Dionysus, maybe? Fertility, wine, jazz. Works for me. Except I can't drink wine. Gives me terrible heartburn.

Ah, Scotch. Now we're talkin'. The Macallan is indeed great stuff...but Laphroaig? While excellent, it is also the most insane stuff I've ever had. It's been described as the "iodine beast." It has the peatiest, seaweediest, most iodine flavor imaginable (to me). I know that doesn't sound too appetizing, but it works.

I've read that it was the only spirit NOT made illegal during Prohibition--because it was classified as a medicinal!

Hmmm, I haven't had any for ages. Maybe it's time to spring for a bottle. It's Friday...

We're down in Kentucky tonight, so obviously I availed myself of a nip of the local bourbon arsenal. The bartender, either knowledgeable, lucky, or both, gave me a great rec based on my stated like of Buffalo Trace and Basil Hayden's. This is what he served up...

Old Pogue (Master's Select).

It did remind me of Basil Hayden's, and had some of that initial warmth of the Buffalo Trace. Definitely a crowd-pleaser (me, qualifying as a crowd). I had it straight, with two (small) ice cubes to bring out the aroma.
And actually, I've also had this a few times over the last few weeks.

Kentucky Ale: Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. I'm not entirely sure of the process exactly, but apparently they let their ale settle in recently used bourbon barrels. Whatever. It tastes awesome. It's full of flavor, vanilla being the most noticeable. Highly recommended. It's very drinkable, not syrupy or gimmicky. I mention it because, one, it tastes great, and two, I had been drinking it to start my night, but after having some of the Old Pogue, my next pint of Kentucky Ale tasted even better. I don't know if it's the pairing of the two or what, but if you can get both, I suggest you do. The scotch will have to stay on my backburner for the time being, but will not be forgotten. I'm in Kentucky, baby. We don't drink scawtch in these parts.
