Forty Creek is very good, but, like almost all other Canadian 'Rye' Whiskey, it is a blend of various grains. Rye is a component - Maize (Indian Corn), Barley, and Rye are used in Forty Creek's case. Although American Rye Whiskey has to be at least 51% distilled from Rye, there is no similar requirement anymore in Canada. Canadian 'Rye' just has to have the taste characteristic of "Canadian Whiskey" - it doesn't even have to have Rye in it (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/r...-B.02.020.html)
To correct myself, there are actually a few other 100% Ryes besides Alberta distiller's brands (Premium (5yr IIRC), Springs (10yr IIRC), and Limited 25 year and 30 year - unfortunately, the last two are sold out AFAIK), but Alberta (currently owned by Beam) is the most widely available.

I'll be reaching in my ISOM humi and smoking something that I pull out. For das drink, I'll be enjoy something from Belgium, maybe a Abbaye des Premonres or a Grimbergen Blanche. I'll be at my Brother in laws house so I know he'll have a smoke also.

I have a Padron 64 that Paddy sent that will probably be smoked as this year's last moments tick away.
Starting to thread jack here...but thanks for the info. I guess your a pretty avid whiskey drinker. I'm not too familiar with it, but I hear Forty Creek is coming out with a line that focuses on one grain per blend. I believe there will be 3 different bottles coming out soon.
It's not much of a stretch at this point to be honest. I don't drink that much anymore since I started running. Her bet is that she won't gamble for a year. The winner, aside from bragging rights, gets a fat casino trip or a computerized wood carver. I don't think she can do it but for the fact that she's freakishly competitive. I think I'll end up better off in the end either way
I used to drink whiskey (and whisky) mostly, but once I found Havana Club 7, I now usually drink rum when I do drink. (I drink alcohol incredibly rarely now - I had to go dry for a year a while ago, and never found really started drinking regularly again.) I still have half a case of Alberta Premium 25 year, though - it doesn't go bad. :-)

I've been trying to decide between two cigars. An Opus X figurado, or the new Cohiba Diamonte Edicion (I think I spelled that right). Or perhaps a Winston Churchill robusto by Davidoff.

Victory01...does that include every type of gambling? Lotto, bingo, scratch off, office pools, or even friendly wagers like..."I bet you so and so..." Good luckto you both...

I've been running pretty regularly for a couple years now. I ran the Seattle Marathon in Nov but will be sticking to shorter distances this year and working on my speed. Which marathon are you looking at? I can't remember where in Germany your stationed but Berlin is one of the fastest courses in the world.

I have a Padron serie 1926 Maduro 40th anniversary that is calling my name, I do believe I will smoke that one!
I'm not sure if I want to run in one here, France, or back in the states. I've been looking at maybe trying to run in one in San Fransisco area and catch a 9ers home game. Still in the planning phase. I'm in southern Germany, however, I have been looking at the Berlin Marathon as an option.
