  1. 🥃It’s day 2 of -20° weather 🥶 and I’m dreaming of a tropical vacation. What better time to talk about rum finished whisky? 🌺 🏝Rum casks are often whiskey casks first. Usually charred barrels that previously held bourbon or Tennessee whiskey are sent to rum producers in the Caribbean. In warmer climates, spirits mature faster, and barrels maturing rum can be used repeatedly. Eventually the barrels do lose their oak flavor, so whisky makers need to be careful choosing their rum casks, or create their own rum maturation facility like Glenfiddich. Not all rum is created equal, but typically a rum cask will fuse whisky with tropical fruit, coconut, and caramel flavors. Here are a few whisky rum finished bottles for all types of whisky lovers: ▪️Scotch: The Balvenie 14 Year Caribbean Cask (see tasting notes below), Springbank 15 Year Rum Finish, Ardbeg Drum, Benriach Curiositas, Glen Scotia Double Cask Rum Finish, Oban 11 yr… the list goes on and on! ▪️Irish: Tullamore Dew XO, Teeling Small Batch ▪️Canadian: Pike Creek Rum Finish 10 Year ▪️Rye: Angel’s Envy Rye ▪️Bourbon: Breckenridge Rum Cask ▪️Adventurous rum/whisky drinkers: Barrel Tale of Two Islands - this is a Jamaican rum finished in Islay whisky casks! 🤯 🥃The Balvenie 14 Year Caribbean Cask - 43% abv - The nose is suntan lotion, vanilla and tropical fruit which appear on the palate with the classic Balvenie fruits and spice. A medium smooth finish always make this bottle a crowd pleaser. I usually introduce this one to Bourbon & Irish Whiskey drinkers that are making the leap to Scotch whisky. Share your favorite rum cask whisky in the comments. Slàinte Mhath! 🥃 @duchessofislay #scotchwhisky #rumcask #balvenie #balvenie14 #singlemalt

  2. 🥃One word today: Peat. 🗣Lingo: “Peat freaks” are people that think smokier is better. “Peat Monsters” are whiskies that have high peat PPM. For the novice: Peat = smoky flavor. Phenols give peat its smoky flavor and can be measured in the malt (barley). However, not all of the phenols end up in the final spirit, so the PPM just gives you an idea of how smokey a dram MIGHT be. Personally, I can’t taste any smoke in a whisky with 10 PPM or less. 🔥Let’s see where your favorite bottles lie on the PPM (parts per million) scale: (These may vary a bit based on release) Bruichladdich Octomore 11.3 - Islay - 194 PPM Ardbeg Hypernova - Islay - 170 PPM Ardbeg Supernova - Islay - 100 PPM Ardbeg 10 Year - Islay - 55 PPM Kilchoman Machir Bay - Islay - 50 PPM Longrow - Campbeltown - 50 ppm Port Charlotte - Islay - 40 ppm Laphroaig 10 Year - Islay - 40 PPM Ledaig 10 Year - Highland - 40 ppm Bunnahabhain Toiteach - Islay - 38 PPM Caol Ila 12 Year - Islay - 35 PPM Lagavulin 16 Year - Islay - 35 PPM Ardnamurchan - Highland - 35 ppm Jura Prophecy - Isle of Jura - 35 ppm Balvenie 17 yr Week of Peat - Speyside - 30 ppm Bowmore 15 Year - Islay - 30 PPM BenRiach Smokey Twelve - Speyside - 25 PPM Talisker 10 Year - Isle of Skye - 22 PPM anCnoc Cutter - Highland- 20.5 PPM Highland Park 12 Year - Highland - 20 PPM Tomatin Cù Bòcan - Highland - 15 PPM Glen Scotia - campbeltown - 15 ppm GlenDronach - Highland - 14 ppm Springbank 12 Year - Campbeltown - 12 PPM Wolfburn Morven - Highland 10 PPM Oban 14 Year - Highland - 10 PPM Balvenie 12 Year - Speyside - 7 PPM Glenlivet 12 Year - Speyside - <2 PPM Bruichladdich Classic Laddie - Islay - <2PPM Bunnahabhain 12 Year - Islay - <2 PPM Old Pulteney - Highland - <2 ppm Hazelburn 10 Year - Campbeltown - 0 PPM Typically the Islay whiskies will be high and the Speyside’s low but not always, as you can see here. Really the only way to know if you are going to like a whisky is to taste it, so take all this with a grain of salt. What is your favorite whisky? Did it make the list? I keep updating this list based on your questions so keep them coming! Slàinte Mhath! 🥃 @duchessofislay #islaywhisky #scotchwhisky #scotch #whisky #peat

  3. Alguito SUPER diferente a lo que estoy acostumbrada! Y que si la regaba? Y que si no me salia como me imaginé que las cosas saldrian? Y que si la nieve no se mira chida? O si se mira chida pero le mancha su vestido a la quince? Que si todo sale bien pero ese rollo de nieve adentro de un barn nomas no se mira chido? Bueno, para cubrir y por si salia bien o no esta parte de la session que nomas en mi mente me imaginé y que neta no hicimos pruebas previas asta que ya comenzamos a tomar las fotos de adeveras, tambien le tomé fotos a la quince en otra parte. Ya saben; asi como para decir “pues las fotos de la nieve salieron bien culey, pero que tal estas otras en el zaguan?” 🤣😂. Les voy a ser bien honesta, aunque nieve dentro de un barn solo lo he visto en las peliculas del nacimiento, la verdad me encantarón!!!! Mi vision era mucho mas simple y romantica y ligera de lo que terminó saliendo de aqui! Me siento orgullosisima. Pero en esta si les confiezo. Todo salió de pura chiripada! Aunque mis clientes hallan pensado que yo ya me las comia ardiendo, la neta no sabia ni que carajos canijos estaba yo haciendo! Aqui les dejo una de esas sessiones del 2024 que me ponen la piel de gallina y me hacen pellizcarme. Neta! No estoy soñando y estas fotos las hice yo!!!!! 🙏🏼🤍 #snow #letitsnow #quince #quinceañera #epic #epicphoto #epicphotographers #epicphotography #yourockphotographers #radlovestories #magmod #madewithmagmod #canon #sweetfifteen #quinceañeradress #quinceañeraphotography #quinceañeraphotographer #laphotographer #houstonphotographers #houstonquinceañera #dallasquinceanera #fortworthphotographer #dallasphotographer #dallasquinceaneraphotographer #nieve #quinceañerainspiration #quince #quincedress #christmas #christmaslights

  1. Famous Sachertorte at Café Sacher Wien? Yes please 🍫❤️ If you visit Vienna, coffee houses are a must-go. Their coffee house culture is unique to the city; elegant, historic, high-end, variety of freshly made cakes & pastries, and just pure delicious! Café Sacher (in Hotel Sacher @sacherhotels ) is one of the most famous, and don’t be surprised if there is a line to get in. My suggestion is go early when they open, order a Sachertorte, and pair it with a Viennese Melange for your breakfast 😋 (Hubby had eggs tho lol) Sachertorte - dense chocolate cake with a thin layer of apricot jam in between two halves, coated in dark chocolate on the top and sides. Served with unsweetened whipped cream. Viennese Melange (there are some variations)- one shot of espresso, steamed milk with froth, and whipped cream. “Oh, that he may not discredit me tonight!” – These words of Prince Metternich of Austria marked the beginning of the story of the Original Sachertorte in 1832. The court of Prince Metternich had requested a dessert for a special occasion, but the chef was ill at the time, so 16-year-old apprentice Franz Sacher filled in. The cake he created could not have been more delicious.
 The Original Sachertorte is still hand-made using Franz Sacher’s original recipe to this day, and is best enjoyed with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream. You can enjoy this treat in Vienna, Salzburg, and they also ship WORLDWIDE so you can send it to your family, friends and colleagues 🌍 (Chocolate) dreams do come true😍❤️ #sachertorte #sacher #originalsachertorte #sacherhotels #vienna #traveltoeat #ilovetraveling #visitvienna #chocolatecake #wien #foodiesofsf #bestfoodsf #foodiesinternationalchat #globaleats #bayareafoodie #travelaustria #ザッハトルテ #ウィーン #sflife #foodlover #sfeats #traveleurope #eeeeeats #eurotrip #sffoodie #bayareaeats #海外旅行 #internationaltravel #ilovechocolate #myfirstreel
