Relaxing before the big day tomorrow. I’m doing a custom bbq class (private event) for a group of people. It’s gonna be a marathon class from 07:00 to 19:00 => 12 hours. I’m doing brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, Iberico baby backs, pork belly, smash burgers, ABTs, butternut pumpkins, cauliflower, tiger shrimp, crayfish, etc. it’s gonna be a loong day, filled with thin blue smoke! So I’m enjoying the calm before the storm with this one. Cheers y’all!
Drinking TX Blended whiskey. Served over a few cubes in a Yeti lowball cup (my favorite). Initial thoughts are this smells really sweet, like being at a fair, cotton candy and funnel cakes. Initial taste is confirmed, sweet with vanilla and butterscotch, kind of a creaminess too. Not a lot of heat on this one, but does linger with some bitterness. My buddy turned me on to this one, for the price $35/bottle, I’ll give another go. But Clyde May’s, BT & Maker’s are still my go-to’s.
On a whim, I added a splash of Simply Made Like-ade to it. It was a good decision. I’m out of bitters.
