I never post here about anything non-whiskey related, and these photos do NOT do this food justice. But I just had to share about this very special evening with @chefagain whereby Chef Brian prepares an exquisite meal for an intimate group on a theme—in this case “a night at the museum” with food inspired by famous paintings—and the “fee” is to make a donation or volunteer with a local food scarcity organization. Great food, great company, and a great cause. Follow @chefagain if you don’t already. Cheers! Another excellent Westward cask finished single malt done. I really enjoyed this one, from the vibrant color to the bold yet balanced flavor punch. Cheers! Loving this @klwines private cask of Scarlet Fernet Amaro, aged in an ex-Laphroaig whisky cask. Tried it in my souvenir glass from Kamiya Bar in Tokyo. Incredible on its own and can’t wait to try it in cocktails. Kanpai!
