White Owl Whisky

So smooth, it's as if whisky and vodka had sex and the lovechild was also The Fonz.
I will be drinking this SO MUCH for the next week or so.

So.. it's whisky that has not aged for long enough to acquire colour from the barrel?

Actually no, i had that same thought, but it's been aged (i vaguely think a minimum of 7 years ), acquired the colour, then been filtered until its clear again and the filtering is what makes it so smooth.

The taste is hard to describe ... more whisky than vodka, but there's a vodka note to it, but almost no kick that either spirit usually has.

A whiskey purist might be horrified, but i appreciate the innovation and think it's pretty damn fine.

I am perpetually horrified of all things. However, I would be curious to taste something like that. Are you much of a whisky drinker otherwise?

Depends on how you define 'much' i suppose.
I can down an entire bottle of Jonny Walker Red is under three minutes have a small collection that includes some scotch, bourbon and that Canadian crap rye, i spent a stupid amount of money on own a few Japanese bottles i grabbed up when the NAS crisis hit earlier this year that have tripled in value (but fuck that i'm still going to drink them!), and it's my poison drink of choice, usually in twelve dirty shot glasses a double over one ice cube unless it's something very good that deserves to be consumed pure. Not stuck up about it tho', i'll try almost anything new, which is how i found White Owl at a party last week.
You?

You?

I am a very active drinker of single malt, with a preference towards Islay. The Ardbeg is pretty fantastic. Seeing how you have some crazed eclectic tastes that bend in that direction I might have to find a why to try your whisky.

Single malts were my gateway drug, then I branched out after trying some of the more funky Japanese distillers, some craft work, and so on. Still a solid fan of Islay tho. Check out the website for the White Owl people, they may be available there. Not pricey either.

Mrs' birthday tomorrow. We're off for a cooked brekkie and beers before I give her her card and I forgot to buy a card. Ballacks.

Do you have macaroni, a piece of paper, and double sided tape or glue?

If so, your macaroni art card options are limitless.

[worry]

Especially if her name is like Cwmwn.

[Tsundoku]

Just saw The Force Awakens.

I'm so going to try a WC in CKII now.

ftfy.

[CowboyYojimbo]

I bought my first brand new car the other day.
2016 Kia Sportage Ex Luxury. Leather interior, heated and cooled seats, panoramic sun roof, reverse camera, satellite radio, folding mirrors, all wheel drive and a glove box that can become a drink cooler.
I feel so successful and adultish.
Bonus points for the fact that I'll be using it to pick up a nice lady for date number 4.

Also I have cupcakes.

[Tsundoku]

Matching red lightsabres for my boy and I. Thanks Santa!

Among other things which I will list later.

Now having pancakes with 100% gen-you-wine Canadian Maple Surple! The good stuff! Yum!
