That's a very interesting bill, Dylan, high rye and barley, should be pretty rich.

Enjoying some Bulleit Bourbon and an Arturo Fuente cigar on my back porch on this 73 degree Columbus Day:

Spey blades are great for digging out flies from the bourbon glass! (I made the bastard spit it out first!)

Oh, this is good stuff! It's good to share. (Got a bottle of the Grande Réserve too.)

I think I shall buy some Chimay for my birthday in two weeks, and post a picture of it with my new Laguiole in this thread, une fois!

It was two weeks ago. Happy birthday Prester John. Santé!.

Trying a new whiskey this evening. This one is distilled and bottled in my old home town of Sheridan, OR.

Not too shabby for a younger tasting whiskey, a little on the sweet side towards the finish.

Very interesting Dylan There's been a big noise here about Yorkshire gins the last few years. They have little interest to me, and I'm hoping Yorkshire whisky is in vogue next

Happy Saturday!

Fine pair of knives there Taylor

The wine is nice, but the knife is exceptional: Laguiole Honoré Durand, with olive wood scales.

And let's hope you like it better than Welsh whiskey.
This is what's left of a bottle of Aberfeldy, a non-peaty single malt from the Dewars people. (My sister took the last of it home in the bottle, but I suspect this snifter has outlasted her bottle.

Killing me with the Scotch Egg picture donn ! There's only one pub near me that serves them. Every once in a while the wife and I make the trip for an order and a Guinness. Strange combination, but it always hits the spot!

I'm afraid I have never been too keen on gin myself, Jack. Although I have had folks tell me that I just haven't had a good one yet... It is an alcohol that smells like a cleaning product and I've never taken to it. If Yorkshire decides to produce a good whisky, I would certainly be interested in trying it.

I am having an interesting Lager this evening. It is a collaboration between High West Distillery and Ballast Point Brewery. I am a big fan of High West whiskeys and Ballast Point makes a fine beer so you'd think they both could manage a decent beverage together. You wouldn't be wrong, it is a fine, albeit interesting, lager. Smooth, creamy, with hints of vanilla and bourbon. I guess they take a lager and blend it with beer that has been aged in High West bourbon barrels.

Interesting, but tasty, stuff.

My favourite channel on Youtube is 'Townsends'. He's a chap who does historical 18th century North American Colonial cooking. There fascinating to watch and of course copy.
Here's the link for his Scotch egg video.

And I can't remember who it was, but one of the members who frequents the Guardians thread did a post about cooking up some Scotch eggs.
I've never tried them with Guinness but it sure sounds like something to try.

McMeakos Scotch Eggs are mcawesome and mceasy to mcmake.....Ill have a mcgo in me mcnew mckitchen ...cookin with mcgas mcnow....the perfect food for picnics....ask the butcher for sausage mince....

Had a few beers in Fredericksburg at Octoberfest, but I don't think they allowed knives for some reason. Here's a pic from the hotel pool (where they don't allow glass bottles!):

Plastic beer glasses are a travesty...I agree but I can also imagine the carnage.

The Scotch Egg imo is best accompanied by a woody Chardonnay....and fresh shucked oysters.....greek salad....another bottle of chardy and a romp in the long grass.
