OT: What are you all drinking tonight

I had a couple Manhattans at Botto's in Swedesboro tonight. They have a house bourbon and use Antica for the vermouth. Ends up being the best Manhattan I can find in a restaurant.
 
A friend just gave me a bottle of Bunnahabhain (TOITEACH A DHA’), Islay single malt scotch. It was peaty… not too bad. Question is how the heck do you pronounce it?
 
Downed two pints of Belhaven Best Friday afternoon at Teuchters pub, a local hangout in Edinburgh. Heading upcountry today to Milngavie to begin hiking the West Highland Way on Sunday. More regional pints to come as well as a wee dram or three....

For you scotch drinkers, what whisky should I be sampling in the Highlands?

Since Black Eyed Susans are among the least manly cocktails ever devised, I'm instead going to be making Preakness cocktails for the Preakness today. Almost verbatim to a Manhattan but with a little Benedictine in there. To truly make it a Baltimore staple, use Sagamore for the rye.

How old is it? I have a bottle of the 12 which is almost empty, gonna have to replace that soon. By the way, the correct pronunciation is: BOO-nə-HAV-in.

So I enjoyed a glass of this tonight, Abhainn Dearg 10yo. My colleague at my last job picked it up for me 2 years ago when he was vacationing in Scotland.

Wow, no entries for almost a month! I'm proud of you guys for going on the wagon!!!

As for me, while I was prepping Corey's 19th birthday dinner (rib roast, mashed potatoes, onions, portabello caps, chocolate cake by the missus), I was enjoying this:

Finishing what’s left of a bottle I had of Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask. It’s good if you prefer the rum influence but I prefer the 12 year old double wood.
 
Oktoberfest beers are out! Only a month away.
Had a few Erdinger Oktoberfest this weekend. Very different than all other German Oktoberfest biers. This a wheat based beer. Very good!

Having some Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest's tonight. I wanted to try something different then the Sam Adams version. I think I like the Sierra version better tbh. I also picked up Founder Ultimate Oktoberfest that I have yet to try.
 
I had a few of those awesome, spectacularly rated, enjoyed and adored IPAs (wink @WhiteBus ) plus a Founders Headless Gourdsman which checked in at 13+% while sitting in front of an awesome fire pit tonight.
