A good friend recently traveled to Belgium and picked up a bottle of Westvletere 12 for me, which is highly regarded and in limited supply.
We plan to sample that against the Orval that I recently discovered.

A cognac, a margarita, an Indian beer, a rum and coke, another rum and coke, yet another rum and coke and the cats are high on catnip.

Edit: half a bottle of wine and some drinks

J, the only time I’ve been to Murica was to Florida on a work conference about 20 years ago.

Brought a souvenir back….

Not sure about outside the US, but here we can still get the Mexican recipe CocaCola that's still made with cane sugar. You can taste the difference.

Agreed I grab those as well. They do have an American version made with cane they make at Christmas time in the US as well.

They do! Ironically I think they are made for Passover since the corn syrup wouldn’t be “kosher”

Both are great and I hope you enjoy them! Orval has a dairy farm associated with the monastery and a cafeteria… where they serve Mac and beer cheese. It’s a religious experience.

Not yet. My friend wanted to wait until after we had our bourbon tasting. The last one was affordable alternatives to Blantons. This time we did a blind tasting of 5 where each couple brought a favorite bottle (and 1 rum drinker who abstained). Woodford Double Oaked prevailed.

I'm principally a Scotch drinker, like Irish and Bourbon whiskey enough, but my buddy got me into sipping rum.

I don't drink too much these days, but I recently did a project for the maker of this pitorro, and ended up bringing a bunch of it home with me. It is really fun to sip on after a long day of work.
