Raz posting here (a rarity, I know): So, I did something odd on Friday; Wine tasting. After going to a morning funeral (for a dear sweet lady who welcomed us without hesitation into her family) and associated wake in Lompoc, CA. Ginger was feeling wiped out so I took her back to the motel. The…
This past weekend I had the pleasure of volunteering to help bottle over at Big Bottom Whiskey in Hillsboro, Or. In just about 2 hours time, 6 of us had 58 cases of bourbon bottles stickered, filled, corked, capped, and boxed. Not too shabby, considering two of us had zero prior experience. Ted, the owner…
This is what happens when one of us has an idea and the others don’t say “No” (much like how the 3DC came about in the first place). Check this out and go have some fun making your own 3DC signs… it IS a funny picture after all. 3DC sign generator here. But don’t say…
Yes, this is a re-run of content from 2007, but it still holds true today. It happens every year around this time, we are all asked about our suggestions for good whiskies as gifts. To that end, we’ve written up some suggestions at the links below. Take a gander at our previous two posts on…
Zane goes to New Zealand and samples some locally distilled and bottled whiskies: http://www.fancast.com/tv/Three-Sheets/96540/1339974453/Kiwi-Scotch-Whisky/videos Some interesting tidbits include an historic recreation of a copper home still (Oh, if only the 3DC can setup our own!).

With a nod to the Bard: This day is called the Reverence of Friar John: He that outlives this day, and comes drunk home, Will stumble a-tiptoe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Friar John. He that shall see this day and drink t’old age, Will yearly on the…
Well wonder no more… now you can read up on the 3DC at the Caid Wiki: http://wiki.caid-commons.org/index.php/3_Drunken_Celts An excerpt: What’s in a Name? Much discussion went on around the naming of this group. The logic of the three founding members went something like this: “We all have Celtic based personas so there should be some…
Raz – Hmmm, Whisky Sugar cookies are good. I’m starting with the Edradour series we are here to kill and proceeding on to the Edradour 16 for good measure. No tasting notes here sorry but it’s good to see so much good stuff on the table just on the fly. Meliko – Going through the…
Seamus suggested that I write up a review of the three different types of absinthe that we have had the pleasure of trying thus far. This subject came up as we were discussing our most recent purchase from the local liquor emporium of a locally distilled absinthe. Since I seem to have such strong opinions…
