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?

Anything and everything.

Connemara Irish.
How much depends on who wins.
The life blood of the democrat party.
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.
That’s the great thing about booze; it works for victory or defeat
Famous Grouse.Win or lose.
$125 Bottle of Middleton Irish Whiskey. On ice.
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.
Pink shlock in a 5-liter box.
Boxed wine. Coffee mug.
I hope my Dem friends drink koolaid.

I guess bread and water is just another step down from the bread and circuses he’s handing out now.
Moscato D’Asti from Italy. My new favorite celebratory drink.
