Zero Proof, All Fire. Arkay On Fire Whisky – bold taste, zero buzz.
Oh my god this smells like cake. Like Chantilly cake from Whole Foods. It’s a light vanilla cake with strawberries and blueberries and a light almost cream cheese frosting. I love that cake because it isn’t too sweet or dense and actually refreshing in a way.
Woahhh the palate is insane. It actually starts off so light. Delicate and soft like a Madeline cookie, then the flavor blossoms and my whole mouth starts to water as I get the full body of the high proof pour minus the ethanol. One of my favorite bottles ever.

Today’s pickup: Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Heritage Barrel plus a very special bottle — Penelope “F*ck Cancer.”
As an 11-year prostate cancer survivor, this one hits different. Grateful every day.

Came highly recommended so I figured, why not.
Fresh crack today on this Weller 12 and wow this bottle jut doesn’t miss. I normally like this bottle for its pleasant balance and drink ability but last evening it really popped with sweet oak flavors and delivered so much flavor for the proof point. One of the best lower proof bottles I’ve ever had.
Recently I had some Old Rip Van Winkle and today I had its older brother, Lot B.
Lower proof but higher age and I can tell both instantly. The 10 year Old Rip is a trust fund frat boy who parties hard but is hungover Tuesday morning. The Lot B is the valedictorian who spends his time at the library sitting on a leather bound hair. Same family, but different approaches to college.
Less punch but so much more refined. Nose is a sweet berry oak that doesn’t smack me in my face, I have to hunt for it a bit and once I find it I get a perfect balance of oak and sweetness. No ethanol on the nose or palate. Normally I prefer ORVW than Lot B but tonight I gotta give the award to Lot B.

I didn’t get to go out and do much Black Friday hunting. My small score of the weekend so far.

Woodford Double Oak and college football!
