Bush party!

Believe it or not, i did a BBQ in a forest, and it was right in front of my house. How convenient.

I live in Bandar Utama, an urban estate in PJ.

A 20-second walk into that direction

Been wanting to do it for awhile. Managed to pull it off when i scored a 100m-long electrical cable from a friend, so we cd have tunes, lights and a fan.

Obvioulsy this was one of the tunes:

There’s this forest that has built itself up over the years.

Settin-up, section 1

I had some strange reactions to d idea, but d crowd eventually loved it. I partied in da bush from 6pm to 3am.

Section 2

Complete with bar stools

Firin' up

Layaning a Snakebite made from Baad Apples Cider

Party on

Loads of Snakebite went down. Loads. Cider sponsored by Baad Apples™.

So good, might have to do it again. Tried to cap it at 12 pax due to the limited space, but there were 15 at one point and quite cozy.

The bush is pretty large, a few acres. It’s privately-owned, so it could be developed some day.

Thus I wanted to do this. Before the bastards with chainsaws come.

Speaking of which, it’s my birthday next week. So, if any booze company or bar is feelin generous (since its Christmas n all) n wants to sponsor a small party, lemme know! Heheh

Whisky Bible 2012 selects Old Pulteney..

..as the world’s best. Jim Murray’s annual publication named Old Pulteney 21 Years as the champ. The single malt Scotch  created in Wick, in the Highlands, scored 97.5 out of 100, which is a record.

Old Pulteney is not a common Scotch over here. However, a company called Interbev brings them in, and according to them, there’re plans to promote the brand locally.

Lookin good

According to the distillery, the £74.99, 46% ABV drink is a marriage of bourbon cask and sherry (American not European wood) cask-matured whisky.

According to Jim, ““Owned by a relatively-small company, without the financial muscle of the major whisky barons to market their malts on the global stage, I hope that this award helps Pulteney to become better known around the world; that is the whole point of my Whisky Bible, after all.”

The bible includes an astounding 2,100 new whisky releases!

Second and third places went to US bourbons George T Stagg, by Buffalo Trace Distillery, and Parker’s Heritage collection Wheated Mash Bill Bourbon, aged 10 years.

Look forward to seeing more OP around.
