lovethehaze Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 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. ???.3 out of ????? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampDelta369 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 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 Also grilled Duck with a blueberry and Canadian grade A maple syrup reduction. OH. MY 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lovethehaze Posted June 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2019 I'm starting to think i drink too much ..these hop butchers are so flavorful.. puts the old stand by maple wood son of juice to shame. It’s almost like nc vs cc. No contest. Oh well we all have our weaknesses. Cheers ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bill Hayes Posted June 3, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2019 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.....

CampDelta369 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 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 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
