What are you drinking?

A recent house guest game me this. I have not broken it open yet.

How are you guys storing open bottles?

Keep them in a cool place and out of the sunlight. The only problem that I have had was the cork falling apart. The cork problem also can be a problem with an unopened new bottle too.

Had a lovely Manhattan at lunch with the missus.

Once this porterhouse settles a bit, I've got a fresh jar of corn squeezin's that needs some proper QA/QC conducted.
 
Two thumbs up on that new fruit jar. Smooth & a tiny bit sweet. Some spice on the back end & a lingering "afterglow". I'd guesstimate it's around 110 or so. Might hafta try to get some more of this to lay back.
 
Well, I'm not drinking it but......

A friend of mine is in Louisville on business and sent me these pics last night, says it's the private tasting room at the downtown Marriott.

Been working in Charleston SC the past few weeks. Being out of town sucked but when I come home I do try to bring some of those advantages back with. Like fresh oysters, fresh shrimp, fresh flounder, fresh scallops, etc.

Makes for some good whiskey pairings.

And despite having some "nicer" bourbons around, Knob Creek and Pabst will forever be my sentimental favorite to pair with raw oysters.

Glad you came by for that one @Studentofthegun

That was an awesome time! Thank you for letting me crash the party.
 
I want to change up things so I pulled this off the shelf instead of a bourbon.
And yes, I the washing machine is next to my whiskey cabinet and it makes it easy to pour a drink.

Working on a little Buffalo Trace then going to try my Infinity Blend. If i do not check in tonight or tomorrow the Infinity blend did me in.20200227_173118.jpg
 
The Infinity bottles was interesting. The first sip really was not much but before it went down there was differently a unique taste. Only had one pour. Maybe after it sits for a little while the flavors will blend better together.
 
Going to give this another shot tonight. Not a fan of the smokey peaty Islay single malts normally, but this wasn't a cheap bottle so I'm determined to like it.

Picked up a few bottles for tasting. Isaac Bowman struck my curiosity because it followed a similar process like Angel's Envy (Port Barrel process). I.B. was also about 1/2 the cost.

Connemara peated Irish whiskey & ginger ale.

I know, I know... I love Irish whiskey & big smokey, peaty Islay malts, but peated Irish just doesn't work for me.

Goes nice with ginger ale, though.
