If you can get your arse into the vicinity of Los Angeles, you're on.
Great sig - that's Philo, right? Back when Celestial Seasonings was putting tags on their Morning Thunder bags, they had quotes and sayings on each. I got that one and had it tacked up on my work bench for years. Morning Thunder - now there's a great alternative to coffee - a Yerba Mate and black tea blend. None around, so it's off to 7-11 for some 5-Hour Energy shots - 'need a kickstart today. Cheers!

My latest Bottle of Japanese Whisky (and most expensive 79€)
Can you give us a bit more on this one?

yes now
I try it this evening
First what is different
I never drink scotch single Malt´s like Mac Allan etc.
with Ice
but all Japanese Whisky´s I ever tried seems to be designed
to drink with a couple of Ice cubes
For relaxing Times make it suntory Times
The Hibiki is a blend of 30 different Whisky´s
It´s smooth and very well composed with a strong touch of plum
long aftertaste , if you swallow it it opened his full flavor
very mild not harsh or too sharp
A real relaxing long Drink
for my opinion one of the best japanese Whiskey i ever tried
The Hakushu for example is very different , lot of freshness and pepper Flavor
for me the Japan Whisky´s are a perfect summer Drink
In winter Times I like to change to Mac Allan or Bowmore Darkest (one of my favs)
but if you ever dare to try the Japanese Stuff
Test the Suntory Yamazaki or the Nikka All Malt ,
their are not so expensive and a good starter for explore the world of Japanese Whisky

5 hour extra strength (the legal boost
While I am not a big fan of the Japanese versions, this one could be an interesting try at least. The two other Japanese blends I wasn't very crazy about, but its been awhile since I tried any of those. I guess I am a bit of a purist when it comes to whiskys.

Yamazaki and Hakusho are Single Malts
I know a lot of People who are Purists (but most of them never try)
Thanks for the info Zeituhr!

Yessir, Philo is the dude. I got it from one of Bubba's book reviews. He had that quote at the top of the article.
