How I spent my Thursday evening

How I started my day today

On a recommendation, just bought some Smokeshead Scotch. I usually stick to Scotch from the Highlands, as Islay Scotches are a little too peaty, but this was recommended by a very reliable source.

Waiting for a chance to grill steaks before I open it up. Love Scotch right before (or with) a great steak.

If you like fine Cognac, I highly recommend Kirkland XO, from Costco. Unlike most other XO Cognacs, which are perhaps 10 years old, this one is a blend of Cognacs that are 12 to 23 years old--and age is everything in Cognacs. Best I've every tasted for less than $50.

Thanks for the recommendation Turnbull

You're welcome, Irishman. If you try it, please post a review.

Will do but I'll be honest, I'm not much of a cognac fan straight up. Whiskey finished in cognac isn't bad.
