Where I’m Going

 

Clicking on the thumbnails will lead you to my Instagram page. Some non-boozy content, but hey, it’s not like I only leave the house to drink, you know.

Went a little nuts at @fineandrarenyc and tried a vintage @old_overholt_official #rye, distilled in 1978 and bottled in #ohio at 86 proof. Was it still being distilled in #pennsylvania? It’s not crystal clear. It was tasty, though - creamy vani
Discussing important topics with Princess - such as who’s a good girl, who’s so sweet, and who’s a little cutie pie - over a glass of delicious #whiskey. It’s how we roll in the #mancave. #bourbon #catsofinstagram #drinkporn #
Checked out the newest @makersmark expression in their Wood Finished Series, employing toasted and virgin #french and #american oak staves to create an austere, elegant #bourbon that’s heavy on the caramel, vanilla and burnt sugar notes. Oh, an
Is this not the most gorgeous of #bourbon bottles? I haven’t yet tasted this latest bottling, but if it’s anything like previous #bottledinbond Old Fitzgeralds, the liquid inside will be just as spectacular. 14 years old, 100 proof... yow
Flanked by my wife and kid and my godparents at my birthday party last year. My godmother Elsie passed away today. She was an incredibly kind, warm, and innately good person - think a slightly sassier, goofier Mr. Rogers. One of the best things my mo
A #tiki #cocktail with #vermouth sounds kind of odd, but I challenged @stgerlanedrinksnp of @maisonnoillyprat to come up with a couple. The Golden Jungle is the second one, and I think it’s my preferred of the two. I used fresh #pineapple juice
#brunch on the rooftop of the newly-reopened @thenomadhotel. Stunning setting, amazing view, terrific #food and #cocktails, and the chance to hang out for a bit with the one and only @lrobitschek. There are probably better ways to spend a #saturday a
Gibsons and lawn chairs in #centralpark with the inimitable @philipsduff, who not only mixes a mean #cocktail but knows the importance of good glassware, no matter where you’re drinking. I tip my cheapest to you, sir! Not pictured: mounds of to
Drinking some #rhumagricole from #martinique and molasses-based #rum from #stlucia with the good folks from @Spiribam. An incredible variety of flavor, from a seaside salinity to lush dark chocolate, And many points in between. Educational and intoxi
What’s for dinner? Anything edible that will go with this #hotsauce quartet. The company launched mid-pandemic, which takes some real chutzpah. Best of luck to both @bayougotham and my taste buds, which I suspect will be feeling a mite toasty i
Taking the day off from boozing due to a stomach bug, but as soon as I’m able I’ll be lapping up these samples of the most hotly anticipated #irish #whiskey in a loooong time. Each expression uses barley from a single farm in #ireland and
Happy National #maitai Day! I generally don’t observe bogus “days,” but I’ll grab at any excuse to make a mai tai. After some consultation, I went with a take on Trader Vic’s original 1944 classic, employing two differen
#breakfast for the girls. #hotdog for #darlingdaughter (no bun), #water for Princess, in her super-cool @blackenedamericanwhiskey cup, no less. #howweroll #notbigbreakfasteaters #happyweekend #catsofinstagram
Finally got chairs for my #mancave, which features a healthy selection of sipping spirits for boozy connoisseurs and aspiring drunkards. It’s also becoming known among the under-21 set for its excellent #shirleytemple, not to mention the WiFi r
A little #rum sippin’/#cocktail makin’ session with @flordecanausa global brand ambassador Mauricio Soloranzo. I hadn’t had Flor de Cana in quite a while - it was good to get reacquainted. And somehow they got fellow diehard @yankee
This is seriously cool. 17 years is a lot of aging for a #bourbon, but 86 years in the bottle will hopefully have mellowed it out somewhat. #whiskey #bourbondeluxe #bottledinbond #preprohibitionwhiskey #drinkporn #whiskeyporn #kentucky #mellwooddisti
