@Fishy....was able to pick up a bottle of the Macallan Edition #3.  Got one for you to try....John got a bottle as a gift and we killed it Christmas eve....Basil Hayden Dark Rye.....yum!

The new Basil Hayden’s Dark Rye whiskey, according to those behind it, brings into one bottle an interesting mix of alcohol to create this expression. What you’ve got in this is Kentucky straight rye whiskey, with its characteristic spiciness, balanced with the soft, rounded presence of Canadian rye from the Alberta Distillery. These two ryes are then touched with California port to add both a hint of sweetness and a deep ruby color to the final blend.

That's sounds delicious. I'll be looking for it.

my 3 day priority shipping from the Sister order has now turned into 5 day shipping.

Still sounds like a priority to me. Did you pay them yet?

49°, wouldn't be a bad day to be on the golf course if I didn't hurt so much.

69° would be better though, amIright?

I'll definitely try that one. Did you try the #3?

Not yet, waiting for the holidays to settle down.

Can it really be that good without any fruit, chocolate, or peanut butter infusion?

The added port DOES give it an interesting dark fruit quality

TASTING NOTES
"Winey notes lead on the nose with a range of red fruits from juicy plums to sour cherries, along with vanilla, and just a touch of rye spice. A creamy-vanilla palate is dominated by wine-soaked fruits — think the morsels you'd pluck from a downed glass of sangria. A short finish offers more of the same, plus cocoa powder, oak, spice, and pepper. Though a bit one dimensional, it's easy drinking and plays well on the rocks or in cocktails. "

My question is how is ALL of that "one dimensional"?

Very good question.  quite the laundry list of one dimensional items there...of course, there is the thought that if you combine all of the dimensions into 1, then it's one dimensional...
I think I need a drink.

Shame CarolinaDave isn't still on, his Dysons are on sale at BB&B.  Price still not as good at what Home Depot had for Black Friday...

Regardless of all that stuff, it is rather tasty.  Very nice after dinner.  Pairs nicely with a La Careme by Crowned Heads.

just got my 1st "we're closed because of the snow tomorrow" e-mails from a NE vendor.   Aren't they supposed to  know how to deal with that kind of stuff up there?

Kind of interesting that we tend to describe tastings in thirds.    Cigars of course are just thirds, adult beverages are usually are discussed in nose/palate/finish, cologne/perfume is described with top notes, heart notes and bottom notes and of course Dean has his menage a trois.  Just an observation.

Problem is the storm is going to hit New England during the morning and day tomorrow and there is just nothing to be done with that snow and wind but hunker down and stay off the roads.  Our Mass. sites already have announced closings.  Noreasters are something you ride out, not push through.
