Doing some solo drinking on my name day. Cheers, imgur, thanks for all the laughs, the occasional tears, and the rare need for brain bleach, I’m looking at you, usersub! Sláinte, ya magnificent bastards ya.
Front page edit: wow! Thanks, guys! You know how to make an old guy feel special! A couple things: I like a big cube or sphere in my whiskey, it melts super slow and as it does it opens up and takes you on a flavor journey. And yeah, the tattoo means I’m not a nazi. Thanks again guys! Send cool stuff and your karmic upvotes are on the way!

Happy birthday! 37 is a great age except the occasional age related amnesia. Also i tend to forget things and ramble on and on the road..
Diverge
.. where i grew up with my parents, they had a tree that held lemons yearly, and thats how we made lemonade for the local kids.

Safety pin tattoo? What's the story there?
ArcasNorthStar
Google'd "safety pin wrist tattoo" : http://www.scarymommy.com/safety-pin-tattoo-reminder-people-allies-darkness/
Craftandcakes
HBD! Any story behind that tattoo?
wouldldoubletapthat
Mans he’s a safe person, a guy that’ll let you have some of his 18 year old scotch & ask u if u want ice. Maybe throw a blanket on u too

TooLateMan
Yep!
Seandarkside
18 year old Highland Park, damn good whiskey and an excellent choice for your birthday.
slowasmayo
And a fancy neighborhood in Dallas. George Dubya lives there.
JadedDoorman
Funny, its absolite shit city in Michigan thats litterally surrounded by Detroit.
TooLateMan
I like it a lot perfect balance of silk and bite. Nasdrovia!
Seandarkside
I to enjoy my scotch with ice. I guess we are both heathens and destined for hell for that.
LordCrisp
Without the "silk" part, I'll recommend Talisker whiskies. They're an explosion of "bite", tons of flavour. Not for everybody though ;-)
idontlikepickingusername
Yeah, Talisker and Laphroaig are my favs, Lagavulin too for a bit less peat.
Seandarkside
Talisker is made from the mash of peat moss, then buried in a peat bog for a thousand years somewhere deep in the Scottish Islays.
bleblebla
Made me curious Why do you say nasdrovia? I know in polish 'Na zdrowie' means 'for (good) health', used as cheers, but from a new yourker?
bleblebla
I know, should have been written as yorker... greets from fellow level 37 in may
Partytor
Most people know it from Russian. Movies n shit yknow?
Beemstahmeister
May i suggest to leave the ice for an even better flavour? Slaente!
Comradesjeltonarmy
Bathe they have tried it best and just prefer it in the rocks? I know I try everything neat first then adjust from there.
mikmeh
Yep, neat and then maybe a few drops of purified water.
LordCrisp
Or... get whisky rocks... recently started using the ones I've had for years... cools less than ice which I want and doesn't water down ;-)
EnigmaNL
Cooling the whisky down makes it taste less. Shame of a good whisky.
5meoDMT
But have it with a dash of water... Not ice. It's too good for ice!!
MidnightLouie12515
Amen. A teaspoon of water at water, if not completely neat. I prefer Lagavulin or Bruichladdich Port Charlotte, personally.

Happy birthday, young man!

BrownCardigan
And you put ice in an 18 year old scotch?!
hereforthehumor
Large ice chunk better than chrushed ice or many cubes. Much less dilution
ReuZNL
I was looking for this comment. Thank you good sir or madam.
guhnomee
OMG HE PUT ICE IN HIS DRINK SOUND THE ALARMS PEOPLE..... its whiskey, its okay to drink it with ice, some people prefer cold drinks.
dc808
You can if she let's you!
Tkeleth
Hey, if it's his drink, he can drink it however the fuck he likes.
BrownCardigan
The point is he could save a lot of money buying much cheaper scotch if he's going to cool it down and kill the flavour
DefinetlyNotARussianSpy
Nonsense, it must be drunk in accordance with the rules of a random person on the internet
Tkeleth
Oh.
Enderst123
I personally always like a little ice with my Scotch. or a dash of water, but I prefer the ice.
topbreak38
1/3 This is a silly piece of trivia. The age on the bottle means that is the oldest batch they used to blend this bottle.
topbreak38
2/3 The makers constantly have to blend different batches to recreate the same flavor profile so a particular line always tastes the same.
topbreak38
3/3 That means there are professional alcohol drinkers who are responsible for insuring every batch mixed matches the original taste.
CameForNatalieDormer
The age is the *youngest*, not the oldest. That's the regulation by the SWA. And there's much less blending in a single malt like this.
topbreak38
Thank you! My mistake! Got that turned around there.
daguq
Ain't no problem there. Ice, or a touch of water, it opens the flavour.
auscaliber
water does in many whiskies, but ice mutes the flavour because of the "extreme" temperature (in comparison to your mouth anyway)
theirarefourlights
Meh. People most say this because it’s expensive and this it should be wasted. If you put coke in it, it’ll be a really delicious, and very1
theirarefourlights
Expensive, whisky and coke. Who gives a shit? Don’t do it with my whisky, I’ll give you a glass of cheap stuff, but you do you. 2/2
meeedic
Are you part of the Microsoft Word team?

Ha! I wish!

Isn't name day different from birthday?

In some parts of the world the name day is the day of the saint you are named after.

I want to know about your safety pin tattoo.
rezpawner
I assume it means that at some point OP had some money, and was near a tattoo parlour. That's usually what tats mean these days.
irishPEDOelf
Why does tattoo need to mean something?
rezpawner
They don't.
IDidJust
I assumed it was Clippy.
LtKifKroker
"Hry, it looks like you're drinking alone. Need any help with that? "
SwampWampa
The safety pin is a sign that youre essentially a safe person to talk to and will be an ally for lgbtq or race etc
frothingpony
Where on earth is that necessary
MarlenaWatches
Trump's America.
Kyribean
I wore one for about a year after the election. Hubby still wears his daily.
frothingpony
Where abouts do you live? America is such a varied place it’s hard to imagine that being necessary except in places like Mississippi
MarlenaWatches
I have a pin on all my over shirts.

I’ll wager those hands have never been sliced clean off by a falling sail, and swept into the sea before your very eyes

Why do you think there’s only one hand in the picture?
cordialkid
I literally only expanded this comment to hopefully find this golden reference +1
HelloFacehead
Skip the ice and get an eye dropper for scotch
melodramaticbat
Unpopular opinion maybe but eye droppers are a waste of time and seem pretentious. Add as much water/ ice as you like and go by taste.
guhnomee
Every time some one post scotch some one complains about ice. I guess no one is allowed to prefer drinking cold drinks.
lighterfluid9182
Single malts are specifically distilled to create unique taste palettes. If you want whiskey on the rocks, why not buy a blend and save $$.
lighterfluid9182
Everyone is entitled to their preferred methods, no snobbery intended. Just stating that there are vastly cheaper choices than a $100 bottle
TooLateMan
I like to do the first one with a big ice cube, I like how the scotch opens up and you get different notes as the ice melts. But that’s 1/2
TooLateMan
Just my way. After 16 years of bartending and 22 years of boozing I’ve come to the realization that there’s no real wrong way to drink.
Blumberton
Pretty sure we did it wrong with my mates. Chugged as much as we could->nightclub->too drunk to coherrently talk with women.
Blumberton
Everytime. Though we did have some good laughs. Now a days more of a weedguy as I always overdid my drinking even if I didn't do it often.
auscaliber
your preference is the right way, but if you use a glencairn (or wine glass) instead of a tumbler and room temp water youll get more from it
idontlikepickingusername
Yeah, Glencairn with a few drops of water
danbrazier
Challenge accepted.
TooLateMan
...wait.
MostLikelyPooping
Please, for the love of god- no butt chugging.
TooLateMan
Okay, butt chugging 18 year old scotch is wrong.
