Kay Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 @mappy and other bourbon people, if you haven't tried it, Knob Creek Smoked Maple Bourbon is GOOD. Had last weekend at friends', they mixed w little extra maple syrup, lots of ice, lemon twist (I believe that was all) and it was so good I can't stop thinking about it. I usually drink b straight, this was delicious that way, too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also thought the level of smoked maple in the Knob Creek was exactly right...there but not at all overpowering. The extra maple syrup really worked in this drink though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 All this complaining about the wind. I like the wind. The noise through the forest, the rattling of the shutters outside the window. And in the case of a strong storm force wind from the due south, the weather stripping under the front door that sounds like a child playing a kazoo very badly! Only when it gets ridiculous say like that scene in Superman II, that is too much. What made me think of this ridiculous clip was a video I saw of the storm over in the United Kingdom of people walking and falling over. Sensationalized press throwing numbers like 122mph winds (obviously a peak reading on the immediate coast). WS dumps do reveal a widespread event with frequent 60-70 mph gusts occurring in the more urban populated areas. Similar to the wind event we had here March 02, 2018. Bring the wind! Without it, weather cannot change. And change is what we need. So sick of this sunshine and rainbows crap! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
