Thread: Pipe of the Day

Is this the right one?






Vana Tallinn (Estonian for Old Tallinn) is a dark brown and robust rum-based liqueur produced by the Estonian company Liviko. The liqueur is sweet with a hint of Jamaican rum, flavoured by various natural spices, including citrus oil, cinnamon and vanilla.

Vana Tallinn can be shot straight or it can be added to coffee, forming Vana Tallinn coffee in a way similar to Irish coffee.
The liqueur makes a component for a row of various cocktails, also it is possible to serve it on the rocks.

The sweetness and flavours disguise the high alcohol content making it potentially dangerous, especially in a cocktail called the "hammer and sickle" where it is mixed with Russian sparkling wine. The drink is so named because according to local legend, it hits the drinker on the head and cuts off his legs.

It is mixed with 1 part Vana Tallinn and 4 parts sparkling wine or champagne.
The normal Vana Tallinn is also sometimes mixed with milk or kefir to make something resembling the cream liqueur version.

Wow, i didn't know they sell Vana Tallinn there.
It seems to be somewhat popular drink here. I'll try to stick away from it, mostly.
Be careful, that is good but strong stuff.
That 'hammer and sickle' is known as 'Soviet love drink' here. Mostly for women.

Well, this time it's this herb liqueor 'Valhalla': if you know Jägermaister, Vana Tallinn, Riga Balsam or Unicum Swack you get the idea. This one is scented with Kallioimarre or 'Polypodium vulgare' i think. Scary stuff.

Women, or ladies here sometimes drink mixture called 'Soviet love drink'. It's 50% herb liqueur and 50% Russian champange: first comes the hammer to knock off your brain then it's time for crescent to take off your feet. After that, man of their choice has no change. I know: i'm married.

Whew ...... think i'll stick to Cider and the occasional Apfel Schnapps !

In Norse mythology, Valhalla (from Old Norse Valhöll "hall of the slain"[1]) is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. Chosen by Odin, half of those who die in combat travel to Valhalla upon death, led by valkyries, while the other half go to the goddess Freyja's field Fólkvangr. In Valhalla, the dead join the masses of those who have died in combat known as Einherjar, as well as various legendary Germanic heroes and kings, as they prepare to aid Odin during the events of Ragnarök. Before the hall stands the golden tree Glasir, and the hall's ceiling is thatched with golden shields. Various creatures live around Valhalla, such as the stag Eikþyrnir and the goat Heiðrún, both described as standing atop Valhalla and consuming the foliage of the tree Læraðr.

That's where I wanna go..... !

I guess it's the good decision

A week off between classes and I'm cleaning and prepping the house for winter with the wife. To make sure I don't look TOO prepared for hard work, I'm smoking my churchwarden with Frog Morton on the Town. Beautiful autumn day here.
