Tony,

Your question will be answered below.

El D,

Thanks for helping with recomendations and ordering. I owe you a drink when you come back to NY.

To whom it may concern:

7:00: It's cold.
7:03: catch connecting train
7:05: It's cold.
7:10: catch train to new brunswick
7:30: It's really cold.
7:40: Get to KDawg's. Open a beer. It's beer. Hooraaaay beer!
7:45: Evan arrives
7:45:01: Short jokes ensue.
8:00: People finish arriving. Look up El D's suggested tasting order.
8:01. mmmmmm Scotch.
8:01:01: Evan bitches about hating scotch
8:05: Kdawg is plastered.
9:00: Pizza arrives
9:01: Pizza mysteriously disappears
9:01:01: mmm scotch. tastebuds beginning to disappear(?)
11:00: more pizza arrives
12:00: cork breaks whist trying to open Laphroig 10.
12:01: 2nd bottle of Laphroig 10 gets opened
12:01:01: no one likes it.
12:10: Evan plays online tiddlywinks with Kdawg's money
12:15: I realize the last train to pton leaves in 20 mins and open the last bottle
12:15:01: I feel ready to throw up because i think i just drank an ashtray. I realize that it was actually bob's sccotch and feel bad.
12:25: Start walking to train station. It feels remarkably less cold outside.
12:38: My train is late.
12:40: It starts snowing. I call Evan to bitch that it's snowing.
12:41: The snow stops. Nothing stuck to the ground.
12:42: Get on train and somehow make it home without passing out and winding up in trenton.

It was great seeing/meeting all of you. Special thanks go to:
Kdawg, for hosting and buying pizza.
Tony, for buying more pizza and bringing glasses.
Vish, for bringing 3 bottles.
Evan, for coming an hour into Jersey for an event dedicated to a drink he hates.

My favorites from the night were the Balvenie 12 doublewood, Oban 14, and that bourbon Vish brought. Upon farther reflection, the Caol Ila 18 would likely have been really awesome if there were cigars involved.

Best,
Ed

what ed is leaving out is that I had already had like 4 or 5 beers before we started drinking the scotch(two of which were pints)


my walk back from the train station was fun. I very surpised with all of the cops that were out that I didn't get a public drunkeness ticket.

Ed gave a good summery. I was too drunk to notice much of anything after about 10. I don't remember when vish left and I don't remember ed leaving. I'd also like to thank everyone for coming, I had a great time

It was a great night. I agree with Evan, I'm still not a scotch drinker. However, just meeting everyone I hadn't before and hanging out made the trip down more than worth it.

I must say, there is nothing like taking a drink and feeling like you are chowing down on what's left the next morning in the fireplace.

I woke up this morning, "mouth dry, dehydrated, need water, too tired to get up." Gandor squints at clock... "Girldfriend be home from work soon, let her get water." zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

[tonypaladino]

The smokey scotchs weren't too bad. It was just unexpected. I think my first reaction was "It's like drinking a brisket"

I did learn something though-- Jersey Pizza can actually taste good when you've had enough booze.

I agree. Laphroig and Macallan remind me of paint thinner, its not my speed. Ed's favorites were right on point, I'm impressed! Which bottle was the "log on fire"?

Bob - sounds like you took that big step towards manhood yesterday. Happy to see you popped your cherry!

How the hell did I miss this thread this week? I know I wasn't online much, but still! Sounds like there was a good time had by all. I'll have to catch the next one.

[ozyman]

TT,

I think the log on fire was the Caol Ila 18. It was ActionBob who made the comment and also who brought the Caol Ila.
I actualy enjoyed the peaty ones more than I thought I would since they were so different from the other ones. There was talk of doing another similar event in NYC with Wine/Cheese or Port/Chocolate so that is something to look forward to.
