Back when I was in college I came up with a way to make some easy money. I bought a barrel of white lightning. I would sell it to the college kids. The first bottle was a little higher but I would sell additional bottles a lot cheaper. The first bottle was the real thing and the other bottles were water. If they drank the first bottle they couldn't tell the next one was water.

I didn’t have orange and made a substitution of cherries for the garnish.

Toronto Cocktail Recipe
Here's a cocktail that helps the Fernet Branca-curious start off gently. The Toronto Cocktail pairs the Italian bitter with the crispness of rye whiskey and a little sugar.

Highland Park 12 year old scotch.
Working on a fifth this week as we completed clearing out the building. Finished it tonite and celebrated by finishing off the bottle.

Doc, I started with Voyage 2 from Jefferson's Ocean! Love it. I currently have a bottle of the WHEATED OCEAN from them. Not sure what Voyage it is. 20-something. Enjoy the OCEAN. Each voyage is unique. Some have a mild salt flavor (which is awesome) some not so much. Never had one that is not awesome.

The usual suspect. Burp. I stick with what I know. Can't do hard stuff.
Whistle Pig 15 Year Old Single Barrel bourbon.
15 year old scotch is not uncommon but for bourbon 15 year old is close to ancient. Quite pricy as it was a bottle in a sealed box in a sealed bag, (many multiple times over $50) but super smooth and not overly 'oaked' which is the risk with bourbon. In fact it is amazingly smooth and mellow, despite being well over 100 proof. If not for the price this would be a great choice as an 'everyday' bourbon!
Scotch is often aged in barrels that were previously used and previously had bourbon or rye in the barrel. Scotch is often aged for 15, 20 or more years. But bourbon is aged in newly charred white oak barrels and so it can run the risk of being too charred or too oaked if the aging is long. That is far less an issue (non-issue?) with Scotch in previously used barrels.

FWIW, I picked up a bottle of Jefferson's Ocean TROPICAL tonight.More Jefferson's Ocean Voyage 28 for me.
Shipped to a jungle. Aged in high humidity. Then finished aged in Singapore.
Looking forward to trying this bottle soon.
Jefferson's does some really amazing things. Some are 'hits' and others a 'misses' but all are interesting.
First release of Jefferson's TROPICS, which is shipped on a boat across the Pacific to a jungle in Asia, aged in high humidity, then finished in Singapore. Quite spicy. Like pepper spice. And 104 proof. But I've spent an entire day at Notre Dame painting, fixing, upgrading and generally being a 'dad' to Dasha so that her apartment is a nice place for her to spend her senior year "off" campus. I deserve a nice pour.

Gettn' olt?
British TV personality from TOP GEAR, then from THE GRAN TOUR and now from CLARKSON'S FARM fame has some alcohol available made from some of the crops grown on his farm.
I bought 3 items. So far I've tasted 2 of them.
The tinned Gin, with a strong juniper berry aroma would simply be awesome in a Gin & Tonic on a hot summer day with a slice of lime. The "hot gin" that is distilled with peppers from the farm is actually a great gin for drinking neat. And I a not a big fan of gin.

I'm so excited to enjoy an A&W Root Beer tonight! 
It's been forever since I've had one.

Got a bottle of bourbon as a gift. Opened it tonight.
Round Barn Bourbon. It is fairly local to me, just about an hour drive away.
They claim:
Now honestly I don't know what Cherry Wood tastes like, but I did taste some vanilla. In the mouth the flavor is VERY mild. As in pretty close tasteless. Sorry to say that, and I am not trying to complain about a gift. But there is very little flavor to this bourbon. It goes over your tongue easily, but once it goes down your gullet there is a distinct burn. Sometimes on the first sip of a new whiskey I experience that, but usually the 2nd sip that is a non-issue. Not with this one. Every sip was nearly flavorless and every sip burned on the way down.
Probably best to relegate this to "mixer" status and use it in a drink that has other strong flavors and just needs a whisky base.
Just my opinion, yours may be very different.

Baroda Straight Bourbon
Tasting Notes: Cherry Wood • Vanilla • White Pepper
Aged 3+ years in new charred American oak barrels, handcrafted in Michigan. 705 local non-GMO corn is the perfect backbone for this rye-styled spicy straight bourbon. Excellent after dinner to sip neat, on the rocks, or in a Manhattan.

It was New Years Eve or as we say in Scotland, Hogmanay, so I had a glass of the Balvenie Double wood. Actually, I had a couple of glasses.
