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?
If Romney wins.......Glennfiddich (a wee dram).
If Obama wins.....Jägermeister....well, because, I’m DONE.

If I can afford a 6-pack.
Pacifico. What can I say, I love Mexican beer.
Van Winkle Lot B... if I can find a bottle somewhere before the election is over.
Hopefully not crying in my beer
Me too, they got that and their music from German immigrants.
I’ll just join you for the Caol Ila-give me the directions to your house!
Tranya
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.
If anyone desires, I'll go to Google and copy and paste a post of what Bud is made from and famous for.
How about Black Bush?
The same as usual...caffeine-free diet Pepsi.
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.
Methinks thou shall be stone cold sober........
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!
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.)
