5 hrs in the backyard blowing leaves and cutting the grass.  Now on the patio with a Redbreast 12, an Aquitaine Cromagnon, and enjoying a fire in a nice fall afternoon. This Redbreast is REALLY good.

I'm having some Old Smuggler.

My pops use to drink this.  Ha this was probably his more high end scotch.  He also drank something that I think was called Cutty Shark which was a cheap knock off of Cutty Sark but that may not be accurate.

I picked up the Old Smuggler because Ralfy gave it a good review.  It's become something I have now and then.  There are several other blends he liked that are not available locally to me, so still on the hunt.

Crown Royal Winter Wheat release from their Noble Collection in the glass tonight.  I’ve been a fan of this LR series from Crown, so picked up a bottle today.  51% Winter Wheat/39% Corn/10% Barley Mashbill aged in Charred American Oak.  They call it a blended Canadian whiskey, which I take as each of the grains are distilled separately and then blended together.  But, the label write up is not so clear on this.  Regardless, this tastes nothing like a typical Canadian blend.  None.  At all.  While the Mashbill would suggest a wheat whiskey, it is very bourbon-y, and very good.  Early tasting is bringing forth a lot of burnt sugar and baking spice notes, and a healthy punch above its 90 proof point.  I look forward to getting in to this more.

some great scotch and interesting extra-anejo.  2 higher proofers.  glendronach 18 is amazing.  Don't remember having Oban 18 so looking forward to it.  3 Hibiki 2021 limited of which I will open at least 2 & save 1 for posterity.  But check the tequila extra-anejo.  The 1 on far left was most expensive bottle in the pick at about $170.  The 1800 is a sleeper and I'm anxious to try, they sell as simple anejo but it's 8-10 years.  The Chihuahua in the center I've looked for 6 months and l got lucky today

Laphroaig 10 at the ATL breakfast buffet. Pairs well with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and black coffee. Too crowded to pull out the Underberg to round things off.
