The whole mob is coming here for Christmas. We’ll have 12 people and 6 dogs, and it’ll be a madhouse. That’s all good, but my preparatory alcohol stocks are never right. I get a bunch of beer, but they hit the Vodka. I get vodka and they hit the tequila. Nobody ever hits the Gin or Scotch. So this year I overstocked on about everything (except Gin or Scotch, of course). And there’s already plenty of bourbon and wine. I hope they’ll drink most of it, since Doctor’s orders are for me to quit drinking. I may need to ask the Forum to help ‘dispose’ of some booze.

I believe you would have plenty of volunteers.

You must have a younger crowd if the Scotch isn't getting hit. It seems to be more appreciated by the older guys.

That brings up a question. The Scotch I have was a gift from a guy that was a pilot for a small company, and when they closed the business, he had a huge supply of various alcohols. Gave a bunch to me, and the scotch is all that hasn’t been consumed. It’s Chivas, and must be 40 years old, plus how long it was aged. I wonder if it’s still drinkable.

I’ve never been a Scotch drinker, though I have had some Famous Grouse (in an English Pub) that I thought was pretty good.

We keep a little of everything (and a lot of whisky) on hand.

So I guess aged in a bottle isn't the same as aged in a barrel? In other words, it doesn't get better after it's bottled?

Although I don't have a full bottle of gin, I'm hoping my mother-in-law with either have a couple of G&Ts, or else a lot of champagne. She's a lot more tolerable that way.

Other than the normal stuff we have, I like to pick up a bottle of this for Yuletide libation.

Paloma’s are always a big hit. Picked up stuff to make whiskey sours and found a nice bottle of EH while I was there.

That is one dirty martini! What did you do, show it a picture of a bottle of vermouth?

No drinking for me this holiday, but as of late it’s been Redbreast 12 and ice.

Pretty heavy pour of olive juice.
