Whisky2015-03-03-12.48So I was spending my lunch break at Trader Joe’s to get a sandwich and some bare essentials when I saw a thing of beauty.

This was a gorgeous bottle both esthetically and practically. The big problem is not getting into the fact that I’ve been gradually becoming a tea-totaler over beer and wine over the last few years, I’ve never really been into the hard stuff. In fact other than appreciating a nice single malt, the only time I buy whisky is in november for a really good pumpkin pie recipe I have that calls for a jigger of bourbon. I’m not going to buy a fourteen dollar bottle just to pour the contents down the sink even if it were bad whisky (and based on my faith in Trader Joe’s usual standards I’ll assume that it’s not.)

Heck I don’t even know what I’d put in this bottle! Perhaps a homemade salad dressing, herb infused olive oil, maybe even leftover tea… either way I know I’m going to be obsessing over it for the rest of the day.
