How would you describe your relationship with whisk(e)y? โค๏ธ/๐
Intemperate?
A pursuit of pleasure?
Self-gratifying?
Epicurean?
Well my muses, my inaugural โfirst dateโ tonight is with a very sensually self-indulgent dram. I know this series is called โI Like My Whisky the Way I Like My Men…โ but this lady is all class and I had to kick off this series with her.
Compass Box Hedonism is โAll Tea No Shadeโ. โ๏ธ๐ธ

TL;DR – She reminds me of White Rabbit Candies ๐: light, creamy, vanilla and toasted oak.
I donโt know about you, but I find it pretty uncommon to come across Blended Grain Scotch Whiskies.
Some quick facts:
1๏ธโฃ Blended Grain Scotch Whiskies are comprised of 2 or more Single Grain Scotch Whiskies
2๏ธโฃ Often Single Grain Whiskies are column distilled making them lighter in style
3๏ธโฃ First-Fill American Oak Barrels (and rejuvenated barrels) will create more vanilla/toasty oak notes coming from the barrel char.
Have you dated this Scotch? Would you go on a second? Going steady? What are your thoughts? Let me know in the comments below.
