Ouch kicking myself following a Hibiki 17 but the background is up there.
Purchased the crown royal rye on a whim I'd never seen it. $16 a bottle who cares if it sucks it goes into the cocktail collection. Not bad a little thin but that is to be expected. More maple then you would expect for a rye.

Introduced our selves to new neighbours with an 16 year old Ancnoc, 20 year old Littlemill, 20 year old Tomatin and finally a 37 year old Bunnahabhain. I think we made a good impression......
How was it? '04 was a tough year in France.
