To celebrate my birthday I'm having one of my very last bottles of my favorite beer - Rogue Hazelnut Nectar (2 left) paired with Ol' Smokey Salty Caramel whiskey.

We've been trying to eat up anything perishable.
So tonight I'm trying to empty the beer fridge.
Wife says it's not the same thing.
I beg to differ....
 
The new crop of limes is coming in and they are great. Lime juice, Patron Citronge, and white tequila on the rocks is the order of the evening.
 
OK that's respectable. :)
The bad news is that I chase one can of high % ABV with several Coors light piss water brews of 4.2% ABV, it's a yin and yang balance I've been trying to achieve for many years now with limited success. Some nights the results are better than others.
 
The Macallan 12 Year Old

Smooth, rich, and confidently understated. Right away you get sherry sweetness, oak, vanilla, dried fruit, and a touch of spice. Warm without being harsh.

The finish is long, mellow, and just complex enough to remind you why Macallan built its reputation in the first place.

ABV: 40%
Verdict: 8/10

Not flashy… just polished and dependable.

Barcelona bonus:
Hits especially well watching the sun drop behind the cathedral while the city slows down below.

Classic sherry dram. I figured @sobo would approve, being an enjoyer of Aberlour.

I settled on a Glenfiddich 15 year old Solera Vat this evening. Sherry notes as well, mellowed from the solera vat, where technically, there are whisky molecules still there from when it was started in 1998 (I was able to drink out of the vat on the last tour of the day on a Friday afternoon once :rolleyes: ). One of my favorite "regular" drams.

Nice view!
