what are you drinking tonight

It's the highest distillery of them all - the old Highland Railway's summit is right outside the distillery.
Your description is perfect, Dan. One of the finest malts to sip and savour before a meal, after which, of course, you will require something mighty, dark, mysterious, smoky and rich. From Islay, where else?
Slainthe!

Thanks, Robert Louis. Yes, the snow on the mountain reminds me of early winter at home. The pictures is always somewhere in my mind when I drink of that delightful beverage.

Oh, and right now I'm drinking Rooibos Tea. Very refreshing.

Actually, I must say I'm with you on this one too, Robert Louis! I like Rooibos Tea! And being a terrible insomniac, I know of its vitues...


I was listening once to Richard Paterson, the master distiller at Dalmore, talk about the multiple ways to possibly enjoy the whisky. I can't recall precisely the chain of my thoughts, but eventually, it inspired me to try it with a black chocolate Lindt bar with red, hot, chili piments. The mix of the deep sherry tast and spices of the Dalmore with the flavour of the spicied chocolate is wonderful. I often have some of the mix as a dessert, or just watching the tube in the evening. A bit strange, I suppose, but really good!

Heneiken is the way to go!

P.S.: If you don't drink Jager, you're not a drinker!

I think I'm required by law to post this now....

If Heineken is the way to go, I'll go somewhere else please. In the Netherlands, the home of Heineken, Amstel outsells it by a factor of three.

It's always instructive to drink what the locals drink.

Unless you're in the US.....

When I drink beer, which has become something rather rare, these are probably my favourites.

McEwan's is some good stuff. Can't find it locally though, because I'm stranded in Redneck heaven with no way of ever escaping.

Last night I got trashed off Natty Boh and JD honey. This morning was anything but good!

Tonight I'll drink a Kettle One Cosmo with a twist at Jamie's Long Beach Party!! Yum!

Quick survey, while you're posting what you will be drinking,what is the worst beer you've ever had? Home-brews don't count.

Not sure about mine, in college there was an Ohio beer you could only get up around Toledo called "Old Buckeye." In 1992, it was 75 cents for a six pack of bottles, and still way over priced. It tasted like piss and rubbing alcohol. The other one, was in England, I've never seen it before or since. It was called Reg's Bumblebee Lager. It came in a black bottle with a yellow label, and tasted like warm spit and semen, maple syrup, and used-Guinness. Horrible.

Any commercial beer that taste like the metal vat used to make it, which is pretty much all of them... It has become disgusting to me, more used now to the oak taste of good whisky...
