Tis the season for chili & I had a bowl of spicy Texas All Meat Chili + cheese last wk myself. I would have added jalapeños but all they had were pickled. The chili cookers from Terlingua would have been proud.Sterkowski Malone newsboy cap with a local IPA and a crock of chili View attachment 551002 View attachment 551003
The first half is about Hokkaido, its water quality & how the climate is ideal for whisky making. The second half is about the flavours - the balance between the soft sweetness of the cask matured malt and the fruity aromas, the strong peat and the lingering smokiness and sweetness of the oak.@The Shoe Gary, this is the back label for the Nikka Yoichi (Yo - ee - chee?) listed above, the only true single malt of the list. Does the label say anything other than normal label propaganda?

Thanks. I read about Hokkaido being in the cold north. And I read reviews about this malt being like a cross between a smoky Islay & a fruity Speyside Scotch. Even though I can’t buy a bottle here I’m looking forward to trying some shots.The first half is about Hokkaido, its water quality & how the climate is ideal for whisky making.

So yeah, just the normal stuff.
