and after a pint of Haagen Dazs Mint Chip with a few pieces of assorted fruit a half hour or so after that, it was time to taste a tip from a friend. Yesterday I had taken delivery from binnys.com of two bottles of rum and a bottle of Old Rip Van Winkle 15 year old bourbon at 107 proof. Definitely up my alley in the strength range.
