Last night, cracked open the ol’ bottle of [correction: Laphroaig, need more coffee] 18-year Scotch, had a couple fingers of the stuff with a friend, drank down that warm smoky gold — I think I could taste the Druids they sacrificed in the bog.<\/p>\n
Mmm. Sacrificial booze.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t say I’m particularly well<\/em>-versed in the hard stuff, but I’ve got my choices. For gin, I love me some Bluecoat. For vodka, it’s Tito’s or it’s a punch to the mouth. Scotch I drink and enjoy more widely: right now, have bottles of Lagavulin, Balvenie Doublewood, and Johnny Walker in the Lazy Susan. (Yes, I keep all our booze in a Lazy Susan. Or, perhaps, a Lazy Boozan? Shut up.)<\/p>\n But one drinky-drink I’m not well-versed in is bourbon.<\/p>\n Few times I’ve had it in the past I found it to be a lot harsher than Scotch — instead of smooth and warm<\/em> we’re talking razors boiled in distilled water<\/em> — but that tells me I’m just not drinking the right stuff.<\/p>\n So, bourbon nerds, come together.<\/p>\n School a brother on your lovely drink.<\/p>\n What should I be drinking?<\/p>\n What should I be avoiding?<\/p>\n What don’t<\/em> I know about the stuff?<\/p>\n Bourbon: It’s What’s For Dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" But one drinky-drink I’m not well-versed in is bourbon.
