fokker4me Posted March 14, 2015 Posted March 14, 2015 Ratafia. I gave up drink all but wine for lent.
sengjc Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 sengjc, you must have a serious single malt collection mate...full of unique, fine Scotch whiskies! Had this too. Quite Islay-ed out after last night. The Octomore 6.1 and Port Charlotte PC11 are dangerously drinkable, can hardly feel the alcohol in them. The Auriverdes feels a little tame for an Ardbeg. Likewise the Dark Storm feels quite un-Talisker. Nice whisky though. 1
Guest rob Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I thought you weren't that much into peated and smokey whisky! It would be amazing to see how you'd go if you were!

JohnS Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I tried a Negroni cocktail today as I'm slowly working my way through a Tanqueray Gin bottle. 1 oz of Sweet Vermouth, 1 oz of Campari bitters and 1 oz of gin, served on the rocks.
Wil Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Glenlivet 12. Nothing fancy, but this stuff is a steal.
fabes Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 While tasty, I'm not sure it commands the premium. Glad to have tried it, but I'll stick to the regular release Old Stock Ale.
Reevzy Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Went to Nicks Wine Merchants to get another bottle of Glenmorangie Astar and walked away with a bottle of The Glenlivet Master Distillers Reserve, 1 litre for 90 of our Australian trading chips. Of course another bottle of Astar, it takes my breath away that stuff. Finally I had a little taste of the Fortaleza reposado and was persuaded by it. 2
Reevzy Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Woops, I was actually meant to post this in recent aquisitions but they're all pretty much in my glass today so I guess it's alright
ElJefe Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 ImageUploadedByTapatalk1426716627.019744.jpg How was the RedBreast mate?? I'm tempted to pull the trigger on a bottle every time I walk by it when at the store but I would like to know more about the flavor profile before indulging. How did you like it? What is the nose, flavor, finish and your overall take on it??
Mr Cholmondley Warner Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Right now....Sailor Jerry, started with a Bakers, picking up a replacement Remy Martin VSOP at Dan Murphy's tomorrow though.....that's my favourite daily drink.
scottm12 Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 redbreast 12, strong nose banana and green apple with some wood chip flavor in there and plenty of sea salt brine like an old pulteney. i got a bottle then my brother picked up another one. long finish very rewarding. one of the best irish out there with green spot.

dangolf18 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Does it live up to the insane hype? I'm usually not into hyped up things, but this stuff actually exceeded my expectations. It's hard to go back to any other IPA. Only better IPA I've had was Pliny the Younger, but that's only on tap at the brewery in Santa Rosa. As a side note, I'm much more a European lager type of guy, but this stuff has made me a convert.

dangolf18 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks! Did you pick yours up at KL? I'd like to try one sometime and I go to KL almost weekly Nope. Straight from the Russian River Brewing company on 4th Street. You can buy up to 18 bottles I believe. It's about $5 a bottle. They also have awesome food and you can taste all their beers (22 I believe) for $18. I believe the only place that sells it in SF/SJ is Whole Foods and they get it at 11am on Wednesdays and there's a 2 bottle limit lol. Usually sells out super fast.
Lotusguy Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks - not worth the hassle unless I want to resell on eBay (kidding) Will give it a shot when work or travel brings me near Santa Rosa.
TM-US Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Last night was pretty epic: Michel Couvreur Overaged Malt Whisky Kilchoman Sherry Cask single cask Kilchoman Port Cask single cask SMWS Caol Ila (don't remember the age- not worth it, mediocre Caol Ila) SMWS Springbank 10- Alice in Wonderland Whisky (this stuff was the BOMB- excellent!!!) Glen Garioch Cask Strength Springbank 12 Calvados finish I didn't take photos, oh well. 1
sengjc Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Shared this with the wife earlier. Quite an interesting drink, the spirit is very fine with a hint of coconut and vanilla sweetness.
