Whisky Tasting.
Last night my friend took me to my first whisky tasting as a birthday present. This was a different one to a normal whisky tasting as he said normally you sit around and the presenter will tell you about each whisky and all the flavours. Last night you got a stamp card and could try 10 different single casks. Unfortunately they did forget to stamp them on the passport sometimes our 10 drink was closer to 14/15 drinks.
There was a mixture of them, one from Japan Kawasaki and the rest from
Scotland like Grants, Ardbeg. It is always interesting trying so many
types over a short period. We started at 4pm and finished at 8pm
I ended up buying a bottle.
After the tasting we we thought we should go to some cocktail bars We went to Eau De Vie which is a 1950's style bar with the waiters in suits and the drinks are amazing (similar to the Rum house in New york). I have no idea what I was drinking by that stage. Then we went to 1806 which has newer styles of cocktails.
After waking up this morning I needed my coffee.
We need to go buy coffee beans so we can make pour overs and my favorite Chemex.\
Kind Regards

LOL! At least you were coherent enough to take some photos! What a cool birthday present! That is such a pretty chemex, I need to convince Kyle to get one, because pour overs are THE BEST.
ReplyDeleteThat is actually a chemex glass which i bought from Orens Daily Grind, http://www.amazon.com/Chemex-CCM-Handblown-Glass-Mug/dp/B00ICKV5CM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1396908971&sr=8-1&keywords=chemex+glass+mug
ReplyDeleteI bought my Chemex from William Sonoma as it was the cheapest place $36 i think for a 6 cup. the 6 cup is better than 3 cup as there aeration is better.
Since we bought beans on sunday afternoon. This Saturday i will do a Chemex blog ;) I will tell you about my hand grinder as well
