What Will You Be Drinking Election Night? [Vanity}

Another weekend vanity. :)

What will you be drinking election night? Will it vary depending on the outcome?

I ordered a few fine bottles of Scotch from Master of Malt last spring. Because I got the very last bottle produced from this select cask, one of my neighbor friends in our little enclave here decided that, win or lose, we would open and consume this rare and highly rated cask strength Islay Single Malt called “Berry’s Own Selection”; an unchillfiltered batch made by Caol Ila Distillery in Port Askaig in 1980. It was drawn in 2011 from Cask #4938 and bottled by Berry Brothers & Rudd, a London firm started in 1698, who apparently won the Whiskey Magazine “Icons of Whiskey Independent Bottler of the Year Award” two years ago when they bottled up this treasure.

The description on the bottle, besides some history, is enticing: “This expression gives subtle yellow fruit skin aromas with outcrops of linseed and polished leather, Balkan Sobranie tobacco and brine. The palate is unctuous, again fruity, (apple crumble), and manifests a peaty, oaky structure. A fine old Caol Ila, this finishes with a savoury, briny appeal.”

Ummm, ummm, ummm.

Whether to mourn the death or celebrate the possible resuscitation of our nation, this nectar should be appropriate for a night whose memory is not likely to fade in whatever time we have left.

Anyone else making any plans, libatious or otherwise, for the grand evening?

Henlock, if The Usurper wins.........

[windcliff]

Anything and everything.

Hemlock, if The Usurper wins.........

[AbnSarge]

Connemara Irish.

How much depends on who wins.

[Andrei Bulba]

The life blood of the democrat party.

[Patrick1]

Well it depends. Victory then it will be beer as the results come in and a fine glass of aged scotch to wrap up the evening.

Loss, bread and water, might has well get a jump start on the next four year’s economy.

Because the Obama years have taken unite the hit on my budget. If Romney wins I will get some Johny black.

[Flightdeck]

That’s the great thing about booze; it works for victory or defeat

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Famous Grouse.Win or lose.

[samadams2000]

$125 Bottle of Middleton Irish Whiskey. On ice.

[ThunderSleeps]

Tennessee whiskey, eating bacon, and I’ll have several loaded firearms and a Bible within arms reach. In other words, a Muslim-loving liberal’s nightmare.

[Tax-chick]

Pink shlock in a 5-liter box.

[Flycatcher]

I'll be drinking something comparable.

Boxed wine. Coffee mug.

[IM2MAD]

I hope my Dem friends drink koolaid.

“Loss, bread and water, might has well get a jump start on the next four year’s economy.”

I guess bread and water is just another step down from the bread and circuses he’s handing out now.

[TheConservativeParty]

Moscato D’Asti from Italy. My new favorite celebratory drink.

Pacifico. What can I say, I love Mexican beer.

[CTyank]

Van Winkle Lot B... if I can find a bottle somewhere before the election is over.

Me too, they got that and their music from German immigrants.

[mozarky2]

I’ll just join you for the Caol Ila-give me the directions to your house!

[Friendofgeorge]

Non alcohol beverages in our home, maybe some hot coffee with skim milk.

Expectations very low for election night. I think the masses are still controlled by MSM and their stable of pollsters, despite internet, talk radio etc. In fact I think the MSM has strengthened recently it`s hold on the masses.

[jmax]

Being the unsophisticated dummy that I am, and not having a clue what you're talking about in your description of a bottle of booze, I'm going to have a Bud.

If anyone desires, I'll go to Google and copy and paste a post of what Bud is made from and famous for.

[wolfpat]

How about Black Bush?

[mass55th]

The same as usual...caffeine-free diet Pepsi.

[Red Badger]

Tequila shooters. One for each Romney state.........

My doctor told me to drink one shot of bourbon for each Gary Johnson state.

I’ll be at work.

Coffee or Co-cola.

[Red Badger]

Methinks thou shall be stone cold sober........

[Tanniker Smith]

Nothing. I have to get up for work in the morning and I don’t want to be making trips to the bathroom all night!

[Mad Dawgg]

Awesome Geek points for knowing that, BONUS GEEK Point question name the Character in the Picture with Captain Kirk AND name the brother of the actor playing that Character.

(If you can do this without Google then you are among the Elite Geeks on the planet.)

If Obama wins:
a whole lotta moonshine

If Obama loses:
The sweet, sweet tears of the local SIEU, in a crystal glass lined with 24K goldplate, wearing a balloon giraffe of Romney happiness on my head, dancing outside the hotel balcony where I’ll be, in my ad-hoc Romney-themed underwear.

[Jonah Hex]

Without googling, the actor is Clint Howard, brother of Ron Howard. Do I get to be an Elite Geek?

[Gabz]

I drink the same thing I drink any other night......whatever I feel like drinking. Usually beer.

[varina davis]

Maybe a nice Chianti.....

[BipolarBob]

I’m going to bite the Bulleit.

[p. henry]

Any wine that goes well with a roasted beet and goat cheese salad. Picked a few beets from the garden this afternoon, roasted them up, and combined them with some chevre. Outstanding! I’ll duplicate the dish on election night and serve it with an Italian red or a California cab. That way, without regard to the result, at least I will be happy with our food and drink.

[Just another Joe]

I see we share a taste in Mexican beer.

[p. henry]

With some fava beans?

[Just another Joe]

A goblet of fine Zenfendel Port.
