RE: Snow + Cold = Bourbon

in Whisky/Whiskey10 months ago

Looks like a fantastic dram of whiskey. I do need to get myself those beautiful Glencairn glasses. I love reviews like this as I too am not very clever with the various taste profiles :) I can feel the warmth you speak of, reminds me of a dram of scotch I had out of my hip flash the first time I saw snow for the first time, on top of Ben Nevis.

I agree about stretching good bottles. I do the same for my Scotch, especially as it is so costly here in India. Same goes for my cigars. Enjoy for the enjoyment and savor the moments, I say.

Great post.

A while ago I got a nice bottle of bourbon for myself and a friend of mine. He had his bottle gone within a week. I am still working on mine and it has been probably a year ago now. I had another whiskey recently where it had some pretty distinct fruit notes, but usually it all just tastes like whiskey to me! I'd like to get a nice flask sometime. My buddy has one and it is fun to take a pull while we are playing disc golf.

I too want to buy a good one, the one I had was from a Pound Store. I just had to buy it having read about hip flasks in the detective, spy, and war stories. :)

I love to hold on to beautiful bottles even after it has emptied, especially for smooth whiskeys. It is a very contentious issue between my wife and me as she feels things should be disposed asap :D

I totally understand that last part. My friend has a guy that turns old bottles into desk lamps. Some of them turn out really cool.
