    I have added a few bottles ,scotch is becoming harder to get here so I grabbed the last bottle of Glenfarclas 25 on the shelf .
    No projections on when we will see more come in.
    Good Bourbon is going up here too.
    Stocked up on stuff I like.
    Tonight I am having a Wild Turkey 101 over ice.
    This is a very reasonably priced high rye Bourbon, I believe it is still 10 years old but I'm sure the quality of the barrels has been sacrificed to retain low pricing.
    It was a gift, I like Bourbon over ice in the summer.
    I have added a few nice bottles to the cabinet.
    I have become so busy 4:30 am to 10:00 pm is killing me.
    After work pick up Conner and go to one or more to the following every day + church on Sunday.
    Conner's Baseball,Boxing or Basketball, H.O.A. meeting or business,City Counsel meetings.
    I have been doing a lot of public service stuff.
    Sorry to be away so long. Home today with the shingles!
    BTW: looking at the 2021-2022 Triumph Speedmaster ,anyone ride one yet?
    That's pretty much whats been up with me, I'm hoping everyones been good.

    Conner has been involved in so many sports and I am now the Vice President of our home owners association, been involved with the Union at work and working with Local city Council and the Mayor on a few things.
    I have been home with shingles, it's been like coming up for air.
    Enjoying a nice whiskey here and there, Had a Glennfidich 18 very nice bottle chocolate and stone fruits, very nice bottle for under $100.00.

    Well one way to improve your wine, particularly red, is to make your own. Start with a fantastic Italian variety Aglianico and voila. Which is probably why I sit in front of the Westies and the bottle improves as it disappears.

    I also wondered where you have been - shingles is awful, take it easy. Apparently being stressed can let it re-emerge.

    Fiddich 18 is a nice dram. very classy.. Sorry to hear of your illness; ive had shingles, although i was lucky(relatively) that the tablets they gave me worked as they got it diagnosed before it got to a certain stage and it aided its quicker healing and reduced pain a bit. Even at that it wasnt nice

    Had this bottle on display for some time. Time to open.

    Port Dundas 13yr old. Cask 12465. Bottled by Douglas Laing for its Old Particular series.

    This is a single grain whisky from a now closed distillery from 2009.
    No longer available widely this is a superb whisky, matured in bourbon barrels and starring in creamy Toffee, some apricots and a touch of chocolate.
    This is very nice but when it's gone it's gone
