I made an Old Fashion, was going to do a Rusty Nail but @alam post changed my mind.

Btw, anyone know how to make the spherical ice cube clear?

I went looking for a Takisker 20 Scotch during my break, but nothing in stock. Wellers wheated being put out though so I grabbed a bottle of each. Around here, this is harder to find than Blantons. It鈥檚 a pretty nice score for me. Wheated is the best.

That 107 is impossible to find here. My go to stores by my house haven鈥檛 had a bottle to sell in over a year. The SR is an easier find. It sells out quick but restocks enough to be able to pick up a bottle within a few weeks at most if I need a replacement.

Poli distillate via Sassicaia ... was rubbish when I first opened this bottle 4 years ago, all awkward angles, hot and smelt like frsh laid carpet, has mellowed since then, actually very good now (as its provenance says it should be)
Plus UPR Le Mesnil Grand Cru Prestige 06 - absolutely mind blowing ... in the interest of full disclosure, this is one I import ...

@Mtek found another bottle of nikka from the barrel to put in reserve. Glad I did as I鈥檝e yet to see another available. also had a pour of EC 18 last night for $16.50 at a beer garden in uptown New Orleans last night. Had that and a pour of the Old Forrester 1920 for 7.50. They had to open both bottles for me...lol. I love it when you find good bourbon at places that don鈥檛 know what they have and what they should be charging for it. That EC 18 was as smooth as butter and probably should have been min $30-35 a pour. I tried to get them to sell me the bottle but alas they would not. Worth a shot!!

I visited the Woodinville distillery. I got to try several bottles, even the Rye @Foo2rama has. I ended up getting a Ltd port finish. Awesome distillery and all ingredients local.

It鈥檚 starting to mellow out a bit since the bottles been open for a few weeks now. The heat is still there but not as much unfront and more on the finish. Might still add a little water but not an absolute necessity like it was when I first opened the bottle. Makes me wonder how mellow my Stagg Jr is going to be in a few weeks.

Eating rabbit meat on a sauce of strawberries and a Margaux from 1962

Where I grew up, "rabbit meat" was the name we gave wild rocket. As kids we'd go and pick it by the bagful. Washed down with warm dandelion and burdock (that's a drink if it sounds odd to foreign ears). These days you pay 拢1.20 for a small bag of that stuff in Sainsburys'. It's next to the watercress.

How old do you have to be before nostalgia becomes a thing? I also remember being chased off the land by "old man Smiggy" ... more than once.
