This Russell’s Reserve SiB from 2017 hits all the best notes of the brand—a strong vanilla and caramel foundation spiced with herbaceous rye and a subtle dill note. Cheers! This Ardmore 25 Year cask strength single cask is a beauty. The faintest hint of peat smoke behind classic vanilla custard, honey, and lemon zest notes. Slàinte! 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!
