Weirdness .....

While we were out today we swung by the VABC with the initial intent to pick up some Scotch so I could enjoy it with a good cigar. Well when we got there I perused the Whiskey aisle and saw a locally made Rye - Catoctin Creek which was made less than 30 miles from the house so decided I had to get that to try.

As we started to get supper ready we cracked the bottle and I poured a dram for Laura (well I poured more like 4 dram but she tasted 1) and a nice pour for myself. We were pleasantly surprised. Mild, a bit of butterscotch and nothing too strong after.

Well since I was cooking and not enjoying this on it's own I decided to be Canadian and have a rye and ginger. Well it appears that not all ryes sit well with ginger. I am not sure what happened but this rye does not pair well with ginger ale. So go enjoy Catoctin Creek on it's own but keep it away from ginger ale.
