What are you drinking?

Unibroue Don de Dieu with some butternut squash and caramelized onion pizza.

The most ND post ever. Substitute the Unibroue for some Cabernet and you could pass for a Cardinal fan.

Is it bad that my first thought upon reading your post was that you wouldn't pair Cabernet with a butternut squash and caramelized onion pizza (for a red it would be Pinot Noir, for a white I would go with a Chardonnay, Chablis or Sauvignon Blanc)? I think I need help.

For local Brew Tuesday.

Saint Archer IPA. Just average. Some grassy herbalness, slight citrus and some grains.

I'm here for you. Just turn over your stash to me and we'll go from there ...

Yeah, take your sophisticated taste somewheres else, fancy pants! This here's a got damn 'Merican football fan site. If you ain't talking about pigskin, Budweiser, and huge tits, then hit the road, commie!

Nice. I work for the Ardbeg distributor (among thousands of others) and had never even heard of it.

You really can't go wrong with any of the German imports. Deutschlanders know their beer.

AleSmith Evil Dead Red. A hoppy red, one of my favorite styles. Big notes of citrus (grapefruit and orange) with caramel malt. A nice beer for October. I am thoroughly enjoying this beer.

I am missing the San Tan Count Hoppula right now.

Watching the Sox with a PBR tall boy... I bought a four pack to make chili and the other three cans have been neglected for weeks. I live in Gator country so I might as well embrace it.

In downtown Chi town tonight, finally getting my first taste of Laguintas. Little Sumpin' is a damn good IPA.


Also Greenbush Unicorn Killer.

So a buddy on mine met a guy recently.. this guy’s father owned a restaurant back in the 1960s that closed down. This guy’s family took all the liquor from the bar and boxed it up and just let it sit for 50 years. He just recently gave all of these bottles to my buddy… I am now in possession of an early 1960s bottle of Cutty Sark… unopened… not sure what to do with it really…

Thoughts?

Keep your expectations low and proceed cautiously. Cutty Sark is bottom shelf Scotch already, and any number of things could have happened over the last 50 years to spoil it-- extreme temperatures, exposure to sunlight, contact with the cork/ metal cap, etc.

Drink it. Or give it to me and I will drink it. It probably would not fetch a large sum of money if you try to sell it. So I vote that you open it up and drink it.

I have had rather good luck with older bottles (including a couple of bourbons from the 1910's, some blends and bourbons from the 1950's through the 80's) but you are right that a lot can go wrong after that long. Blends back then were generally better than current blends as they usually had a higher malt content and contained malt from the best distilleries that now provide almost none to blends. Also sometimes the whisky can change for the better due to what is called OBE (old bottle effect).

Edit: I should clarify, it probably won't be as good as a single malt but will probably be better than the current Cutty Sark bottles.

Not being much of a Whiskey guy.. or hard alch. in general... how would I know if something went wrong... ??

I would guess that it would taste bad or would taste differently than it should...kinda like skunky beer.


Stone's 17th anniversary Gotterdammerung IPA for me.

 

[pkt77242]

Karl Strauss Wreck Alley Imperial Stout. Roasted malt, cocoa, coffee and a little smoke and licorice. Overall pretty good but nothing special.

Pumpkick by new Belgium while smiling ear to ear watching the cards celebrate. Jealous all my buddies are there....I will be at the nlcs and World Series!

I had some George Dickel #12 last night. I was a little deep in my cups to recall specific tasting notes, but I liked it. Good value for the money.

A much better value than Jack Daniels, in my opinion.
