I’ll be getting at the remnants of these later, join me in spirit with your spirits…
Aberlour is my go-to scotch. I gave up Grey Goose years ago in favor of Belvedere; if the Poles are standing by us in the war, it’s the least I can do for them.

Outstanding! And in my best Polish, “Zime piwo!” (cold beer) that’s all I know.
Congrats, sir! I’ll raise a Ardbeg to you later tonight.
I’m drinking some of my wife’s fru-fru wine right now in honor. Congratulations!
Of course, Grey Goose is now owned by Bacardi, a U.S. company, based in Miami, Florida.
You ever try Monopolowa vodka? 100% potato, from Austria, and an absolute steal at around $12 the quart. It;s the preferred variety for my Euro and Russian friends here in the States [Texas(Houston)].
A good potato vodka will beat any grain vodka hands down. I prefer Polish brands personally.
Congrats on the LT Col!
Thanks all! I hope you hoisted one with me.
Scotch whiskey from the UK and Vodka from Poland?
Isn’t good American booze good enough for you??
Remember who pays that promotion pay!!

JimPv: I also had a growler of fine Old Dominion Brewery’s Hop Pocket Ale, made right here in Northern VA!
Army Lawyer: Huzzah! to you! What a great old phrase, very Flashman-ian.
I served in Iraq with some Polish GROM commandos and Belvedere is definitely my brand now!
Congrats!
