This was really good

Noon whistle “edible gummy” aroma is hoppy skunk almost like g13.  Light & refreshing mostly a citrus lemon ? hoppy profile. Canned 4/17/19; can says drink by 7/17/18.. not bad not great. I feel honestly the aroma and smell are the the best part.

One of my favorites. Pick up a case if you like big fruit, licorice, earth, leather, game meats, briar patch stems... sounds wonderful right? 2015 a solid year in Rhône. This is all Syrah grapes, or Shiraz for you mates. 6 months in new oak. It ain’t Penfolds but a Ridiculous bargain at <$20 USD. Cheers

Trying this on a friend's recommendation. Not bad, a little hot.

Interesting, never found that one hot, but what you consider hot and I consider hot are probably 2 different things. I will have to re-sample..... FOR SCIENCE!

Hop butcher “strange shooting star-like lights “ canned 6/4/19  twinkle twinkle  

light and slight lemon easy hop but it’s there  .. grapefruit randomly pretty so so from them. My guess it’s a summer beer with lower alcohol levels. My advice stick to what you are good at

Loved this Malt. The triple wood takes a bit of the normal peat down from an 11 to about a 7 and adds some more dimensionality for me. Great neat despite the expected heat at 48%. Excellent

Went to Jackalope restaurant on the weekend and had the degustation menu which was fantastic. 2015 was a very good year in the Mornington Peninsula and this chardonnay was superb. I can recommend any visitors to Melbourne perhaps add a night in the hotel, enjoy the restaurant and of course, the wine.

bill, cracking restaurant and hotel. the somm needed to sharpen up a fair bit when i was there but love the place. had a couple of cigars in the courtyard earlier this year. fortunately, i was not paying. the place ain't cheap!

Basil Hayden’s bottles rye whiskey and rum blend

5th June, 2019 by Melita Kiely

Bourbon brand Basil Hayden’s has created a rye whiskey and rum blend, called Basil Hayden’s Caribbean Reserve Rye.

Basil Hayden’s Caribbean Rye Reserve is bottled at 40% abv

Basil Hayden’s Caribbean Reserve Rye is a blend of eight-year-old Kentucky straight rye whiskey and four-year-old Canadian rye whisky.

Black Strap Rum is then added to the blend, which is said to give notes of brown sugar and molasses to the final product.

Bottled at 40% abv, the expression is available throughout the US for a limited period, priced at RRP US$44.99 per 750ml.

Rob Mason, vice president marketing, whiskey, at Beam Suntory, said: “With the release of Caribbean Reserve Rye we wanted to give our fans a fun whiskey expression that you can bring out and share during warmer weather occasions, whether that’s mixing it up at an outdoor barbecue or gifting it for a housewarming celebration.

“As a brand that has always broken traditional whiskey expectations, we’re excited to help our fans discover new, interesting ways to enjoy the rye category and Caribbean Reserve Rye does just that.”

The liquor store I got it, said it literally showed up with deliveries on Saturday. He put it on the shelf and people were limited to 1 per person. Going to try and go back this morning and see if I can snag 1 more. It is pretty tasty. Some vanilla, spice, a bit of oak, and on the finish, all rum, totally get the brown sugar and molasses like sweetness.

The shop that I work with just got this in, I had to try some. This was really good, unlike the regular rye which I can only drink one dram of, because it's so sweet. This had the sweetness, but it didn't overpower me. I could drink 2-3 drams in one setting of this. Don't be afraid of the Bourbon/Canadian Rye.......it's really nicely balanced imo. Thanks for posting the info on this fine spirit Ken.
