Today’s dram: Crown Royal, rye
Today’s tasting notes: How do you make traditionally easy-going Canadian whisky bite back? Mix in rye.
This one is 90% rye, though, so maybe it’s actually the Canadian bit that’s smoothing an otherwise harsh rye?
At any rate, it’s a pseudo-sweet, biting-but-smooth dram, just right for a nightcap at the end of a long day.
Today’s thoughts: The long day was mostly in the kitchen, which is one of my favorite places, with two of my favorite people, Mom and The Empress of Whisky.
Between us, we produced two varieties of cupcakes, lemon chiffon pie, lemon syrup, a chicken and pasta dinner, and pizza dough for the traditional lunch tomorrow.
We also played games, told stories, went shopping, and assembled furniture.
All in all, great day.
Today’s toast: To the holiday hustle; it’s the good kind of tiring.
