Super Thread LXXV: Remembering forgotten memories

[Bazal]

I miss beer. I've dropped 5kg since I temporarily gave it up, but I miss it.

I'm stuck on about 90kg now so maybe a few beers will be in order up in Cairns next week.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

68kg. 180cm tall. Free range.

 

[Bazal]

f**k you

182cm, 90kg. That said 87 odd kg was my playing weight when I played footy. So I'm not unhappy at all at 90. I just put weight on easy these days.

dropping beer is a great way to drop weight..

i've switched to pretty much exclusive scotch..

and thanks to a decent arrangement, i can drink relatively good scotch at a very cheap price..

was enjoying an 18yr single malt on tuesday night..

just finished off a bottle of 8yr single grain irish whiskey that i've been working my way through since january..

got a few variants of highland park that i'll be starting around anzac day weekend..

I still drink red, which isn't great for me, but having a wine drinkers palate I can't always do straight scotch as a session thing....and I'm buggered if I'm mixing what I have at the moment. From memory I have a 1L Glenfiddich 18yo, a Glenfiddich Original, a Glenfiddich 15yo Distillery Edition, a Glenmorangie 10yo, a Laphroiag 10yo, a Laphroiag Quarter Cask, a Lagavulin 16yo, a Bruichladdich 20yo, a Caol Ila 12yo, a Talisker 10yo, a Lark Distillery whiskey of some description and a Nant Distillery Sherry Cask.

Plus some Jameson reserve.

I might have a problem.....

I'll do it for a plate of corn muffins. They better not be lousy.

A problem?
The burden of choice?
The bruichladdich is quality stuff, what do you have from the lark?

 

[Bazal]

And so should I!

Problem is I've been drinking gin lately. And cognac when it's cold.

 

[Bazal]

The Cask Strength, it turns out.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Gin?

Oh, f**k off.

 

[Bazal]

Gin?

Oh, f**k off.

I'm an alcoholi.....I mean, a professional liquor sales person. You'd be hard pressed to find a spirit I don't drink

I do love gin though

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

The Cask Strength, it turns out.

Oh, yeah! That's really incredible stuff.

 

[Bazal]

Oh, yeah! That's really incredible stuff.

It is bloody good. That said, I preferred the Nant when I was in Tassie.

Actually, I preferred the Nant to the award winning Sullivans Cove....

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

I've not tried anything from there yet. I'll look it up

 

[Bazal]

They were stunning whiskies I thought. The Sullivans Cove was very good, but maybe because of the hype it was a little bit of a let down...I don't regret paying $30 for a glass, because I'm never gonna taste it again, but I personally didn't think it lived up to the award. Better off getting a different batch for way less money and honestly just about indistinguishable quality.

 

[muzby]

you could probably buy nant itself for around $50..

not just a bottle.. the whole distillery..

 

[Bazal]

f**k mate I wish....$100+ for a 500ml bottle.
