We don't drink a lot out of the stock so it should be obvious when the level are down. I would suggest that everyone do the same if there are children around. Better you know than not.

Blog. Talk 2007. It will be held between September 22 and 29, 2007 and anybody who blogs about alcoholic drink is invited to take part. I have not been able to find a contact email on your site so, if you are interested, please contact me at japanesewhisky at gmail.com and I will send you out an invite. If you want to find out more about who I am, I blog at Nonjatta.blogspot.com about Japanese whisky. The idea for the conference came out of a discussion between myself, Kevin Erskine (of Scotchblog.com) and Jeffrey Morgenthaler (of JeffreyMorgenthaler.com) on a thread at Kevin's blog. I hope you will be able to take part. I would like to invite you to join an online conference of drink bloggers: Drink. Blog. Talk 2007.

Did throw away a couple of things that I know were older than our 20 year old son!

I'm just starting to get (back) into this myself, and I'm pleased to see Teachers Highland Cream on your scotch list. It's easily the best blend I've ever had, and I've learned it contains far more single-malt than any other blend available. I'm currently on a bit of a Manhattan kick, and I'm investigating ryes. So far, Old Overholt is in the lead. I've also tried the Sazerac 6 year old, but I find it as an unpleasant iodine aftertaste. Re: vodka. I enjoy a good vodka martini from time to time, and so I've also been trying to find a decent vodka. The high end ones are so clean as to be without character (I'm thinking Grey Goose here) and run of the mill ones are often rather icky (i.e. Absolut). Best so far, for my tastes, has been Monopolwa. Inexpensive too. As a final note, have you tried Hendrick's gin? It's interesting, flavored with cucumber and rose water. Strange, but interesting. Excellent list.

No need to get pushy... I'll bring the Dow's 30-Year Tawny Port, which you seem to lack, and which is SO EFFING GOOD. That is all. Oh wait--pictures of the new bar forthcoming?
