This Blog Sucks. Who writes this crap, anyway?

This is very balanced double IPA.  It does not have the normal over-the-top hop punch that is found in other DIPAs.  It has no small amount of sweetness, and an apple cider-like finish.  This is a drink for a crisp winter day, or enjoying by a fire on a cold night.

I have had many whiskies over a long period of time.  I am not a total expert and my pallette is plain.  However, this whisky is #1 in anyone's book.  The is no smoke, a bit of candied orange, caramel, and sweet smoothness.  You will not find the burn on the tongue that is typical of Bottled in Bond 100 proof liquors.  The beautiful aroma that is tasted on the pallette and nose are heavenly.  I almost spend more time inhaling the bouquet than I do drinking it.  Thank you to my neighbor, Tracy, for this outstanding gift.

Get your hands on some Liquid IV.  For a hangover, I recommend diluting this into 32 ounces of water (not the 16oz. recommended on the package). 

Changed music for the best When I first heard the song "Stand By Me" from the first album, and saw the video, I was moved.  This is what music should be, a way to connect different people and cultures through music.

This is a collaboration brew with Drake's Brewing.  Pairing the Bay Area Brewers from San Jose and San Leandro.  This DIPA is a very mellow brew for those who would like to try DIPAs, but can't take a full hops punch to the teeth.
