I stock up on Maine microbrews when I visit my family, and like to open one during my more retrospective moments, along with some prog rock. The local liquor chain here in DC, Total Beverage, has a store brand of scotch (Sheildaugh) that tastes exactly like Lagavulin and only costs $18; it goes perfect with bebop. Gospel, R&B and classic rock- seltzer.
Drink of choice for serious listening?
This is a frivolous topic but probably won't end up any worse than a lot of more technical threads around here. But right now I'm settling down to listen to music for a few hours. I've got a glass of Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon on two cubes of ice which is a pretty good substitute for when you can't get your hands on a bottle of Blanton's.
I also like Aberlour A'bunadh single malt Scotch. No ice. Usually neat but maybe a few drops of water.
So when you sit down for serious listening do you like to have drink? If so, what? Doesn't have to be alcohol of course.
