What's in your glass tonight?

[cmason1957]

Tonight was a wee dram of The Glenlivet Caribbean Cask, a La Gloria Cubano Black Cigar and for the dog two treats. Two for her, two for me. A nice ending to the day.

A little flat/flabby for my taste (I believe that's a style choice w/ this grape though) but certainly enjoyable on this warmish spring day. And at $4.99, I'll drink it all day long and won't complain a bit. Worth every penny, and then some.

Nice! My traveling friend has wrangled his next Farmers Helping Farmers volunteer gig in the DR! It was your pic of the Presidente billboard that convinced him, lolol!

Salted caramel? Whisky? Two of my favorite things! Or as an old commercial once stated: 'two great tastes that taste great together'.

Only thing is, I wish I could remember which horse won the Preakness! Have to look it up, I guess...

Turns out 10 year old Port I made from Petite Sirah/Zinfandel grapes is still pretty freaking amazing stuff......

 

[jswordy]

Never had this version before, but Jacob's Creek was BOGO and there were 2 of these on the shelf, so I grabbed them with the others. We shall see!



REPORT: Low tannin, low structured, medium bodied, mild, inoffensive, unobtrusive. You know – boring!

How’s the sweetness?

 

[ibglowin]

Perfect. LOL I fermented to dry and then sweetened with Alexander's Zinfandel concentrate and then some simple syrup until SG was 1.03 which was what the La Bodega Port was when I made that and it was the perfect sweetness level IMHO.

Picked up a bottle last time you showed a picture of the bottle. Son and Son-in-law showed up the next weekend and that was end of that bottle.
A nice sipper for sure.

I tried to like it, I did. It was a different brand but it wasnt anything great for me. I love the peach whisky though. Yum
