After what seemed like a very cold (again with the "by San Diego standards" disclaimer) and wet winter; it seems like Spring might be here. The Missus got off early from work today and since I go in at 6am; I decided to leave a bit early as well.
We headed up to North Park; parked the car, and hit up a couple of places. Two of which I've posted on numerous times....so maybe you might just want to grab your favorite beverage and hit the TV or enjoy the weather or do something else.
If not; here's the rundown with minimal verbiage.
Seven Grand:
We've been here a couple of times. The Missus loves the vibe and ambiance. Everytime we've visited; the folks here were really awesome and knew their whiskey.
Plus, they carry the Missus's favorite label, Kavalan, from, of all places Taiwan. And they do half pours....
More on how we came across Kavalan (it was in Paris!) in a future post.

We then headed up 30th Street and around the corner at ECB to.....
Tiger! Tiger!:
**** Tiger! Tiger! has closed
Of course. We decided to just get the half charcuterie board.
Which always seems to be more than enough.
Tiger! Tiger!
3025 El Cajon Blvd

Then further down 30th to Adams and of course....
Et Voila!:
We hadn't been here since New Year's eve. So with a Huckleberry Bourbon under my belt.
We finished up our Happy Hour with a couple of old standbys.
Et Voilà!

I received a bottle of Kavalan for my birthday last year. Loved the distinctive flavor not found in bourbon or Scotch.

Ha! funny thing about Kavalan, a friend kindly dragged a bottle back from Taiwan for Matthew and I because she knows how much we love good whisky. Turns out the liquor store in her neighborhood (Handy Liquor at 30th and Adams) carries it just down the street from her house, so next time she comes back from taiwan, she can just buy a bottle from Handy and pretend she brought it all the way back ;D

Lol Lynnea! Our favorite Mezcal shop carries at least 8 varieties...2 of which are in a locked cage and the rest are literally on the "top shelf"! It's nice hearing from you. Hope all is well!
