This month I became a dad so I needed a special bottle to celebrate with. Mr. Sam has been a bottle I’ve been chasing for a while and I love that it turns heads on those that know and those that don’t know about this bottle. I think because there is Canadian whiskey it turns people away but then you dig a little deeper and see that it also a blend of ultra premium American whiskeys and bourbons as well leaving you with a very special blend. This is easily one of my favorite bottles of all time.
Picked up a new one today. I think it competes with Elmer T. Lee on the nose and palate. Thoughts?
Sugar House Distillery’s American Single Malt. This bottle is smooth and flavorful. On the nose it has a slight citrus and subtle oak and caramel very pleasant. On the palette it has a lot of flavor, kind of an orange zest subtle vanilla and caramel. Finish has a spice and oak to it very impressive. If you enjoy the American single malts this is a must have. @shdistillery did a great job on this spirit. I’m going in for another glass now!
Today I’m highlighting Weller Full Proof. This is a candy store in a bottle and the first taste of this bottle is almost legendary BUT the sweetness quickly overtakes the experience and I usually can’t have more than an ounce of this. I can see this bottle being a hit for the candy sweet, smartees type of experience but it is not a bottle I go for often.
Family in town so I bring out the bourbon, they bring out the cigars. I’m not much into cigars but pairing Makers Cellar Aged 2025 with this Makers Mark cigar was an absolute delight. It felt like I was able to extend and enhance the drinking experience from this glass. I need to try other pairings like this in the future.
