Michter's US*1 Sour Mash Whiskey 43%
Nose: sweet, vanilla
Palate: clean, creamy with a spiced vanilla after taste
Because I have barely a sensitive palate, I try not to eat when having whiskey because the delicate flavours can be overwhelmed. But I feel like I would enjoy this with a Christmas dessert!

Just a quick snap of the final dram of Whisky Advent 2024, right as my Christmas Eve guests were set to arrive. Just posed things on the sideboard in my dining room, with the table of sweets I've been baking over the last few days in the background.
Merry Christmas!

Another night of prep. This was taken as I was about to trim that big slab of Florentine bars in the background down into individual cookies. The dram's an expression I haven't had before from a distillery that's a nostalgic thing for me: Mortlach 21 Special Release 2020, cask strength at 56.9%ABV.

Fully into Christmas Eve prep now, so here's today's dram with the apple-rye-brown butter blondies I just pulled out of the oven. It's Caol Ila 32 Year Old 1991 Old & Rare Platinum from Hunter Laing, 41%ABV, which went into a cask the year I graduated from college and is the second in a row that has spent more time maturing than my adult children.
