Hard to beat a good single malt scotch whisky with a few drops of water in it. Maybe this should be a whisky/whiskey appreciation thread.
Here is a vote to some smoky scotch!
. Bourbon is just too sweet for me.

Funny this thread came up. This evening, when I was on my way back to the hotel in North Platte, NE, my dad and I stopped at the local liquor store for some beer. I walked out with a bottle of 10 yr Eagle Rare, a bottle of Bulleit bourbon and a bottle of Bulleit Rye. The Eagle Rare was $22.99 and the bottle of Bulleit were $22.49, plus 6% sales tax. Could not pass up those bottles at those prices. It was like duty free.
Eagle Rare....How is my bottle of that doing, Snake?

Woodford Reserve on Delta flights for $7. On my way back to Michigan today I asked for a woodford and a glass of ice. The middle-aged uptight lady from Ann Arbor sitting next to me did a double take when i started drinking it on the rocks. It almost made me laugh out loud. Great way to fly for sure. The mini bottle was shaped like the big one which was kind of cool
I have one in my bar

That's odd, I never really took the RCMB to be a hotbed of French Monarchism.
Regardless of what we may think of their economic policies, everyone must admit that the Bourbons were some pretty heavy hitters in the day.Famous for having a voracious appetites in all things (Louis XIV was thought to have a stomach twice as large as normal) their policies usually favored war, but their personal tendencies ran more along bedroom intrigue.
So which should America favor, the Legitimaists or the Orléanists? It has to do with how strong you prefer your monarchism. The Legitimaists claimant is a cousin of the Spanish King, himself a Bourbon of another sort (too complicated to explain here). He is Louis XX, Duke D'Anjou, the young guy on the left. The other claimant is Henri, Prince d'Orléans. The Orléanists accept that the Revolution happened in 1792 and believe that only a Frenchman should be king of France. The Legitimaists think the Revolution was basically Louis XVI getting in over his head (
), and that if any constitutional concessions were made France should become more like Spain and England.
Neither is likely to set up a guillotine in Place de la Concorde and start cutting off the heads of prominent Socialists--but just to be sure, most French don't favor these guys getting near to power, symbolic or actual, anytime soon.

Drinking Elijah Craig 12 year. No work until Monday. I bought a couple of cigars as well. It's like my favorite combo meal: Bourbon and a cigar. I also bought Eagle Rare 10 year tonight but might save it for tomorrow. Anyone else imbibing tonight?
I am drinking my usual. Maker's Mark. I've started making Maker's Manhattans.
