      We were invited to a brunch in Washington DC this morning. The bar in the hotel had a large safe. It was 10am and the bar was empty. Had to ask the bartender about its contents. Here are a few pics of the inside. 
      Macallan 72 was front and center. 40,000 USD for a 2oz pour. Fun to see but no chance I’m getting a sip of any of these.

        Really enjoying this malt at the moment, Port Charlotte MC01, 2009 ( Peated Bruichladdich ).  Some amazing flavours going on in this one.  Matured in Marsala wine casks.

        If you like peaty whisky then I can recommend this one!

            Nice buy Seul, Mortlach is absolutely one of my favourite malts. Signatory are one of the better independent bottlers as well, your in for a treat.

                      I saw Mo Rocca do a segment on CBS this morning about this apple brandy and I was hoping to get some of it for Thanksgiving. That didn't work out unfortunately. But today was the first day I was able to go out and not be contagious. So I was finally able to collect my order from the liquor store.

                      Let me tell you, this stuff is really great. It is perfect to celebrate me surviving covid. 😀

                            I am working on this bottle of brandy tonight and like on my 3rd triple. I really like it a lot. When I drink it's for effect, so like I like how this doesn't give me a headache and it tastes really smooth with some ice and cranberry juice.

                              @Cutlasshound I love rum, have worked my way through a good number. My 5 Yr old son bought this for me for Christmas… Well, his name was on the label! This is the world's 1st carbon NEGATIVE rum, and distilled completely in the UK. It is very good

                                Interesting! Will have to give it a try. Many thanks indeed for the tip.

                                My rum supplies were destroyed at one point after two mates came around and I discovered that one of my oldest friends doesn’t appear to understand what ratios are. My rum stock was destroyed.

                                Thankfully this Christmas saw me pick up about four or five bottles (also, if not had it, Ron Zacapa 23 is significantly cheaper on Amazon at the moment. Certainly my favourite rum).  Covid has seen my home alcohol consumption increase (nothing excessive, just a simple function that if I fancy a drink I have it at home) so having a few different ones on rotation is a great shout.

                                  I got some more of this apple brandy. Although I got the cheaper stuff this time. This all natural cranberry juice is super sour though. Tastes almost like lemon juice.

                                    There's 5 1 oz shots in the Mule and it's so sweet and smooth. It's blowing my mind. 🤯

                                        @Filthy Try to find their Bonded Straight Apple Brandy, it's the best version.  I find it has more apple flavor than the fancy one, even if it's not quite as smooth.  Plus it's 100% brandy from apples (pretty sure their applejack product is a mix of brandy, grain alcohol, and flavor), if you care about that sort of thing.

                                        Edited to add: maybe I've already posted about this before?  Anyway, I love this stuff and keep it on the bar so I don't mind crowing about it repeatedly.  Try it in place of whiskey in dark cocktails like a Manhattan.
