If there are two things I like more than anything else, it’s whiskey and Christina Hendricks’s otherworldly breasts (cats in clothes are a close third). Hendricks is a scotch drinker herself, as evidenced by both her opinion in Esquire — “It’s the most impressive drink order. It’s classic. It’s sexy” — and photos from her holiday party last winter.
Of course, a whiskey tasting with Christina Hendricks seems too perfect and beautiful to happen in this ugly world, but that’s precisely what happened in Los Angeles:
When the out-of-another-era glamorous and gorgeous Christina Hendricks hosted a private dinner and Johnnie Walker pairing at the penthouse of the Chateau Marmont, it seemed a match made in Don Draper heaven.
The evening unfolded with close friends of Hendricks on the terrace—including her husband, actor Geoffrey Arend, and whiskey master Stephen Wilson—sipping Johnnie and Gingers (Johnnie Walker Red Label and ginger ale) and Blood and Sands (Johnnie Walker Red Label, orange juice, sweet vermouth and cherry syrup) and nibbling from plates of bacon-wrapped dates and teeny beef Wellingtons.
The whole article over at LA Times Magazine (shared by awesome reader Jonathan) is basically abbreviated booze porn with pictures of Hendricks, also known as AWESOME. God, I would love to argue with Christina about whiskey (or whisky, if we’re talking scotch). I’m not a big fan of blended scotches, but I do enjoy a good Blood and Sand.
Crap, what time is it? Morning? Well, it’s five o’clock somewhere. *shakes rye Manhattan*


I’d rather attend a Christina Hendricks tasting, provided her ugly-ass, must-have-signed-a-deal-with-the-devil husband isn’t there.
Hey, look. A fatty. I guess Tyler was too busy fapping to Rosie Odonnel to post this.
If I wasn’t eating organic cinnamon toast crunch with rice milk right now I’d be masturbating. Oh, why not.
Keep hearing about this woman… and I have to agree with all that’s been lusted over her.
That’s not a Blood & Sand. It’s Cherry Heering, not cherry syrup.
Farthammer your severe criticism of Ms Christina Hendricks frame would lead me to beleive that you are a wealthy business man with high standards, that has a variable plethora of beautiful models to choose from….
But with this being the internet and all and your in the comment section with the name “farthammer”
You’re probably just a virgin
My LA Times Magazine was home delivered with a gallery of Christina modeling hats. Thanks for missing the point LA Times Magazine.
Rich Sommer, the guy who plays Harry Crane tweeted about this last week.

I attended a Balvenie/Glenfiddich scotch tasting and dinner in Vegas a few weeks ago, and it basically went just like this one with the addition of the teaspoon of water, the passing of ingredients to smell, and when someone asks you how you drink your whisky, your one and only reply should be,”I’ll drink my whisky any goddamn way I please!” (THICK Scottish brogue). These guys must work off a script or something.
I would highly recommend going to one if you get the opportunity.
I always thought that a Johnnie and Ginger was made with the blood of a ten year old daywalker.
Next time she is going to have one, I’ll paypal you 8 dollars to help you go. But you have to puke on her husband.
Her favorite is Snozzberry whiskey. Sorry to spoil the mood.
Pretty sneaky photoshop there.
Took me a minute to notice you photoshopped a bottle of booze onto a bacon-wrapped deep-fried twinkie.
Only half a nip Strange?
wow, she’s a redhead? I never noticed before.
She might drink Scotch, but hot woman know NOTHING interesting about booze (or war). You’d try to impress her with the knowledge that Highland Park is the northern most Scotch distillery in the world, she’d disagree and say that the one in New Zealand is (aren’t good at geography either), you’d then point out the faux paux, she’d flash half a nip; and you’d concede the argument.
I just found an exception to my “There is no reason to ever drink Johnnie Walker Red” rule.
So. Effing. Hard. Right. Now.
I would prefer a Christina Hendricks tasting hosted by whiskey, but this is pretty good.
