#drinksbythedram — Public Fediverse posts

The final day of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 brings an Irish whiskey and a story of a prodigal son (perhaps accidentally) returned home. This is the end of the whiskey, but there is still a story to enjoy tomorrow.

Christmas Eve is always a busy day for me, and today was no exception, so really just a quick photo and some quick impressions.

Penultimate day of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 is another English whisky, and a short story about a not-so-typical family reunion.

Day 22 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 has arrived, and I'm on vacation. Celebrating with today's dram and, surprisingly, a story by Chekov (of gun, not nuclear wessels) that I'm pretty sure I've read before to mark the occasion. Tomorrow I settle in for the annual Marathon of Holiday Baking.

Day 21 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 is a clever bit about needs and wants on a few fronts, and a 10-year-old Glengoyne single malt.

Nostalgia lay behind door 20 of the #whiskyadvent calendar today, while #SSAC2023 was a brief read called "The Skull", by Leopoldine Core.

#whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 day 18 brings another repeat previously seen last year and in 2020, and a bit of a horror story.

Day 17 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 was a very welcome repeat from last year's calendar, and Sara Lippman's short story "Swanee".

Day 16 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 was a good day for a porch whisky.

Took advantage of being home during daylight to shoot day 15's #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 photo today, with a well-known Speyside whisky from one calendar and a short story from Deb Olin Unferth from the other.

Another late return from the office on Day 14 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023. A wee dram and a short story once again help relax after the commute, this time from Eden Mill and Paul Cresey, respectively.

Got home ridonkulously late on Day 13 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023, but a nice dram from Teeling and a brief, absurdist tale from Melissa Broder were a nice way to unwind.

Day 12 of #whiskyadvent was an outstanding tipple from Bushmills, and #SSAC2023's day 12 story of, I suppose, a failed break with the past, comes from Hilma Wolitzer.

Door 11 of the #whiskyadvent calendar opened on a tasty PX cask English whisky, and #SSAC2023 day 11 is a short story-not-story by Alexander Weinstein.

Day 10 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 brings another solid Irish whiskey, and a sad short story of a woman paralyzed by the fallout from one bad decision.

#whiskyadvent2023 #drinksbythedram #day9 #whisky #weedram #ShortStoryAdventCalendar #HingstonAndOlsen

Day 9 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 and we get another (lovely) repeated dram, and Jade Song's story "Cosmic Cul-de-Sac".

#whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 day 8: a 22-year old Highland whisky on the posh side, and a short story that paints what feels like an intensely personal vignette by Lydia Conklin.

Day 7 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 offered up the 15-year-old expression of Redbreast single pot still Irish whiskey, and a short story by Thomas King set against the backdrop of the horrors of the Residential Schools in Canada.

#whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023, day 6, and the door opened on another repeat from last year's whisky calendar. Today's short story, set up by theater tickets in lieu of a holiday bonus, has little in common with the song by the First Lady of Swing besides its title.

Day 5 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 brought with it an English whisky named for a rugby play by a guy with my last name, and a short story by Naben Ruthnum set in a sanitarium-cum-fine-arts-school. Happy Repeal Day, for those who celebrate.

Day 4 of #whiskyadvent/#SSAC2023 brought with it a Finnish 100% rye whiskey at 47.2%ABV from Kyrö, and the short story "Librarians in the Branch Library of Babel", by Shaenon K. Garrity.

#whiskyadvent day 3: a bit of The Singleton of Dufftown 18 year-old, Peter Orner's "Shouting Wenkie", and my task for the night: numbering and signing this year's batch of Cachalot calendars and packing up 20 or so of them to be mailed out tomorrow.

Day 2 of #whiskyadvent brought me a wee bottle of Yellow Spot 12-year-old single pot still Irish Whiskey, paired with today's short story by Jessica Anthony, "The Virgin Oyster".

Wrapped up a busy season at the office today, just in time for Day 1 of this year's #whiskyadvent calendar. Figured I'd get the silly-experiment-with-Polaroid out of the way first, since I knew I was going to do one.

#whiskyadvent #whiskyadvent2023 #drinksbythedram #day1 #whisky #singlemalt #highland #weedram #ShortStoryAdventCalendar #HingstonAndOlsen #SSAC2023

WhiskyAdvent Day 14's taste is Teeling's Small Batch Amber Ale Cask Finish. No age statement I could find, 46% ABV in the bottle. Very tasty.

#whiskyadvent #whiskyadvent2022 #drinksbythedram #day14 #whiskey #irishwhiskey #weedram

Third day of Whisky Advent, second 21-year-old expression in a row. This one is a blended Scotch from Berry Bros. & Rudd, "The Perspective Series" (the name apparently is in tribute to the photography on the packaging, which is, well, missing on these wee bottles.) 43% ABV.
