Pappy Dinner

Whoa. Heavily considering this but my wife isn't interested. Might have to organize a sausage fest.

It would be nice to see the menu as well, but I'm sure it's top notch.

[sweetcell]

it's the four seasons.  the food will be top notch.

a buddy of mine has a whiskey collection that would make relaxer drool.  it's in a huge glass case we've started referring to as "The Alter."  i'll have to post some pix.  anyhoo, the other day i tried some Pappy VW for the first time.  i think it was 20 year.  damn fine stuff, probably the best bourbon i've ever tried (not that i'd tried that many bourbons, nor do i consider myself an aficionado).  as others have stated previously, i'm not certain it's $800 good.

Oh, they're serving food at this?

Yup... five course meal... which almost pays for itself.

Picked up a bottleof Whistle Pig at Magruders on Saturday - only 59.99 which I thought was a good price

And a buddy stopped by with a bottle of Pinhook bourbon which was very good

WhistlePig rye or bourbon? I've only had the rye and it was good but I feel like there's better rye out there for the price, like High West's Double Rye or even Wild Turkey Rye.

Lately I've been experimenting a lot with ginger liqueur. This is a recent favorite:



Tonight's drink:
3 oz of rye, 1+ oz of Domaine Canton ginger liqueur, 1.5 oz of simple syrup, 1 oz of lemon juice, a few blurps of Angostora bitters

Mix in shaker with ice, pour, experience bliss.

your kitchen, is straight, out of the eighties growing up memories i had in north carolina.  including the booze and shaker cheese.  my parents, liked booze . . . and shaker cheese.

Tell me about it. I may have to hit Starbucks for a grande mocha frappuchino light.

You guys are making me thirsty.
