The tradition continues. Tonight, as with the last several Winter Solstices, I opened the current year's bottle of Midwinter's Night Dram from High West. This year's Act 10, scene 3 is a blend of rye finished in Port barrels. Flavors of stone fruit, mint, and leather dominate my taste. Paired with a Caldwell Midnight Express cigar. ..... Happy Yule and Happy Winter Solstice to those whole celebrate. The sun has set on the shortening days. Tomorrow it will begin to bring light again as the days begin to lengthen. The longest night of the year has come again, take a moment, light a candle to chase the darkness away, reflect on the past year, and bask in the warm glow of the fire. We may be separated from those we love and those whom we call friends but we will gather again. Until that time, celebrate the coming of longer days. ..... "This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year's threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath." ~ Margaret Atwood ..... #wintersolstice #cigar #CigarLover #CigarAfficionado #cigarphoto #cigarsnob #cigarlife #montecristocigars #cigarsandwhiskey #sailorandsticks #TapThatAsh #whiskey #ryewhiskey #highwestdistillery #midwinternightsdram #WhiskeyNeat #WhiskeyAfficionado #whiskeygram #WhiskeyLover #whiskeyweather #whiskeyphoto #whiskeylife #quote #quotestagram (at Coastal San Pedro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmdO1MnLlnP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dill is a note commonly found in ryes, and we have been on a mission to find the most high-dill rye. To date, High West Double Rye takes the trophy. . . . #highwest #highwestdistillery #doublerye #mgp #highdillrye #dill #dram #rye #maltedrye #americanwhiskey #aquavitae #uiscebeatha #uisgebeatha #whiskyaesthetic #womenwhowhiskey #gentlemenshardware #scottishfinesoaps #whiskysoap #kershawknives #whiskeytribe #challengecoin @drinkhighwest @gentlemenshardware @scottishfinesoaps @kershawknives @crowdedbarrelwhiskeyco https://www.instagram.com/p/B2VjDJ6nklP/?igshid=4e9zsuu5592r

Thanks #estancialajolla for another amazing #whiskey and #wine BBQ last night. Picture perfect #sandiego night with great food, people, and of course #bourbon. It was great to finally try some @horsesoldierbourbon, the small batch was really tasty. Another new comer to the event @highwestco had a great selection, and the @estancialajolla barrel pick from @woodfordreserve was one of my favorite drams of the night. Ended the night with #cigars with the boys and was in bed by 10, a perfect #fridaynight. #woodfordreserve #highwestdistillery #horsesoldierbourbon . . . . . . #foodie #whiskeygram #bourbonwhiskey #bbqlife #whiskeylife #lajolla #rolexwhisky #whiskeytime #rolex #instalike #california #livemusic #instadaily #thegoodlife #foodandwine (at Estancia La Jolla) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4pvv_BjSd3/?igshid=emplwqgg4emm

Centennial Manhattan Fizz I wanted to create a drink that is uniquely ours and at the same time reflects the history and geographical location. I decide to use our exclusive High West Centennial Manhattan as a base to recreate our version of classic Chicago Fizz. I love the look of it as I’m a big fan of Ramos Gin Fizz. And I could have done it without locally sourced honey and fabulous Fever Tree Tonic. #grantgrill #highwestdistillery #fevertree (at Grant Grill and Lounge) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9I2mHyFabB/?igshid=54zm0lxe9rrh

Had to try out a bottle of High West Distillery Old Fashioned Barrel Finished Cocktail that I received for my birthday. I must say it is a surprisingly well made pre-mixed Old Fashioned whisky and rye Cocktail. #highwestdistillery #oldfashionedcocktail #oldfashionedbarrelfinishedcocktail #cocktails #beverage #highball #iceball #nightcap (at Monticello, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTn7Ej4jeZv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Post Thanksgiving dinner Capitulo I Gran Habano 20th Anniversario cigar and a pour of the High West American Prairie Bourbon barrel pick from @corked_bixby . This pick was finished for 11 months in a cask that held barreled Manhattan cocktails. The cocktail comes through in the flavors with the sweet bourbon mixing with classic Manhattan cocktail flavors. It's a good pair with this powerhouse of a cigar. .... Raising a glass tonight to those standing the watch around the world tonight. I know they long to be home with their loved ones but they on duty. Special shout-out to the crew of the USCGC Hamilton currently somewhere working with partners in the Baltic. ....
