Time for my annual 18 yo Tallisker Speyside whiskey and some Phineas Newborn to close off the school year. Every year the Phineas or every year the Talisker?

It was a gift from my father in law and it’s in a price class I that I would not buy a drink in. It’s something special and still enough left in the bottle for next year 😁 have the same thing with the Westvleteren beer which I only drink on special occasions. Phineas is more a monthly thing I guess 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabshakeh Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Spinnin' some Schubert in the classic Fischer-Dieskau / Moore version. Christmas tradition over here at Chez Rabshakeh. Going down extremely well this year with the five year old and three year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phineas is more a monthly thing I guess 😎 It's funny you mention Westvleteren... Since this summer their beer is available at some shops in the Netherlands (Mitra) legally for a reasonable price (4.80 or so)... Meaning, at least, that some competitors (Pannepot for instance) are now pricier and harder to find... I've now given Westvleteren as a present two or three times, had one or two myself... But still find it hard to accept that they've decided to transition to becoming an ordinary special beer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an awesome beer - but then so are probably many in the 5-10 range you haven't tried... In that style, Rochefort 10 is a more affordable classic and at the top end I recommend e.g. beers from Struise like the Pannepot and the St Amatus https://thehoptimist.co.uk/product/pannepot-old-fishermans-ale-de-struise-brouwers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Kongresshouse they performed those two tunes, a bit of drum solo feature (Mr. Hi Hat and The Drum also waltzes" plus a fierce version of Round Midnite. Once thing I remember: The night before, Max Roach who already had arrived came down to Jazzland to hear and greet Art Farmer who performed. The next day, when it was Max Roach´s concert, Farmer was in the audience and greeted by Roach from the stage...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
