Congrats!

Smithwick.
I think Glenlivet would do quite nicely. ;D
Jamesons seems like a good idea just now.

All you damned Scotch and Irish Whiskey drinkers. How about something Amerkun?! Bulleit Bourbon. Nom.
Oh, congratulations Steve. Good looking baby. I'm guessing he takes after his mother. ;D
j/k...

That's Scots though not Irish, right?
I guess it would still be better than calling little "Single Malt" in for dinner.

I believe that is Scottish, not Irish.

You're probably right. I'm not a big scotch/whiskey/bourbon (I know they're different, but they are similar) drinker. The name still sounds nice, though. ;)

I believe bourbon is made from corn mash. Scotch Whiskey is made from barley mash, similar to beer. I don't drink much of either either. I used to consume blended scotch whiskey but it gave me reflux. I have tasted a few single malt scotch whiskeys, very good, but my consumption has been very limited.

A lot of Scotch makers use old used Bourbon barrels in their aging process. I found that fascinating to say the least.

I've seen that on some TV shows too. I wonder what the Scotch makers did before Bourbon? I believe Scotch whiskey predates Bourbon in charred white oak barrels.

I'm sure it does. That's partially why I found it fascinating. Why start using old Bourbon barrels? Maybe it smoothed out the flavor?

I'm sure the TV shows mentioned the reason. I probably had a couple too many Marshall's when I watched it/them.

Well played. I'm also finishing my last Fat Tire. I guess next weekend will include a run to Caney now...sigh.

Or learn to brew your own. I've made some pretty good clones of Fat Tire. Get the kit from High Gravity.
I hope the baby looks like her. Mom is pretty...Steve...not so much.
I love the thread drift about the boy turning to whiskey.
Thanks for the well wishes. He's a cool little kid.
He'll grow up respecting the rye.
Townie, please insure this doesn't happen :
(I think this is what took place with Guido, but Conan's was not from indoctrination but parental rejection....just guessing.) ;D
