What are you drinking tonight?

The other night I had orange vanilla polar seltzer water mixed with Hennessy. Don't ask why. Regardless, it wasn't bad!

I can't ever drink Apfelkorn again for that very reason.

Captain Morgan for me in that situation.

I like Johnny Walker. Whisky is meant to be savored as an after-dinner sort of thing. A swallow or two and you're good. Not something to knock shots back of.

You can, but I don't like pure vodka and rum. With beer, you usually need several per person, so you'd have to plan ahead carefully to get a range of brands for switching.

With whisky, you just build a small collection. Then each bottle lasts for months and you can you have a range to pick from ready at any time.

You can do that with wine, but you need more bottles. I'm still not really a wine drinker though.

If you're ever in the southwest of England, Marian, there's a great pub in Devon called the Nobody Inn that has getting on for 250 different types of whisky available. It's in a little village called Doddiscombsleigh on the way up to Dartmoor from Exeter so is very difficult to find, but definitely worth a visit. Here's a linkage thingy:

By the way, the spelling whiskey (with an 'e') usually denotes Irish whiskey over here, while whisky denotes that it is from Scotland.

I'll try to remember that should I ever end up in the vicinity.

Yup. There doesn't seem to be an awful lot of Irish whiskey though, right? At least when I was in Ireland last spring, most pubs focused on Scotch whisky.

Last night, a few bottles of Stella Artois (the 4.8% stuff). Dunno how it landed its 'wife-beater' reputation (it's hardly the only 'premium strength' lager available), but what the hell.

Strange. I haven't heard of that. Restaurants in Manhattan wouldn't mind charging you $9 for a Stella draft.

Pretty tasty beer, though.
