息子がくじで当たったWildmoor40年ものが到着🎉

パパはコンビニで「当たった」缶ハイボールを飲みながら、うっとり眺めるだけ🥹

Every once in a while I look out from our dining room window, and instead of just taking the view for granted, I remember how cool the NEC building and its wind tunnel really are.

Spoiler Alert: They are cool asf.

今夜も、コンビニウイスキーの研究。
ハイボール用だと思うけど、先ずはストレートで味見してみます。
🥃🧪👨‍🏫

研究タイム🧪🥃🧪🥃 😋

祝日を言い訳にして、またビックのお酒屋吉祥寺に行ってきました。今回は「普通の試飲」もありましたが、「一生飲むことは無いだろう」レベルの試飲もありました。響30年、白州25年、バーボンのStagg JrとVanWinkleなど、ウイスキーオタクとしては、最高の1日でした。
🥃 🥃 😋 🥃 🥃

今夜の飲み比べテーマはピート+シェリー

最初からLedaig 18年が1位になることが決まっているけど、2位はどっちでしょう？

Big Peatはピート感が強いけど、原酒とオーク感が軽い。Elements of Islayは、ピート感がBig Peatよりまるやかだけど、オーク感が強く、原酒が重い感じ。

やっぱり、結論が出るまで、飲み比べの継続が必要でしょう

数週間前のA’Bunadhに続き、
Aberlour一族から、また一人が本日勇退。
厳しい現場を支え抜いた功績は忘れません。
ご苦労様でした🫡

I have no idea if this guy will be good at mayoring or not, but it’s just so refreshing to see a real human being with a heart and everything in elected office again.

Hate to break it to y’all still trapped in the US, but there is no longer any law in the traditional sense—the only law is what Trump, Miller and the Proud Boys want to do.

Editor’s note: replace “is destroying” with “destroyed” for accuracy.

ステーキはどこ？という懸念点は残りますが、
とりあえず、いただきます😋

昨日と比べたら、相当予算が違いますが、
今夜は、Ballechinの飲み比べさせて頂きます。

The Legendary Bottle has arrived 🤩
I am not worthy 🙇

Thanks, @masterofmalt.com

Thank you for your service 🫡

Trying out a new addition to our Benriach family tonight.

As a wise man once kinda said,
“I like Oloroso butts, and I cannot lie” 😊

These people are complete frikkin lunatics wtf?

Busy night of tasting, but the clear standout tonight was the Yamazaki Tsukuriwake Golden Promise (thanks @masterofmalt)

A masterful, no-tricks showcase of the fantastic flavor and mouthfeel that Golden Promise barley can deliver.

Just wow 🤩 🥃 😋

今夜の飲み比べ：
Lagavulin 16年 vs Lagavulin Distillers Edition

両方とも熟成16年間、度数43%なので、どこまで違うかな？ Distillers Editionの「Double Matured」影響次第？🤔

Fraternal twins enjoying today’s nice weather with a walk around the park.

この間飲んでみた「スーパースモーキー」缶ハイボールの印象があまりにも良くて、三郎丸のボトルも買うことにしました。

三郎丸VII The Chariot
ラベルのSuper Heavily Peatedって、
嘘ではありません。 💨🥃💨

We Have the King That Thomas Paine Feared The rule of law was central to the American experiment. Is it still?

"This has been obvious for the past year to all who have eyes to see, or who are willing to let their eyes do any seeing. But the last few days have provided especially clear instances of the assault on the rule of law."

I won a bottle of Hakushu “Story of the Distillery” in a Master of Malt Competition, so had to do a side-by-side tasting with standard Hakushu.

The “Story” expression has some more depth and heft than the standard, but not sure it merits the price tag given it costs almost as much as the 12 yr.

Great deal on Amazon last night, so picked up the whole family. Love all of these, but they’ve gotten so expensive over the past few years, gotta wait for a sale. 🇯🇵 🥃 😋

Good gawd the US is over 😭

Tonight Tasting

Farewell, dear friend 😢

Ready to start tonight’s tasting.
They both smell very, very nice 😊

Beautifully maintained Toyota MR-S I sometimes see around the neighborhood.
Love this little car.

We’ve all gotta do our part to advance humanity…

Quiet please 🤫
