btw, i've had some dimple pinch (i haven't seen the original out here) and it was delicious and affordable. a perfect combo!
Sure I'm sure. Bols is a dutch company. And in the Netherlands the drink itself is called jenever.

Wanna be MY brother? That's a wonderful gift - all The Glenlivets' are superb - particularly The Glenlivet 18.

I don't know how many of you are rocks guys, but I just got some ice molds that make spheres of ice. It's magical. They melt super slow and keep whatever you're drinking nice and cold.

those spheres look awesome! i'm gonna have to pick up a set of those. i pretty much always drink bourbon on the rocks, though i almost always enjoy scotch and irish whiskey neat.

Is there any other way than "OTR"?

Simple law of physics - very clever - gonna get me some of those.

24.12.2012		So it was my 40th birthday last week and guess what my friends thought would be good to buy me. You believe people know me well?

24.12.2012		my girlfriend picked this up for my birthday present. we were going to get a bottle of glenmorangie signet on sale, but they ended up selling out so i got this and will pick up another scotch as well. this is some tasty stuff right here!

23.12.2012		It boggles me why it states attachments from time to time to be honest.

But when it looks like an image while editing, just double click the image and followed said steps.
Cole Maroto
23.12.2012		can someone please tell me how to make the images full size? i saw tekki explain it in another thread:

"Edit post, double click image, select full size, save post"

but when i edit the post all i see is "[ATTACH=CONFIG]number[/ATTACH]"

if i go to advanced edit and manage attachments i don't see any such options. i've tried uploading directly from my pc and from my girlfriend's instagram. not sure what i'm doing wrong here.

22.12.2012		I've been rotating between Wild Turkey 101 and Woodford Reserve. If you get a chance and like the burn check the Wild Turkey Rare Breed, barrel proofed superb small batch booze. Last bottle I picked up was 114 proof, with a baptised by fire smoothness, with all the fun complexity hidden until a few shots in, definitely on the rocks if by glass, but I thought better neat in shots.

19.12.2012		here's a pic from a little while ago...it's missing a few of our newer bottles and we have since moved the collection into 2 cabinets so there's a little more room to maneuver.

i've surprisingly never had woodford, which seems kinda crazy. that black maple hill sounds awesome but i'm not sure if we have that here. the bottle looks remotely familiar so i will check for it next time i'm at total wine. thanks for the recommendation.

So elegantly described S - you've convinced me to broaden my horizons. Will go shopping later & let you know.
