Company for dinner last night, so started off with some beer, then a Caesar using the new dill pickle vodka...it was awesome:



Then wine, then scotch, then port...then bed...

Not even the habanero Tabasco. You wuss 馃榿

The vodka that is used in the drink has spice too. Not sure what Tabasco Habanero tastes like, but I assume it would be of generally low quality. There are so many good sauces out there made by local and smaller companies, I would never generally buy anything I wanted true flavour from, from a large brand like Tabasco.

I have plenty of hot sauces, but being hot is not really the point of this drink...

Yeah. After Hababero Tabasco you usually can鈥檛 taste anything else for 10 minutes. I usually make my own hotsauce but haven鈥檛 tried it in a Bloody Mary. I usually make it with garlic and coriander but not sure how that would work in a BM 馃檮

I thought I should post my whiskey barrel in this thread. My wife gave it to me last Christmas. It鈥檚 a bourbon barrel converted into a cabinet. My house is fairly rustic in nature so it suits our kitchen/dining area. I鈥檓 sure you鈥檙e peaking at its contents of which I鈥檓 quite pleased. Cheers all.

It's nice, probably nicer on the nose than the tongue, but this is not a time for complaining, lol.

I know, I know, the glass is--meh. But it came with the house:



The wine? Superlative, as Kongsgaard typically is.

Can we have tasting notes? I've fished the Deveron for salmon once before--never drank the waters though.
Very nice and mild whiskey. Fruity to the nose nice finish. I was very pleased with it. I鈥檒l buy it again the next time I see it.
