From the cask.. by maggiemae

From the cask..

This was a private cask that John and his friend bought several years ago. The raw whisky was decanted into a red wine cask and left for several years. John designed the label. His friend was a pilot and loved the Spitfire so it was used as the label as well as John's father's racing Indian motorbike. It was called "Flight 35" We picked up our share today
Thankful for:
Our free (almost) lifestyle with the Covid problems!
Lovely dof and reflection. Sláinte Mhath 🥃 🥃

@happypat Yes, we had a tasting last night, Pat! It was quite strong and a lovely honey malt flavour!

The closest our family came to something like this was the year my uncle decided to bottle his own wine. I never tasted it though- still too young when the last bottle was consumed. To your health!

Amen to the Covid lifestyle being empty nesters and retired. Two of our kids continue to work from home [almost] as if nothing were going on, but the other two kids have 1¾ kids and our son-in-law works in a high school that's going to try to have a combination of in-person and remote schooling. We feel so badly for them. :-\

Sounds possibly yummy… :-)

@rhoing It's tough thinking about all our children and their lives now and not being able to help.
