Have been buying some private bottlings of George Dickel's Tennessee Whiskey as I come across them.  surprisingly good amidst the overpriced, underaged, commodity bourbons that have absolutely flooded the marketplace this past year.  The distillery released a 17 year old whiskey in the fall, which is the oldest whiskey they've ever produced (according to legend/clever marketing, one of the current master distillers found a small stash of the 17 year old aging away in a forgotten corner of the rickhouse) and a very good one for the price.  Only available in 375 ml bottles, and hard to find, but well worth it.

Dogfish Head Olde School Barleywine Ale.

Damn.

Beats Bigfoot, and I'm a big Bigfoot fan.

Hoisting a second one in commiseration with Speaker Paul Ryan's defeat today over Obamacare. Poor fucker. Next time you try taking down the law of the land, perhaps you'd better consult with the people of the land over whom that law presides. 24 million health care insured ain't nothing to mess with, especially seeing's how most of them are in your red districts. Just sayin'.

Damn, this is good beer. Ha!

Whiskey tasting with friends.
Started with the usual Speysides and sherry cask finishes, then on to some vatted malts from Compass Box, then to the peat domain, then it was just swilling, then screaming and laughing, then ..., then somebody threw up but the whole thing kept going.

Felt glorious to pretend we were young again but today it is a bona fide angry bitch of a day.

I don't know about stopping, but for the next few days if I see or smell alcohol I don't know what will happen.
