Oh god... Prune juice attack...!!!!

Now there's a surprise!

The Bad Dad: one part Irish whiskey and two parts prune juice.

Hmm...y'know, that might make prune juice paalatable.

anyone ever tried a cigar branded "Savoy" i used to get them in the local B & M and was told they were the clippings from AF and Ashton cigars (like the PF's and such) they were full size cigars and pretty decent for th $.90 ea price point.

Over the Holidays, I bought myself a bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey (not the expensive bottle), this one was on sale for $19.xx.  And I have to say, "I'm really not that crazy about it."  To me it taste like 65% Scotch and 35% poor whiskey.  I was really surprised that it tasted like Scotch.  I guess that's silly of me to think that, but there's no mention of it being Scotch...

it's whiskey made on and island near the north sea.  What other islands are near there? can someone say Scotland?

Still very different whiskeys. One could posit that any similarities had to do with the historical marital ties between the Jamesons and the Haigs, but one would be wrong.  Jameson whiskeys are now researched and blended primarily to suit the American taste. There's a bit of a Scotch fad going on in the US, so...you can do the math.

I like Jameson just fine, but when I want Irish whiskey, I drink the Paddy, which was introduced to me by the Geary family of Seattle - Irish immigrants who own the Owl & Thistle pub.

Really not a big fan of Irish Whiskey. Like Scotch and American Whiskeys, you have your choice of blended vs. single malt.   I will drink Tullamore Dew when in Tullamore, Jameson is doable, but if given a choice, Redbreast, Connemara or Kappogue Castle.

It's almost like having Joe back on today.

Time to get this weekend thing underway. Heading out to a Brazilian steakhouse with the wife tonight, so the meat sweats will be real later. Hazzuh!

I like Redbreast.  Haven't had Connemara or Kappogue. Most of the Irish whiskey comes from the same distillery, the differences are in the manufacturing.  But if I'm going to blow high dough on whiskey, I'm more inclined to buy good Scotch.  For daily drinking, I drink the cheaper stuff.  Canadian Club, Paddy, Wild Turkey 101, and JW Black.

That sounds like fun. Went for Peruvian ceviche  a couple of nights ago and it was outstanding. Enjoy.

can't remember is it ceviche or piaia that is essentially raw seafood that is marinated in citrus to "cook" it? Had the Cuban version, damn good!
