More musings than review thinking of our very cold weather (9f last night). There is nothing I can add to the 9000+ reviews 0n MM but it's solid and I agree with the general reviews.
Took a short walk last night and really enjoyed the very cold air in my nostrills. It reminded me of how cold it was once in Budapest and only MM was available at the bar on our river ship. It was without a doubt the best experience with MM ever. It took my brother in law and me a few days to finish their single bottle and then no more bourbon.
The strange thing was how incredible the nose was. Every night the MM smelled better than before. It took lots of discussion and contemplation as to why? Of course, it took another glass as well
We decided that it was the very cold air enhancing our sense of smell. And perhaps the lighted Chain Bridge serving as backdrop to the cocktail lounge.
So tonight it is MM for an olfactory test. The aroma is WOW and my sinuses love being filled. Always enjoy my bourbon better on a cold night and a fire in the fireplace makes it even better. Yes, atmosphere adds to the experience as do friends who also enjoy.
So, take a 10-20 minute stroll in the evening just before cocktail timeand have an MM.
