Don't have a pour picture, but picked this up from Costco to have after the birth of our second child. Cracked it open a couple weeks ago. One of my favorites!

Congrats on the baby!

I have an 18yr as well and yeah...its good. LOL

I have a 2016 Sherry Cask I have not yet opened...not sure when I will. Yamazaki makes a lot of good stuff, hell even the 12 yr is tasty!

Thank you! Yes, they make great stuff. I've only had the 12 and 18 year, but both were excellent.

Start to the week-end. A freebie from the Power House.: Tequila in a can.

Because my plans for the afternoon were shelved due to the up-coming T-Storm, I decided to lounge on the deck with a Dark & Dirty. Normally, I would never put cola in my good stuff but the bottle only had enough for one drink so I gave it the "Coup de Grâce."

Yum.... Some of my favorite. I was just gifted a bottle for my Birthday this weekend. 🥃

Orange Prosecco cocktail with frozen peach cubes instead of ice.

Time to crack this open...

Iris Pinot Gris, great cheap wine

Always a safe purchase or gift. 🥃

I've been working on a series of cocktail shots recently, today was a Manhattan. What's your go to cocktail?

Hi tcphoto, suggestion: post the recipes for these amazing photos of delicious-looking cocktails, and we can all have a little happy hour.

bpeckham, ask and you'll receive. I was inspired by a Death and Company book for the Manhattan. Enjoy

My wife calls this cocktail a "Raspberry".

1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1 oz Chambord
2 oz Absolut raspberry vodka

Shake with ice until frost forms on the exterior of the shaker and your hands hurt. Strain into a cocktail glass with a sugared rim.
