On the 5th day of whiskeymas my true love and inflatable trucking driving Santa shared Bon Accord Whiskey

On the 4th day of whiskeymas, my true love shared a Japanese malt, and I shared Akira Kurosawa.

Mariel came in while I was setting up some plants and a fan and said “What the hell is all this?” I tried to explain what I could remember about Kurosawa’s style and I’m stupid. So we should just watch a bunch of his films as soon as the Christmas season is over.

On the third day of whiskeymas my true love shared with me: Penderyn

It was caramel, smoky, that finished spicy. It was tasty.

On the second day of whiskmas my true love shared with me, a 12 year old Scotch that was smokey as hell and reminded me of resurfacing driveways as a child.

For our anniversary, Mariel got us a whiskey advent calendar. This might be the first time, since becoming a parent, that I genuinely enjoy running out of days before Christmas.

The first sample:
Costwolds, single malt English whiskey.

It was pretty tasty.  The flavor profile charts are interesting and are a good description of the layers of flavor over time when you have a taste.
