Whiskey Escape
One fun thing we did – we got to utilize not one, but two Christmas gifts we had received. One was a nice bottle of Macallan (Harmony Collection, Vibrant Oak), and the other was a “Whiskey Escape Room” game.

Whisky Tasting in the Suburbs, Part 2
Liz and I trekked out to the suburbs tonight, for an early dinner and gathering and Michelle and Mike’s place. It’s been a while since we last gathered (January, I think it was). And tonight we resumed our “reading” of 2024 Costco Whisky Collection.
That said, I think at the rate we’re going… we’ll be lucky to meet one more time before the 2025 edition comes out.
Asheville, Day 3: Fae Nectar, Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, Oak and Grist Distillery, Cultivated Cocktails
A particularly sad spot – the “Rainbow bridge,” where owners attached dog collars for their dogs, who have passed away.
A Day Out in Logan Square
Today, Liz and I had a plan to just go out and about. To get out of the house some, and to just make a day of being “out” – something we don’t really do much of.
Whiskey and Serendipity: Teeling Tasting at Warehouse Liquors (Drammers Club), Dinner at Cherry Circle Room
Liz and I had an early date night planned today. Earlier in the week, we got an email notification, a kind of last minute invite to a Drammers event at Warehouse Liquors: a tasting event featuring Teeling whiskey. And a chance to sample tastes from two 30+ year old bottles!
Courage and Conviction
Interesting note: Virginia is a control state, which means that the state handles the sale of liquor/spirits (while wine and beer are handled by other retailers). There are Virginia ABC stores all over, and the two that we visited were incredibly clean and had an impressive selection.
Boulder Tasting
Liz got a sampler pack from Boulder Spirits, and we had a fun/impromptu tasting tonight after work.
