Aberfeldy Highland Single Malt. Starts off nutty, finishes slightly sweet. Very smooth, zero burn.

It's a bit embarrassing, but there were about 300 bottles of Trinidad TDL shipped to Sweden, and I, almost completely by myself, has consumed 2% of the entire Swedish stock of it 🤣

Now, I'm on the way to 0.2333% of the Swedish stock 😅

@Keyrock - I like your hat. The pumpkin could use a face, tho.  🎃

I've never actually carved a pumpkin. 

It is a waste of a good pumpkin

I thought carving pumpkins were rubbish to eat anyway? We don't get red pumpkin for sale here, it's all Crowns/ Butternut/ Buttercup which aren't the right shape for carving anyway.

I thought for a moment I actually had that Scotch on the shelf but it's Aberlour, not Aberfeldy. Same bottle style though.

Can't say I've had Aberlour. How is it?

Similar to the Aberfeldy I'd say. It's really smooth, almost no peat or smoke, not very strong on the palate but with a very nice finish. It's the sort of scotch I could very easily imagine being turned into Drambuie.

I don't like the Robert E Lee hat but nice pic, @Keyrock

@ComradeMasterWait wait wait wait wait, when did General Robert E Lee ever wear a panama hat?

I dig everything about that picture except for the Scotch.

Don't know how they compare to any others but plenty of mom's I knew growing up would use the common US ones for stuff. Pies mostly, soup sometimes.  My mother liked to dry out the seeds in the oven for eating.

I am drunk off some bourbon and I am happy.

Never had one myself but based on the squirrels consuming the ones people leave out like idiots, I assume they can't be all that bad to eat. But edible is edible.

 

For years the only non miniature red pumpkins available here that were (occasionally) sold came with the disclaimer that you should feed them to livestock when finished with them, which was not encouraging. I kind of presumed things were different in the US since everywhere seemed to have pumpkin pie for sale as a dessert when I was last there- I'm not sure I've ever seen it offered here.

Since I've been prompted I checked my seed catalogues and we do now have a good tasting carving pumpkin available (variety name "Jack o' Lantern", appropriately enough; though the seed supplier is pretty niche and it isn't available retail) but it's a bit late to try planting any now plus I don't have the space. Something to try for next year though.

Cheap raspberry vodka
