After gathering a collection of spirits and some wines, I realise that for myself, wine is excellent as accompaniment to food and yes, I always order wine when fine dining. But when it comes to drinking the beverage by itself, spirit is my choice instead.
I simply prefer the rich, intense, sweet taste of spirit while wine has varying degrees of tannins that I absolutely appreciate when pairing with food, but not so much on its own. And since spirit is more intoxicating and carries no sugars, it is perfect for drinking late at night to relax.
And I also realise I do not get hangover from quality spirits, quality wines and quality sakes. Otherwise, it’s real bad for me.
My collection of liquor. The best part of liquor is that I don’t need to store them in fridge and I can keep them for as long as I want. There is no hurry to finish an opened bottle within days.
Yasen barrel 40% tastes savoury sweet with intense taste profile of dried fruits.
Kanosuke Single malt Japanese Whisky features the aroma of wood and it totally changes my perspective that whisky is heavy and has strong medicinal aroma. Yes, after this, I start to appreciate whisky. At first, it tastes smooth and bitter, now it tastes smooth and sweet. Amazing.
Nardini reminds of woods and fruits. I fall in love with it at first sip.
Hampten is my favourite. Yes, I’m officially a fan of rum! This is full of the funk if dried fruits. So intense and so sweet.
Yasen Gold speaks of the sweetness of vanilla ❤️
Graoma Red that has the mild aroma of oak but not overwhelming. I love it. Goes perfectly with Lberico ham.
