Looks like the Darrins are on top, right where we belong.

Tony - we'll expect a full review.

I just bought a bottle of the oat bourbon. Will be opening it Saturday evening after the state Lego robotics tournament.

Yes, I saw that. I cannot guarantee that I will wait until the next meeting. It is pricey for 375ml but I am intrigued.

I bought the Colorado a couple years ago on the Blue Max field trip. It was pretty good, but a little too sweet for my taste.
Anything with "smoke" in the description gets my attention.

We should create of a list of whiskeys to try. I just picked up the two bottles we had waiting at Apollo yesterday. Not sure it would be effective for me to just look at unopened bottles at home without getting overwhelmed with thirst and curiosity.

Just reporting the facts. No complains :)

I do remember seeing that beer. Just so you guys can decide, we have less than $200 in the kitty. I'm not sure that's where we want to spend the money.

2011-09-12T10:22:41.253-05:00

This $200,000 scotch reminded me of this other limited edition alcohol with an unusual bottle that I saw a while back: The "strongest, most expensive and most shocking beer in the world."

Congrats on taking down Jon! OhCaptain is now happy. I updated the Whiskey List as well. We should be current going into tonight.

New guys that attended (all from the deebakes lab setting):

Tobias
Tyler
Kevin

Tyler has attended before for the night which has no point totals. Kevin came a long time ago, so is likely not on the sheet. I'll grab a new pad for next month if needed.

That actually looks pretty cool. I signed up for it. I might just go looking for a bottle this weekend.

2011-03-25T12:03:40.337-05:00

1st place is 1/2 the total pool, rounded up to the nearest $5. 2nd place is 1/2 of 1st place, rounded down to the nearest $5. 3rd place is 1/2 of 2nd rounded down, and so on, always rounding down after 1st place. After this, there was from $0-15 left over in each row. The club members present at the March meeting agreed that $5 of the leftover money (where available) would go into the kitty to allow us to get more expensive whiskeys and scotches in the future. If there was $10 leftover, then $5 to the kitty and $5 to first place. If there was $15, it would be $5 to the kitty, $5 to first place, and $5 to second.

Jameson is always good, and not high priced. Actually it's my favorite Irish. If you like whiskey in general, there's virtually no chance of not liking Jameson.

Ok. I'll peruse it tonight. I got it for Xmas of '09 from my in-laws. Great gift!

A moderately priced Irish would rock. A say go forth and research in the Whiskey Bible and while you are at it, tell me where you got said book...

2011-03-07T14:37:07.910-06:00

All poor attempts at humor aside... I think a Irish whiskey is a good idea. I have the 2010 Whisky Bible. I can look through it for some suggestions if you want.

2011-03-07T14:33:25.126-06:00

Well, Chris, there's a rich tradition of making whiskey in Ireland too. Some are ever super cheap and extra nasty and other can be quite good, even without the green food coloring.

2011-03-07T14:32:30.928-06:00

That's what I thought. Jim Beam is a bit more Kentucky bourbon than Irish whiskey. It is the day after too. Close enough for government work.

I think any whiskey can be died green to meet the theme of St. Patrick's Day... Right?
