NJ Whisk(e)y Tasting RSVP Thread
 

To be held on fri, dec 2 at an after-dinner-ish hour in either princeton or new brunswick (i.e. somewhere in the "long ass train from penn station" zone). To include whisk(e)ys including but not limited to scotch and bourbon.

Anyway, if you are planning on attending, please RSVP in this thread with what you plan on bringing, so we can get a good assortment. All farther announcements will be made in this thread. I will get a reply in with whatever I buy the next time I'm near a liquor store.

The only rule is that anyone can come, but everyone who comes must bring a bottle. There's no need to go crazy and spend a lot of cash, and I trust that no one here will try to completely screw us over by bringing somehthing really [censored].

edit: also, suggestions on bottles to try from those not attending would be greatly appreciated.

Re: NJ Whisk(e)y Tasting RSVP Thread
 

I will come. Bottle yet undecided because I don't know anything about scotch, but diablo says he'll hook me up with a good rec once people pick what they're bringing.

Re: NJ Whisk(e)y Tasting RSVP Thread
 

I'm in as long as I can get there from the city. Does NJ transit run down there?

I also need suggestions on what to bring. My scotch experience is limited to Dewars and Chivas Regal.

Re: NJ Whisk(e)y Tasting RSVP Thread
 

I am there, bottle of obscurity in hand.

"The spelling whisky (plural whiskies) is generally used for those distilled in Scotland, Canada, and Japan, while whiskey (with an e; plural whiskeys) is used for the spirits distilled in Ireland and the United States; however, there are exceptions.

You are wrong on this one, d. Given the nature of this event, whisk(e)y is quite appropriate.
