So what do you prefer after a good dinner? Single malt or perhaps a scotch?

i'm a single malt scotch kinda guy.....i prefer the less peaty brands although i won't turn down a talisker, etc.

McCallan and Dalwhinnie are a couple of faves....

I like Bowmore and Lagavulin, really nice and smoky.

And I saw that I added scotch as an option, that was meant to be blended. But never mind ;)

I enjoy Cognac over ice cream of various flavors!

Rémy Martin XO when I can get my hands on it - on a more regular basis, Jack Daniel's in a chilled highball glass, or in Coca-Cola.

Personally, after dinner I prefer a good cigar over a glass of whiskey. But if it's gotta be whiskey, then it better be from Lynchburg, TN, USA. Gentleman Jack is a most delictible concoction, IMHO. On the rocks, with a splash of tonic. Smoooooooooooth.

The bigger question may be: "When you drink alone, do you prefer to be by yourself?"

Not much of a whiskey person, so I chose "Root Beer" out of the available options. Occasionally, I'll have a nice, cold beer. A cigar and a 15 year old Port is great after dinner, but I can't afford that often.

I was going to post a what kind of beer do you enjoy thread but I couldn't figure out how to put the clever little poll thing.

I dunno about an after dinner cocktail for me but I do like a few sips of JD from a flask

Nice catch! I used to do a little fly fishing myself up in the Owens Valley in California. Someday I'm going to get back into it.

Thanks Josh,

Thats on the San Juan River. I fish there a lot. Get back into it and when I go visit my uncle up in Ventura I'll swing by your place in LA and pick you up to do some surf fly fishing!

Fishin' is awesome! And that's a mighty big smile on that fisherman on the previous page! :D Big Walleyes and Northern Pike are the name of the game up here in Dakota country, and Devils Lake and Lake Sakakawea are a couple of hot spots to get 'em.

Robert,

Too late. I did. It's back to being short now. Got tired of taking 20 minute showers and bottles of conditioner. :P

Surf fly? Outstanding! I'm more of a motor oil/red flake grub kind of surf fisherman, but I've always wanted to try flyfishing for Corbina and surfperch.

Tone, I think that you look a lot like Robert Plant on that picture ... ;)

I never did understand why people go fishing for flies. I would rather eat fish myself.

I have surf fished along both the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Ocean. I have deep fished in both waters too. I scuba dove and spear fished there also. I had the wonderful experience of ice fishing in Minnesota at 30 below zero. Burrrrrr.

I never done any of that fly fishing stuff. I looks like fun, as long as you do not go during salmon season. I do not know who is worse, the bears or the other fishermen!!!

Tone, we gotta go flyfishing together soon. I love doing that! You can come up to southern Alberta, good fishing here too.

Josh - I've checked out a few fly fishing sites that cater to surf fishing the California coast and it looks like it would be a blast and very doable. Keep this idea in mind you never know man, we could do it!

SS - its funny say that...I remember in high school my friends used to call me Robert Plant cause I have light hair and it was long and curly. And of course my name is Robert.

Tim - Great little joke there. heh I'd love to go to Oregon or Alaska to catch some sweet salmon. Silvers, Coho, King...all of them. I'd also love to get on a boat and catch me a humongous Halibit (on regular tackle of course) so I can ship that baby home with me and grill it up!!!

Robert - Yeah I know buddy...you're in with the IN crowd. ;) I'm going to take you up on your offer one day sir..just remember that.

back to whiskey.......

my wife came home from grocery shopping today and brought me a little gift. She stopped at the local liqour store and picked up a bottle of Highland Park 12 year old single malt from the orkney islands.

I have never tried this one....looking forward to it this evening!
