A nice One-Two...
Haven't as much as touched any liquor for the last while owing to fighting off a wicked virus. So it was a distinct pleasure to get back in the swing of things this evening following dinner (filet mignon and a truly excellent 2007 Quinta do Vallado from Portugal's Douro) with back-to-back pours of Evan Williams Single Barrel and Booker's.
The first, as always, as smooth as silk. The kind of premium Bourbon I wouldn't hesitate to offer a newcomer, given its lovely combination of approachability and substance. The second, a gentle giant of a spirit. Maple syrup and raisins, vanilla, then lots of oak (imagine licking floorboards) and, finally, a nice citrus twist to cleanse the palate and liven up the finish. Passed on the water this time around and didn't mind the absence one bit.
