The Whiskey Roundup

Whiskey Roundup! 

They sure get it right in this post. Getting into whiskey or bourbon is intimidating. There are a lot of  options out and it's overwhelming for a first timer. One of the best ways to get started, besides picking up a glass, is to pickup a book. I think I'll be adding this one to my bookshelf.

I've shared about Writer's Tears before, but have never had the opportunity try it. I don't know that I've ever seen it at a store.  This description makes me want to go hunting! 

This is delish! Bourbon and cognac casks wow. Bang full of vinella, almost syrupy neat. Beautiful when a drop of water added. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Writers Tears Double oak #SaturdayNightSip #whiskey #writerstears pic.twitter.com/PIfgnGhHrP

What initially stopped me here was the truck. That blue truck is pretty cool! But looking at it further, I liked two things about this. First, it's always exciting for a blog to come out with a new look. Second, and I think this is obvious at this point, I love Irish Whiskey!

Four Roses Small Batch is a fine whiskey. But beyond that, I could really feel the longing to share this bottle with friends. The last few weeks have been weird to say the least. Some day soon, we can all toast and share bottles and get together again. 

Really looking forward to doing this with friends again one day. #whiskey pic.twitter.com/rHpkbYaXvA

This was an interesting read in to the world of Canadian Whiskies. The world has a tendency to see Crown Royal as the only Canadian Whisky offering. As it turns out, there are many to choose from, including labels that are well known, but perhaps forgotten as Canadian.

I love rye whiskeys, especially single barrels. Whistlepig is sure to deliver big flavor!

The flavors are all over the place in this Whistlepig 10 barrel pick by the Bourbon Scouts, which is actually a 15 year barrel. Big rye, dill, cinnamon and nutmeg, black pepper, oak, and honeysuckle. Not a long finish, but a fascinating one!#whiskey pic.twitter.com/l7Ankpt4Oq

My first sip of Knob Creek, I wasn't a fan. I was a college student who didn't know any better. I'm going to have to track down this rye offering!

Tonight’s whiskey choice is @knobcreek Straight Rye. I’m a big fan of Knob Creek in general although I typically drink their bourbon. This rye is solid- not super unique but delicious and easy drinking even at a bold 100 proof. #QuaratineLife #whiskey pic.twitter.com/3OE2Ga7MLp

Jameson holds a special place for me. If I haven't mentioned it before, it's one of my son's middle name! So, I always keep a bottle on hand. The newer bottles that I keep are nowhere near as nice as this vintage one though!

The Sexton

I picked up The Sexton for St Paddy's day after looking for an Irish Whiskey that wasn't the usual Jameson or Bushmills. Don't get me wrong, I like both of those. They're both great whiskies. But, it's nice to change it up some times. The Sexton was recommended to me in a whiskey group on
Facebook and I went looking.

The Sexton

About the Whiskey:

One of the coolest things about The Sexton is that in the midst of a boys club, master distiller Alex Thomas has managed to create an amazing whiskey in a man's world! That is amazingly cool. The Sexton is triple distilled in copper pot stills and then aged in former Oloroso sherry casks, from Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.

From the Bottle:

I love the label and the overall design of the bottle. It's unique. The delivery of the product goes beyond what's simply inside the bottle. Turn the bottle and read as you drink:

Up in the cold grey Northern reaches

of County Antrim

The Sextons tend to the spirits

digging the fresh graves of the 

river rush graveyard

and planting stone crosses

in the soft mowed grass.

Show up just before dawn,

when the dew is glistening

on the headstones,

and you'll catch the

cool morning breeze

carrying the fresh scent of

unmistakable oak from a breathing cask.

Follow that scent into the crypt

and you might find a locked door, 

faintly glowing at its edges 

through that door.

Find the rows of beckoning

European Oak,

once the sacramental casks of

fine sherry, now brimming with Aqua Vitae.

You see, the be a Sexton is a spiritual trade,

and whiskey is their favorite spirit,

Tasting Notes

Color:

The Sexton is amber in color

Nose: 

The Sexton has sweet notes of caramel and spice, not spicy, but cloves. 

Taste:

The Sexton carries the notes of caramel and spice over from the nose, but then you are introduced to notes of vanilla and dried fruit and some nutty notes as well.

Finish:

The Sexton is smooth with a creamy mouth feel. The finish is medium, not long or too short. On the finish the notes of vanilla and caramel return, leaving you with the notes of spices giving you a warm feeling as you set the glass down to enjoy what you just had.

I'm a literature nerd at heart, especially when my passion for books combines with another passion, like whiskey. This would be an interesting read to see how the law makers were thinking back when the repeal of the worst thing was coming about.

Check out this 1933 book commissioned by Rockefeller on the eve of Repeal. Knowing Repeal was imminent... what was the best way to sell liquor with control?

Whiskey Roundup 02/10/19 to 02/16/19

In addition to this blog, I write a food blog, called Me, Myself, Cuisine. Every Saturday, I scroll through Twitter and find my favorite #foodblogger tweets and put together a Weekly Favorites post. Now, using #whiskey, I am putting together a Whiskey Roundup posts!

I'm a big fan of new experimental whiskey releases. Different grains and different finishes can make a really interesting finished product. I'll definitely be on the lookout for this release!

I'm not familiar with the Pearse Distillery. However, I am always excited to see recognition where recognition is due.

I always enjoy reading reviews as a way to explore new areas I've never seen. In this case, this review of Fercullen 10 Year is making me want to head out and find a bottle!

Fercullen 10 Year Old Grain from @PowerscourtDist; a beautiful grain #whiskey of mango, buttery flowers, melted chocolate, ferrero roche and hot strawberries. God, I love having a damn good #Irish Grain. Read my full review below. https://t.co/N5ulwABok4 pic.twitter.com/G5k2hVG1wD

While the writer here is questioning whether Ardberg has perhaps over committed to experimentation, as I have mentioned above, I always look forward to experimental releases. This Scotch aged in rum barrels could be really great. The spice from the rum could be a great combination.

I like this post for the simplest reason. The messing is so simple, yet so important.

This post is so incredibly relatable. I have 3 kids under 5, so leaving the scene to only try to return a few years later, but still still trying to work around the little ones is all too familiar.

I wrote this thing a couple of years ago. It's about whiskey, kind of. https://t.co/DjOYEOzsUF @WhiskeyGate @WhiskeyLiveDub #whiskey
