Falling for a Revival

I fell in love in October 2015. I will never forget the night we met. We were actually introduced through a friend of mine, and the moment we laid eyes on each other, I knew it was going to be a relationship that would for last a long time.

That “special someone” is a Glendronach 15-Year Revival – a Highland single malt, Oloroso sherry cask, Scotch whisky. I am fan of sherry in general so the instant I learned that this Scotch whisky is aged in Oloroso sherry casks, I knew I had to give it a try to see why my friend treasured it so much.

Its velvety rich, currant, caramel palate with its long lasting finish left me lingering for more. So much that after three bottles of it, I decided to slowly enjoy my last bottle once I learned to realize that they were retiring the 15-Year Scotch for three years. I actually am a proud owner of the last bottle for sale in D.C. I am sure there are secret stashes at restaurants around the area, but I keep this one for me for only special occasions, because you never know when a beauty like this will come around again.

2016

2016. What a year and it is not even over yet. I think everyone could possibly agree that this year has been a year of twists and turns in every part of the world, in almost any area of life.

I have been pretty much absent this year, mostly because I was busy with various freelance projects, and I earned a new full-time position. However, there is quite a bit to share: A renaissance with German cuisine, travels up north to Canada and down south to North Carolina, a new, everlasting relationship with a 15 year Scotch whisky, some of the best peanut butter cookies ever at a Malaysian restaurant, an obsession with sorrel mushrooms, having a day job as a tourist, and enjoying beers at 9:00 am amongst other discoveries worth noting, some of them exploring on my own and some of them with a good friend of mine who recently moved back home.

In any case, stay tuned, as I plan to sneak in few new discoveries along the way.
