskey bar called Canon last night. As my friends and I were sampling (I had a Bainbridge Island Battlefield whiskey), we ordered a marrow plate. After we had scooped out the marrow from the bones, the bartender placed 2 shots in front of us. We were then expected to a "bone luge". Apparently, this is a thing. We, being tragically unhip, had never heard of it. It was a very odd experience, and taste sensation.

I just read through the "boneluge" blog. Odd indeed, but like a Pickleback, worth trying at least once. What was the spirit/mix that you slurped?

I love Titos, although it's lost some of its appeal now that it's gained a following and prices have risen accordingly. At least up here in Seattle.

AKA Campfire in a glass. I like them smokey, but this one is just too much.

If you haven't already, give Templeton a taste before giving up on rye.

First time with this stuff. Definitely smokey. Oh my. Love your nickname for this stuff.
Are the others in the Ardbeg line-up similar in tasting profile?

Or Rittenhouse Straight Rye 100 proof. Ridiculously smooth.

Thanks. I've had the Templeton and liked it quite a bit. I've looked for and not been able to find the Rittenhouse around here.

it came to less than $20 per bottle. Don't let the price fool you. It's worth twice that.
Good to hear, because 2 X $20 is exactly what our local liquor monopoly sells it for. Clicky
