Missed ya, but it was a good day to be at the park!

Sweet! We're over in 110. I'll swing by a little later.

What section are you working? Might come say hello!

Make it 11 after a great lineup last night with friends. The Bladnoch is no longer produced, so thankful for a backup. The Bowmore will be replaced at some point, but a few more kills are in order first.

They’re a great pairing and luckily easy enough to find most places. The Westland is also available through their site at a reasonable price if you can’t find it in stores.

It’s been a spell, but a couple more kills brings the total to 9 for the year already! Unfortunately, despite my “rule” I’ve bought about that many for the shelves. Never fear, viewers, more murders yo come! #whisky #AmericanSingleMalt #OnlyMurdersOnTheShelf

Another sad loss, tempered by a great addition. If you haven't had the Cedar Ridge Quintessential, jump on it. It's a great example of what American Single Malt can be. This will be replaced ASAP. The up side? This Little Book Ch. 6, made up of 4 malts from 4 casks, and a fortunate find.

Onto the 6th kill of 2025, but this time not a #singlemalt. The Penelope Architect is great, one that fooled a friend into thinking it was a single malt during a blind tasting. Filled with nuttiness, spice from the French Oak, it's a great entry to bourbon if you're more a malt head #bourbon

Yet another bottle kill, this time the Arran Sherry Cask, "The Bodega". My god is this an amazing whisky, cask strength, full sherry maturation - if you're not familiar with this bottle, get one. It's one of the best yum:cost ratio sherry cask whiskies out there #whisky #singlemalt

The hits keep coming! This is another shelf staple for me, with a backup on the shelf already. It’s such a great dram for a great price, rich with plum, nuttiness and a zest of pepper from both the American Oak and PX casks, it’s amazingly balanced on my palate. #whisky #singlemalt #Campbeltown

Hey #whiskey Sky - I'm "shipping up" to Boston next month and deciding on distilleries to visit. The top contenders are:

Boston - Short Path, Boston Harbor, Bully Boy
Maine - Split Rock, Wiggly Bridge

Thoughts? Leaning on Short Path, Boston Harbor, and Wiggly Bridge at the moment. #bourbon #ASM

No photo, but had the second bottle kill of the year - the Glenmorangie 14 y/o Quinta Ruban. What an amazing bottle, especially with its cost to yum ratio. In a port-finished lineup, it stood up to the Dalmore, Glendronach, and Arran, all at $20-30 more. Luckily, I have a backup. #scotch #singlemalt

This year’s State of the Union is Disarray. Apologies to the actual 50 states of the union because, well, we’re effed, and in the words of the cheetoh, “Have fun.”

First bottle kill of the new year is one of my absolute favorite bottles and distilleries. Chocolate covered cherries, plum, currants and hint of allspice.

The only downside is that while I have a backup bottle, it’s one that was signed by John Campbell, so I may never open it. #whisky #singlemalt

Lochlea has done an amazing job over just a 6 year span. They're on the third and final crop of their "farm cycle" lineup, so grab those if you see them, along with the two Cask Strengths. Great stuff from a farm that was once home to Robert Burns, and is now the source of the barley they use.

Impromptu "U Pick 'Em" lineup with friends tonight. Which piques your curiosity? #scotch #whisky #sharingsicaring

Wait, maybe I'm ok with that, too...

An interesting tasting last night, a lineup of port finished single malts. I wavered on the order initially, and landed on starting with the 25, grouping the two tawnys and bookending with the rubys. Glendronach took the top spot almost unanimously, with the Dalmore and GlenMo close behind. #whisky

The #BostonBruins are now 2-0 when I’ve watched them on TV this season. I might subscribe to ESPN+ to help save this season. #NHL

I might give the battery-powered leaf blower a go first...

For real LOLed and teared up at the same time

I do have that one bottle, but I keep forgetting about it because it's up with the non-whisk(e)y and mixers. For awhile, I was using that one for cocktail experiments, but got lazy again and stopped. I'm not even sure I could tolerate it neat in this state, either 😆

It's been a week since whisky has touched my lips due to the plague that I've had since last Thursday. It may be a couple more at least, as my nose is still congested and I worry I won't be able to truly enjoy anything. My big mistake is not making hot toddies, which may be my way out of my drought.

I'm a day late, but congrats for making it another revolution! The offer of a dram if you're up in Minneapolis ever stands.

I've resolved to limit my rage to "one item" each day, knowing I will use the quota every single day for the next four years.

OMG, that's my second one - Right now I've got a couple Ikea style bookshelves two to three deep in some places with bottles. What are you considering for shelving? I'm a fan of the etagere open shelves, even though the shelf heights aren't adjustable.

fuck’s sake you’re gonna make me say it again
