Colt45 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Jaume Serra Cristalino Rosé Brut - a go to cava for me, and at $9 (often $7 on sale), a sparkling value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 La Maison du Cremant Cremant de Bourgogne Brut Rose. Wonderful - light in texture but with real body and mouthfeel. Brut, but not palate stripping dry - round but not sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.T Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Lovely afternoon and evening so time for the first bbq of the season. Given how nice a day it was and spending the whole day in the yard thought to break out the Caipirinhas...

sengjc Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 First day of winter in the Southern Hemisphere hence I am breaking out the heavy beers, ales and stouts. Innis & Gunn, the original oak aged beer and the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnS Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 On a cold Sydney night.. Oban 14 y.o. Agreed...ridiculously cold in the last week. What was the cigar that went with the Oban? I'd imagine it would be harder to smoke in this very cold weather! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris77 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 it's an NC (honduran 50 gauge)...can't remember the marca..was a bit hard to smoke but not as bad as you think even though it was quite cold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM-US Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Rum and margaritas tonight: Hawaiian Ko'Loa dark rum- tastes like vanilla extract, but works in margaritas. George Bowman dark rum- bottled by A. Smith Bowman in Virginia, but is a sourced rum- one friend said Jamaica, I thought possibly Barbados. Tastes like an English navy-style rum, with no added sugar. Pretty tasty. Margaritas made with Hawaiian rum, tequila, mango juice and crushed ice. Frozen old-fashioned made with Barrell Bourbon, mango juice, orange and chocolate bitters. Some assorted other things- High West Bourye, Rendezvous Rye, and some Glenmorangie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jat Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Last nights drinks: I haven't had much Bunnahabhain, if any at all and I am quite taken by its style. It is deliciously light and gentle with plenty of maritime-coastal notes. Just a hint of peat to round it off and to remind that this is still an Islay. Something to have when you tire of those big bruiser type Islays. Agree with your comments about the Bunnahabhain, one of my wife's favourites and very different from the other Islays. Got her another 18 yo for her B'day recently. Afraid she'll be expecting it over the 12 yo for all future purchases. What did you think of the Starward? I admire what the lads (ex-brewers I think) are up to, but think I'll give them a few more years to settle things in. Might have to get a bottle soon to see the progress.

It's a good first effort at a wine cask matured wine. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surucipe Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Bought this out of curiosity but it turns out to be really excellent, unlike any other whisky I've ever tasted but excellent nontheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sengjc Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Dobson's Empire 8 Triple Distilled Single Malt Australian Whisky by Eastview Estate from a sample bottle. Bottled at 60% and predominantly consisting of the 'heart' of the distillation. Matured in Shiraz, Chardonnay and Madeira casks. Not much on the nose, just a gentle faint sweetness. The palate starts off sweet with a strong aniseed tinge, almost like a Caribbean rum mixed with Schnapps. Vibrant notes of tangerine, vanilla, custard and caramel that slowly fades with some woody nuances - now it feels more familiar like a bourbon whisky. Nice oily consistency, quite approachable - starts a little prickly, quickly becoming smooth and finishes warming. Not really as intense as I would expect from a whisky bottled at 60% and probably would benefit from additional depth of flavour but it is an interestingly unique experience, nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
