Its a shame you can't buy liquor at the Costco in Roch, they have good deals out here on spirits.
That's a very nice Scotch. I've recently been enjoying a 15 year Dalwhinnie... cheap, but solid.
Fun scotch story.... I was recently on a business trip and was having one of "those" evenings in the hotel bar. I ordered my go to 10 yr Macallan and as she poured my 2ozs neat, I noticed the bottle was almost empty... we made eye contact and she topped off my drink and tossed the bottle. The weather in Houston that night was terrible, tropical storm like with flood warnings and power outages... the power had already gone out and in the hotel twice, and the generators were keeping the party going. For whatever reason I decided to step out on the porte-cochere and take in the storm. After a few minutes I went back in and went to finish my drink (that I'd walked outside with), and it was full of mosquitos/flies. Unbeknownst to me, they enjoy scotch, especially when they are hiding from the rain, I guess.
I took my sullied drink to the bar, and before I could explain what happened, the bartender saw the flies, gasped, dumped it out, and poured me 6 ozs of the 15 year on the house

Coke. Trying to be a sober man
Night Shift Santilli IPA is unbeatable.
Ballast point sculpins (all but the habanero one) are rock solid.
Rohrbach space kitty never lets down.
I'm an IPA snob sadly.

My favorite drink, when I have the time to make it, is an old fashioned. This is my recipe of choice because its somewhat simple.

Ends up being pretty hard to mess up, even though i don't often have the rocks ice that goes well with it. The Amaro can be a bit annoying to find, but a well stocked liquor store should have it.
As beers go, A good dank IPA or Wheat beer in the summer. A nice brown ale or stout in the late fall/winter.
I'm actually living in St. Louis these days, and you can get liquor at the Costco here!
BTW, if any of you beer-drinkers ever find yourselves in the area, do yourself a favor and check out Side Project brewery. It's a shame they don't ship out of state, so you can't get their beer anywhere else (at least not commercially), because it's hands-down the best beer I've ever had. They're particularly well-known for their sours, but they also make a mean stout. I know I'm gonna sound like a snob for talking about "mouthfeel," but you know how most stouts are kind of viscous and leave your mouth feeling sort of dry and sticky? Not Side Project's. It drinks like a porch beer.
You are like a verse about running away with the bartender away from this being a country song.

definite candidate for the Bullwer-Lytton prize...Actually, the next verse is about how I tried for hours to get Uber eats to deliver Denny's in the middle of a tropical storm/flood...
I'll be back in Buffalo in June, July, August, Sept., & October. Will have to hunt some up!! Friend of the family used to be one of the head honchos with Hasek's Heroes. Don't know if he's still involved or not.I'll try this because it's for a good cause.
