Fascinating to read about 55 percent evaporation, 55 seconds of charring and 240 degrees cooking temperature

Thought the specs sheet was pretty interesting. Never knew the details about cooking temperature nor the exact 55 secs of barrel charring.

How are the Chinese Mandarin courses? Are they good at teaching conversation fluency?

Smooth, not too sweet

Makes me feel good. I had thought my 350 bottles were excessive.

No dry July for me. Exploring rye whiskey. Starting with the low proof sazerac rye which I am finding surprisingly crushable and more ish.

I have been quoted 1650 for a crimsafe door to go in front of this standard front door. Also 900 dollars in total for 2 crimsafe fixed panels on each side of door. Includes installation. Is that reasonable?

Sometimes I get bored when halfway through a bottle and decide to spice it up a little by mixing unusual combinations. Today I added 0.5 oz of ardbeg to 2 oz Woodford reserve double oaked. I somewhat enjoyed it. Does anyone else have their preferred unusual blends?

Quite enjoyed the noodles on offer at the Spice bar, Melbourne qantas domestic business lounge. Prompt service, fresh and tasty

This classic never gets old. Always indulgent.

Was very pleased to add the Warehouse C to my little EHT family. Swapped a Pappy 15 for it.

A friend brought this back from recent travels. Its quite tasty. No artificial sweet cloying. Has anyone tried it?

Found this really refreshing after a long day. No alcohol burn. Much better than a beer for similar proof. I am motivated to try other ready to drink whisky refreshments.

Having a whisky sour during brunch on a Tuesday is not something I would ever have done pre retirement. The complete freedom is what I really love about no work schedules.

At a time when our profession is under siege from government, Medicare, health funds and loss of scope to other health care groups, making front page news for fighting and discord undermines our standing in the community and increases our vulnerability.
