What distilled beverage are you drinking?

Another heads up to FL spirit (and wine) drinkers that ABC has a coupon (can print off their website) for $10 off any $30 purchase of spirits or wine. Good thru 12/24. Can only use one per visit, but I've gone multiple times. So far I've picked up:

Plantation XO for $35
El Dorado 15 for $33
Bunnahabhain 12 (similar to HP 12 - though an Islay- but 93 proof) for $38
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban $43
Highland Park 12 gift set (w 50 ml of Origins) for $50

and looking at more Scotch to pick up

Zafra 21

More pickups on the ABC deal

Craigellachie 13 $48
Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva $24
Saint Teresa 1796 $27

Nice deals!

Crown Royal Northern Harvest

Happened to be at the LCBO when they rolled 10 cases out unannounced and picked up two bottles. The rest were gone by the time I left the store.

For a $30 rye this is not bad stuff. Not going to beat out some of the more complex scotches and bourbons but it holds its own at that price point.

Last night's Xmas party:

Booker's
Wild Turkey 101
Bulleit Rye

havana club 7 year old

Grappa from Del Dotto

Yesterday - Laphroig 10 - very nice.
Today - Four Roses (standard bottling) - decent.

MacCallan 18, my brother and I just recently got into scotch. We both bought each other some 18 for xmas. We both were laughing our asses off when we exchanged gifts.

Riazul Anejo Tequila, after brunch earlier today at Frontera Grill. This was really awesome. Very complex, without relying on just the influence of extra oak aging.

Ardbeg, Corryvreckan

Finished the bottle, which was the first time I had tried this whiskey, and decided it is one very fine Scotch.

Not surprising, you might have loved anything after finishing the bottle!

Kirk and Sweeney 23 rum

Kavanaugh Irish whiskey - picked up a bottle for $13 at Total Wine (on sale down from $22). Not bad; a basic Irish whiskey. I am tempted to go buy a couple of cases just to have on hand.

Four Roses single barrel.

Last couple of nights:

Old Rip Van Winkle 10-Year-Old
Glenmorangie Nectar D'or

A couple glasses of wine and a night cap of this stuff will leave you feeling pretty good! lol
