We visited our younger son in southern Georgia, and had a great visit. My DIL purchased a bottle that was kind of surprising, although she knew I'd find it interesting. Nope -- not wine -- mushroom elixir. I have no idea if it does what is claimed, but it was an interesting drink.
Friday night we did a Scotch tasting of what my son had in his collection, ordered from left to right by his estimation. Generally my elder son and I agreed, although the McClelland (mildly peaty) and the Singleton are too different to compare except by preference.
Yesterday we stopped at a local liquor store and each purchased a bottle, all of which are very good, and also too different to easily compare:
The Glenmorangie is Bourbon barrel aged and Port barrel finished, giving it a floral aroma and taste. Very nice. The High Rye was a surprise, as we'd not heard of a Scotch rye before, and it exceeded expectations. The JW Double Black is worth the price difference above the normal JW Black.
Last night we listened to a band in the park, and I sampled a local stout, also quite good.
