[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 453625, member: 3"] Finished off a bottle of Redbreast single pot still irish whiskey I got for christmas from my brother. Amazing stuff, really. Needs to be appreciated neat in something like a Glencairn glass as it's aromas get lost in a bucket glass. I'm on the wagon for a while now, for a couple of different reasons. Went for my biannual DOT physical and my blood pressure was a bit high, and I've put on a few pounds over the holidays. In addition, lately I've been having a drink every night out of habit (just some cheap scotch) and noticed that I'm not really enjoying it so much and the drinks are getting larger and I'm not sleeping well at night. So, back to the routine I was doing before where I hit the gym at least 4 times a week, eat less, eat healthier, and stop drinking. Actually my old pattern was to allow myself 2 drinks a week and there was no noticeable ill effect, but I need to get back into a better state of fitness first so it's abstinence for a while. But my youngest daughter is getting married the last week of June and we are headed out of state for a week to attend. We will be sharing a vacation rental with my brothers family and my mother, so a very good bottle of single malt will make the journey with me and I then jump down off the wagon. Now I just have to keep watching the shelves when I go in to pick up my wifes weekly vino allotment. I'm sure something will jump off the shelf at me. [/QUOTE]
