It’s that time. My quarterly dry weekβ€”to reset my palate, my body, and my brain. The NA beer game has much improved over the years, and this Rationale Japanese Style β€œbeer” makes a great cap to the day. See y’all again October 8. Cheersβ€”maybe with β€œbeer,” maybe with coffee! This is one that contributed greatly to my sherry fatigue, and helped me understand that scotch aged in first-fill sherry casks just isn’t my jam. But I put it to good use in many Rob Roy and other cocktails. Waste not want not. SlΓ‘inte! A lovely single cask from Ardnamurchan courtesy of @klwines that’s both elegant and robust. Creamy, malty, rich, sweet, all the things. SlΓ‘inte!
