A wee dram come the evening of this rainy New Year’s Day.

@SFMCfranky That’s my favorite of all the Wellers.

@DeeDee85 it was not as bad as other years, but not great.. how did your pup make it through the night?

@SourPower they should be easy enough to find, DDL is the last operational Guyanese distillery. They bought up most of the equipment of other Guyanese distilleries as they went out of business, so they have a vast number of stills. Their flag ship marque is El Dorado but they are also in the market under a bunch of other names. But really independent bottlers is where it's at. They tend to be more affordable and have a few more years of age.

@tenuin not too bad, we stayed up a bit later than we normally would have and waited for the majority of the fireworks to die down. Tucked him in his bed good after that and he was fine

@endo @Tago-Mago you have my sympathies, gentlemen.

I‘d rather have your drink.

Thanks to a late holliday gift from one of our vendors I now have an emergency stash of EH Taylor in my desk drawer at the office

@scooter and anyone else in the trades would likely recognize the name

@Jett129 hope you like it. I have my first El Mero Mero sitting unopened on my shelf, their tobala. Really excited to try that one.

@tenuin got my hands on something special from DDL and it did not disappoint!

“Distilled from molasses at Uitvlugt Estate on the Port Mourant wooden double retort still (built in 1732), aged 2 years in ex-bourbon casks in Guyana and 22 years in ex-port casks in Europe. Bottled at 60.2% abv, unfiltered, no added color or sugar. Congeners measuring 546.9 g/HLAP.”

@endo I guess I’ll have to dedicate my Negroni to you (went down too fast to take a photo)!

[Tago Mago]

@ARNC obviously you have a to have a second one, because pics or it didn't happen

[endo]

@ARNC you are a terrible person

[Tago Mago]

@endo I would go with transiently irritating until February

[ARNC]

@Tago-Mago so as long as I don’t post pics I can keep going indefinitely?
