We had the third and last bottle of Goose Island Bourbon Stout yesterday evening. This one from 2017.
Yummi!

I have been enjoying some Wiser's Deluxe (Canadian whisky) lately, I always seem to come back to it and think "Hey, that's pretty good!". This week I have been using it in Old Fashioneds because I have some Seville orange peel, and also Manhattans with a bit os Spanish red vermouth.
Long long day, whew!.. Dunno, a few good glasses over ice of 1800 Silver Tequila just gives that no nonsense get er done buzz with some good flavor as well if you like agave .. Life has been hard this last year or so, thankfully good Tequila is not only had by script or I'd be screwed lol 🙂
Apparently, today's cocktail is the "Quarantini". Basically, just a regular Martini, but you drink it at home, by yourself.🙂

Finishing with a "Visigo", a 9% Brettanomyces Imperial Stout. Pretty good, only available in 10oz glass, no pints.
Mixed up a couple of Topo Chico cucumber coolers following this recipe

Our friends from Mexico have been praising Topo Chico to the sky and now the neighborhood grocery store has begun stocking it. It was a great cocktail; now I understand why Austin bartenders have gone crazy for Topo Chico.

Talisker 10 year scotch, one of my favorites. Having that after a few sips of Aerstone Land Cask 10 year scotch (a new one for me). Both are smoky but Talisker includes a stronger and more refined peat flavor to which I'm partial. Drinking this while listening to the live Jackson Browne set on CD. Neither are quite a Lagavulin 16 year, but also not quite so rich...
All while under COVID-19 house arrest. New Hampshire (US) is relatively free of it, and there are no known cases in my county, but who knows? I suspect there are quite a few non-symptomatic people out there. Part of me just wants to get sick and get it over with. Then I hear about a 48 y.o. man without any obvious risk factors ending up on a ventilator, and I think twice about that wish...
Stay healthy and stay smart everyone!

BTW, it's the first time I've been able to listen in several days. I work from home and often listen, but now with 2 kids home from school and my lovely wife also home from work (teaching Montessori over the internet - is that ironic?), listening is a luxury. And scotch is an occasional indulgence, but it feels like as good a time as any.
Strong alcohol is unhealthy. Especially with a viral epidemic. Sugar too.
Dry wine can be an ideal or less harmful drink.

Milwaukees Best Lite. Cheap beer for tight times.
Milwaukee's Best Light | Miller Brewing Co. | BeerAdvocate
Not as bad as the review would imply. It is basically a lite beer, which is to say a light pale Pilsner with little hop flavor or aroma. Basic watered down flavor for the masses.
