Day 8. Bourbon. Damn good bourbon. Perfect for my programm today (shopping, 90 minutes at the gym...still getting used to that, started about 5 weeks ago, 3 times a week....this week was double leg day. Not gonna walk much anymore this weekend...but at least I fit in my suit that I wore during my final exam for my apprenticeship. 10 Years ago. 72kg/159lbs done, about 40kg/88lbs left to go), and the rest of the day, gaming. World of Tanks....I want those russian heavies. KV2 stronk tenk.
Anyway, Larceny. Heard good things about it, that's why I included it. Haven't had a decent bourbon in a while...the ones I like I hesitate to buy because they are freakin expensive...looking at you Colonel Taylor and Balcones. Really need to try that Weller 12 soon.
On the nose, I get my beloved banana. That's a note that I simply adore in whisky, and don't get all that often. There are also peanuts, vanilla, sugar and a nice dose of oak spices.
The taste is similar. Banana, brown sugar, vanilla, lots of oak and my personal favorite, cinnamon roasted peanuts. Sweet, just like a bourbon should be. Easy to drink too, not much burn.
Aftertaste is sweet and sugary with vanilla. I'm sad that I only have about 15ml of this (I share all my 30ml samples with my dad. Tradition. Also gives us something to connect with. Enjoying the time we have left, you never know when shit might hit the fan).
So yeah, like yesterday, sweet and sweet. But the difference is, I like that in a bourbon, so this ranks higher. Much higher. The pricetag helps. I tend to enjoy higher priced bourbons more...even before knowing the price. This is in affordable territory and it is yummy. That's makes me happy.
And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to finish this glas, pop open a bottle of cider, and plant some 152mm high explosvie shells into everything that moves. Cheers.
