Scott, you've started down a long expensive road. We have a local restaurant chain called the Winking Lizard that is branching out to whiskey bars. They've got a huge book of whiskeys from the whole world to choose from. Unfortunately, I found I have the same expensive taste. The last one I sampled was $30 for a long pour shot. But it was worth every sip! Erich
That must be the book Dave carries with him. ; I am sure the occasional expensive pour will happen, too. ;
It's the same with any spirit. ; Aging makes the finished product smoother and mellower, but as they say, time is money.
Scott the book I have is called "101 Whiskeys To Try Before You Die". Most of the ones we had were in there except the new Johnnie Walkers.
The Crunch played a game in the Verizon Center on Sunday and I took advantage and stayed after for a couple of days to visit a few Smithsonian museums including the Air & Space. ; Click the photo to read more about this spaceplane which almost became the direction of the US Manned Space program back in the early 60's.

The Crunch have a lot of public appearances. ; Most are pretty tame but last night's was a blast. ; Got to pull out my panning skills as the guys raced around an indoor go-kart track inside a shopping mall. Hockey Players Need for Speed by Scottwdw, on Flickr
What is really amazing about this goal is Syracuse Crunch Dana Tyrell is on his off wing and still managed to accept the pass and fire it in the net at full speed. Hockey Action by Scottwdw

This kid will be in the NHL next season. ; Amazing speed and natural talent. ; Second generation player whose Russian Dad played for the Crunch in 1994 when Vladdy was 3 years old. ; Note: this was taken with a Nikon 24-120mm f/4 AF-S VR lens on a Nikon D7100. ; Renting this lens for a few days which will cover 4 Crunch home games as a future replacement for the older Nikon 24-85G f/3.5-4.5 AF lens I use now at ice level.

I remember when I could do this in net....of course, that was 40 years ago! Overtime Drama by Scottwdw
Meanwhile, back in Metropolis... Cincinnati Union Station was the inspiration for the design of the Hall of Justice. ; The hall was the Headquarters of the Super Friends, a group of DC Comics super heroes brought together in a cartoon series in the 1970s. ; In real life, the train station now serves as the Cincinnati Museum Center and is worth a visit to view the Art Deco splendors both inside and out. Meanwhile, back in Metropolis...
and CUT is worth a visit just for tower A. the old station control tower is open certain days to the public. great view of CSX and NS yard ops. spent a couple hours up there last year before my reds game
