Cracked open the Aberlour 12 NCF tonight. Little bit beefier than the non-NCF version. I like it.

43% abv vs 48% abv

I wish we got the Aberlour 10 here in the US

that would probably be my daily dram

M_Six · 08-26-2016, 10:28 PM

'Ritas tonight. Always good after a hot, humid day.

Questofthetune · 08-26-2016, 10:29 PM

Got a great year of hautey Malta, silky smooth.

Nitwit at BJs but had to go back to the standby Piranah

larryn · 08-28-2016, 09:51 PM

Tres Generaciones Anejo in a tall rocks glass over ice and a generous slice of lime, lime rimmed and salted. Yum!

TXSTYLE · 08-30-2016, 11:47 AM

Got this email from Contreau and it sounds and looks absolutely delish!

THE RECIPE

2 oz Cointreau
1 oz Fresh Lime Juice
2 Blackberries
2 Raspberries
5 Mint Leaves
3-4 oz Club Soda
Muddle the berries and mint in the bottom of a glass.
Add Cointreau and fresh lime juice with ice, and top with club soda.
Stir briefly. Garnish with a berry and mint sprig.

This is definitely a fresh, crisp and more refreshing drink. I was thinking of adding in some of my rum or vodka for that 'kick' you mention.

On another exciting note... I just got off the phone with my local store manager who is special ordering a couple of new bottles for me to try:

Léopold Gourmel XO Age du Fruit 10 Carat Cognac

Ron Abuelo 7

A Cognac and a Rum. Just in time for Labor Day weekend!

Just checked in to our hotel in Oxford. The Balvenie Doublewood 12 is 4GBP here. About $5.50 a glass. I think I'll like it here.

M_Six · 09-03-2016, 05:01 PM

That and the 20 y.o. vintage.

TXSTYLE · 09-03-2016, 06:17 PM

Kicking off this Labor Day weekend correct...
