I hope you didn't eat the food there, it was horrible. But the gravity Bar was really cool

Had lunch at the Temple Bar between the two tours.. really was a trifecta kind of day...

Gravity Bar is cool, for sure. It was pretty packed when I was there though...

Bushmills Black Bush

Regular Bushmills aged in a Sherry cask. I really like the taste, maybe too much :-O

Sherry casks really do seem to impart a beautiful flavor to stuff.

UncleWede · 08-18-2016, 03:36 PM

So I have some Amazon cards, and was looking for some cool new Scotch glasses. What's with these tilted ones? I'm slightly worried about committing the blasphemy of spilling if the glass is already 1/4 of the way there.

I did find one humorous, its engraved with 3 lines:

Plantation still rules.

When it comes to Sherry casks, you cannot beat Macallan. Went to a tasting/food pairing the other night.

(Actually, just Plantation on the rocks in a nice, clean glass.)

Any good cognacs I need to look into?

Agreed. Definitely not value priced for spirits. But, I indulge modestly. So when I drink, I like to drink well.

Awesome weekend in Vegas

I've become partial to Courvoisier XO myself.

I can't think of one XO cognac that I ever tried that I didn't like! In the case of cognacs, that extra aging/resting does wonders for the finished product!
