No hat today as I rode my bike to work, but back home, we cracked open the Tullibardine 228 Burgundy Cask. We enjoyed the 225 Sauternes Cask, so thought we’d try this one. I think I prefer this one. A little less sweet, a bit more spice. Very yummy. The numbers refer to the volume of the casks (in litres). I know the 500 Sherry Cask is also available for a reasonable price here.. That’ll be next on our list. All are stared in ex-bourbon barrels and finished in the respective barrels.

We were kind of busy during the day, but went international in the evening.
Irish. Unspectacular, but pleasant and always on our shelf. Today’s hat was my Stratoliner.

Bourbon. Probably our favourite bourbon to date.

But the smoky scotch takes the cake.

I knew it would get to me & there would be a price to be paid today.

It was the bass player’s but yes, the Canadian bikini was hilarious in shot glass form!

Been a few since I last checked in here. Hope all are well. Straw hat season is already open for business in central Alabama.

Been awhile since I’ve had Ole Smoky— do they still sell it in jars? Great pic!

Thanks Jeff. I think so… that’s the way I remember coming across it in Tennessee. Oddball things like moonshine pickles or cherries and whatnot. This one a friend brought over it smells exactly like salted caramel and tastes great if it is ice cold and taken as a shot… not so much if the temp rises a bit and you sip.. flavors get very overwhelming.

I like the way the ambient light filters through the wine

I did wear my Fed IV today, but it didn’t make the photo.

Tasty.
