You’re right, it is creepy. Marionettes and Puppets do that. I was going to change it up soon to something more soothing but haven’t got around to it. Yet.

The idea is to get the volume of whisky smaller and hence have more exposure to the oak. At 48% it is quite soft. The oak is present and seems to quell the punch of laphroaig's normally pungent peat. Flavors of caramel, floral oak, and coal pit bbq dominate the finish. Good stuff, but not as good as the Cask Strength, IMHO. I am looking to pick up a bottle of Frog. I had that triple wood and I was reminded about this peat thing. Is the Cask Strength way to go?
lovethehaze Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Hop butcher “America The Beautiful “ canned 6/19/19; yesterday for anyone whose paying attention, lol. 1776 never 4get stamp . smell is mild dank and ripe citrus taste is typical pale ale but maybe a little lighter and bitter like an West coast IPA. It does have some mango ? and stone fruit flavor but mostly malt backbone more of a true pale ale ???? our of ????? need to come back with some haze bombs soon 3
lovethehaze Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Hop butcher “Odin’s breath” colab with Madtree. Canned 6/18/19 stamped slippy the slipper. smell is orange creamsicle and super ripe pineapple. taste is super sweet pineapple and cream at the end you can taste the pine but it’s a sweet pine pretty sweet tasting but is 8.25% has some liquor in it but the sweetness manages to fool you.. at least me in a thirsty Thursday. ???? out of ????? again. Not bad not great I still say time for their stand alone haze not much better out there than that. 3

lovethehaze Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I'm a sucker... The owner of this was in the store. He approached me with the first batch of his product. I'm a sucker for supporting local business, and I could tell distilling is this guys dream. 95% rye bill, finished in Aspen cask. Aspen is an aromatic wood. I would actually place it as a distant cousin of pine. Unfortunately, not a fan and I'm not sure if theres much of an audience for it not a sucker. Good intentions are always a good thing. Blessings will continue to come your way !

I need to splash some bitters to cut the flavor of this perfumey wood. Shame for a $60 bottle. I'm open to suggestions to cut with anything other than bitters, if you got a tactic. Coke Zero?

CampDelta369 Posted June 24, 2019 Posted June 24, 2019 There is something about a good Burgundy that’s sublime. The nose on this young SLB is stunning for a $40 bottle. Cherries, Strawberries, underbrush, game meats, herbs. This ain’t your sisters Pinot Noir. 3

Looking for a rye that is rough around the edges (not hot, just an angry grain bill), spicy with cherry, the way American rye used to be? This is my recommendation. My grandfather was a bootlegger in AL, in prohibition, and made stuff similar. This is smoother (from what I recall) but the taste is still there. Now we talking! I’m looking for a straight up rye. One reason I like the grain, it’s a bit nasty. Haven’t tried Redemption yet.

Of all the wines I've tasted in my life, I've never had the privilege to try red Burgundy, I've had a few white Burgs but never red. Is it very different from American Pinot Noir?
CampDelta369 Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Different on many levels. I love a good white Burgundy as well. I consider it a treat since it is much more costly than a sauvignon blanc or sancerre. The good red bourgognes are the same, they cost more than most comparable Pinot noir. Its a habit i do not recommend for that reason, but it is fun hunting. I really like the Burgundy that expresses earth, and gaminess. The best evolve in the glass and aging is required. This one was very young and shows good promise. Finding an excellent Burgundy for <$50USD can be challenging. Just like CCs, if i find a wine with my favorite profile i will buy a case and lay it down. 2

CampDelta369 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Sangiovese done real well. Dark cherry, leather, anise, earth, and still good acidity and tannins after 18 years. It has has legs. Bloody deliciousness. Cheers 3
CampDelta369 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 American Single Malt. At 50% I choose to sacrifice one proper ice cube. Still good heat. Cheers 2

RicoIsHere Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 today I had to try several spirits. I was cooking, grilling, and enjoying a relatively relaxed day. My favorite was the Glenmorangie Astar! 2
Popular Post CampDelta369 Posted July 7, 2019 Popular Post Posted July 7, 2019 This is really good juice. Saint-Julien. A favorite Chateau. My patience is rewarded as this bottle from 2004 vintage is now peaking imo. A+ Grilled Duck Breast. A culinary treat paired with this Bordeaux. Cheers 6
