Finished a 6 mile run under 50:00 minutes (48:20)!! Getting old sucks 😖
The “carrot on the stick“ was/will be two Fat Tires in a New Castle glass.
Eat a rib-eye burrito , then have a few Busch Lights after some yard work .... Busch is sort of a practice or yard beer !! 🍺

Fresh Ginger, honey, cayenne pepper , fresh turmeric, avocado oil, lil pink salt, powdered cinnamon, lemon juice and water. Alcohol and i do not get along, so this is as hard to drink as a shooter of cheap whiskey. Healthier though.
 
3 Wild Turkey 101's and a Barterhouse 20 to finish up. Too bad Diageo screwed the pooch so bad on the Orphan series, everyone would have loved to know what the real story was on each of these.
 
So...

How is it?

This evening I decided to finally try the current NAS Nadurra (Oloroso). Been avoiding buying any as I was a huge fan of the original 16 year-old Nadurra. The only other whisky on the shelf at my local store that tickled my fancy was Highland Park 18. Not really wanting to spend $130.00 for a bottle of Scotch today, I got the $85.00 Glenlivet instead. It's nice, but doesn't measure up to the original. Sort of reminds me of Highland Park 12 without the peaty heather note. Next time I'll get the HP12 and save 40 bucks.

Ya sometimes strait up especially if it's cold outside.
Some times on the rocks.
A splash of good cola or a chaser.

I have a liking to add it to maple syrup and the egg batter for french toast. An ice cream float and on a steak to hold the spices. Eggnog.

Hell I put that shit on everything.

But ya strait up is good as well.

You got to try the french toast.
 
Looks awesome

I’ve asked about a few other places that look like you’re table is on the beach thinking they’re a place in Naples, Fl called The Turtle Club

It’s Glenlivet so it’s not the smoothest but it’s decent. As you can see I put a bit too much ice in and watered it down. But before I made it bland and tasteless it had some toffee and a faint rum taste. My liquor store had it on sale for ~$36 so that made it a painless and easy decision

Good score then.

The NAS Nadurra is growing on me somewhat. I poured an ounce in a glencairn glass, covered the top and let it sit 24 hours. A faint sulfur note it had is mostly gone now and the sherry/fruit notes are a bit deeper. Still not as good as the 16, and I won't be buying any more at full price. At best, it's worth @ $50 - $60 a bottle.

edit - I rate the value that high because it was bottled at a cask strength of 60.37% ABV. If it was a standard 43% ABV, I wouldn't want to pay more than $40 for it.
