WhiskyFest Chicago

WhiskyFest Chicago has come to pass, and was very exciting. I went with my sister the libarian, and we met Pookie, Miami Tom, and his lovely wife. We went to a very informative seminar on Rye Whiskey conducted by Craig Beam of Heaven Hill Distillery. Then we walked the floor and saw lots of Kilts and Hoochies. A note for the future to all women, if you're wearing a cocktail dress I don't want to know that you're wearing a T-back as well.


The best drams were Penderyn Single Malt Welsh Whisky, truly worth the money; and Compass Box Oak Cross , very light and fruity. Another good dram was Smokehead Islay Malt, a peaty chewy drink that I prefer. And yes I did salute B&T and Honey by pouring out a little Baker’s
in a salute to their absence.

Now I'm going to go and crash because I've got to go to work tomorrow.
