@Leonardo, It's actually not all that bad. I can take a shot of it without cringing until i get a cramp. Which is more than i can say for some of this bourbon i have.
@Clipdat, It's not usually on, but when it is you're not facing it so it's not harsh on your eyes or anything.

(I did not know at the time, but ordering at the table and bar are different. A table order comes with white glove service.) If you order it at the bar, the bartender nonchalantly pours it in a regular glass and hands it to you.


I can describe the taste to you with this analogy. "It tastes like chicken."




Was it worth it.... Not at all, but hey, YOLO Bitches!!!!

Like anything eventually you get to diminishing returns. I mostly drink whiskey (crown, jack, or jameson depending on what I feel like) but got into cognac recently. It stafted with regular Remy, then turned into VSOP, and now 1738 as long as its not a huge group mooching off me. Not much difference between VSOP and 1738 but enough to splurge on occasion. Cant imagine trying the Louis XIII.

Had a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue a few months ago and that is close to being an expensive addiction. It was soooo good.

I love Camus Borderies. It is expensive at 130$ or so a fifth, but tastes absolutely amazing!

I'm not a whiskey or scotch drinker. About 10 years ago a friend gave me a bottle of JW Blue for Xmas insisting I would like scotch if I just had the "good" stuff. He told me just how I should have it, one ice cube made from "good" water. I followed his instructions that night. Tasted like lighter fluid to me. That bottle is still in my liquor cabinet minus one little glass.

It also doesn't specify 5PM or 5am, so I figure I'm always covered.

Lol. I told my friend i wouldn't like it, but he insisted I take it. I was in my mid 40s at the time, I think I know which drink I like and don't like. I wish I had left it unopened so I could of re-gifted it.

This last weekend I found time ( I actually made some time; ask me how! ) to build out the "shed" in my backyard.

It was almost the "Swamp Slime Saloon", but I decided to name it after my lovely wife's retired license plate.

Been collecting stuff (junk) for awhile to put this together. Now I just need to fully stock the bar and throw a party!!!!



Edit: updated behind the bar shot. Added more things from my collection...
