Here are a few new favs I found:

Yeah, Green Spot. That is the stain you find in the carpet when you have a SICK puppy! 

My friend has an almost 2 year old, so you can probably guess where his frame of reference is.  He also has two smaller house dogs, so he's familiar with pee stains.  When they lived in their older condo, one of them used to piss on his pillow when he upset her.

I had a very large and dominant male cat in an old apartment I lived in. He always wanted to be outside. Especially at night. When we let him out he would bring his kills back and leave them at the front door for us. You can imagine what my wife at the time would do when she opened the door to find a bunch of dead bodies and parts. Screaming was not beyond her reaction. So we tried keeping him in at night. But he would crap on the carpet in front of the door. So one night we kept him inside and went to a friend's house. When we came home the cat had crapped in front of the door (on the inside of the apt). Of course we had no idea. So when I opened the door (it swung inward) it spread the crap all over the carpet. We let him outside after that.

Bought a bottle of this and enjoyed at a BBQ after the Spartan Race.  I would say decent and I enjoyed it, but not one of my favorite Japanese whiskys.



A friend brought a bottle of Blanton's.  I typically associate most bourbons with the burn that comes from the high alcohol content, but this was pleasantly smooth.

Picked up a bottle of Four Roses the other week for a whiskey/cigar night at a friend's house.  He had mentioned the brand and I saw it when I went to Tamura's so I picked up a bottle.  It was really good!  Very smooth and decently priced.



They also had the Single Barrel version for a little bit more.  I might have to try that one next time. 

Just received my Christmas present to ourselves!

Nice! 

A buddy and I have been trying more Islays recently as well as cask strength.  But I'm always down to try others.   (hint, hint, hint) 

I've done this twice, so I guess it's a tradition. Master of Malt is a,, whisky exporting company? Anyway, the shipping is high, as one would expect, but comes down with volume, as one would hope. For the 2nd year running, I've bought ourselves 3 bottles of this delight. I planned to wait until Christmas to open the box, but that resolve faded about 5 minutes after I got home yesterday.

Anyway, for anyone looking to order something you can't find locally, they've been good to me so far!

I recently tried the 4 roses a few months ago.  very good bourbon.  slightly sweet, but not too much.

Yeah. One of my buddies orders from there and I usually jump in. We got some Nikki cask strength and Kavalan. All good stuff.

Yeah. Slightly sweet. The bunch I shared with likes the sweeter ones. My other buddy and I have started going to more smokey/peaty, and cask strength stuff, but I still enjoy the range. Just gotta be wiser about order that we partake.

There's a smartass joke in there someplace but I just can't think of it now.

Neighbor has a lime tree right on the property line.

What's a good drink to make with fresh limes and whiskey?

I don't have a whiskey and lime recipe but a vodka gimlet is good. My fav vodka drink is with a whole Tahitian lime and vodka with a little sugar and mint. I recall the drink was called the Russian colonel.

I forgot to add water and ice to vodka recipe. (amount depends on your taste preference) 

I don't always drink whiskey but when I do its usually crown or chivas. I know cheap date. Someone gave me a Macallan 12yr. last year. It evaporated quickly.

I was given a big bag of calamansi limes.
Squeezed out several cups of fragrant juice and made some lemonade.
Went grocery shopping and saw a bottle of honey bourbon.
Sounds like a good mix.

Whiskey margaritas!!!

I like to add a dash of Varget for taste.
