Drink of choice for serious listening?


This is a frivolous topic but probably won't end up any worse than a lot of more technical threads around here. But right now I'm settling down to listen to music for a few hours. I've got a glass of Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon on two cubes of ice which is a pretty good substitute for when you can't get your hands on a bottle of Blanton's.

I also like Aberlour A'bunadh single malt Scotch. No ice. Usually neat but maybe a few drops of water.

So when you sit down for serious listening do you like to have drink? If so, what? Doesn't have to be alcohol of course.

Tonight: Mark Knopfler's Privateering plus a Guiness Stout, an Emperial Stout (from the brewery around the corner, literally) and then, to break the theme, a glass of Four Roses. Then bedtime.
I didn't say I enjoyed Laghroaig, it is harsh, but I think it does have a character. Lagavulin was good as I remember, tasted it once. You know, sometimes you drink what your friends and relatives bring, but I no longer buy anything myself but French wine.
