"Степные горизонты источали такие бодрые запахи, что, будь на
месте Остапа какой-нибудь крестьянский писатель-середнячок из
группы "Стальное вымя", не удержался бы он - вышел бы из машины,
сел бы в траву и тут же бы на месте начал бы писать на листах
походного блокнота новую повесть, начинающуюся словами: "Инда
взопрели озимые. Рассупонилось солнышко, расталдыкнуло свои
лучи по белу светушку. Понюхал старик Ромуальдыч свою портянку
и аж заколдобился".


По всему винному миру паника - энофилы, сомелье, купажисты, энологи, кависты и всякие прочие дегустаторы потеряли нюх, переболев ковидом!! Что нам теперь делать?! Какое вино покупать? Где брать гарантии качества? Что пить???

Google them. Одно - прекрасное каберне, второе - бурбон трехразовой перегонки.

Cabernet Sauvignon with 14.5% alcohol not really my speed...too much sugar.

Woodford Reserve is great, but our first love is Basil Hayden.

Sugar?

Basil Hayden; will try, thanks. Does not sound convincing, though. Jim Beam factory, is not it pathetic? Anyway, will try.

Basil Hayden's is the lightest-bodied bourbon whiskey in the family of Jim Beam small batch bourbons produced by Beam Suntory (a subsidiary of Suntory Holdings of Osaka, Japan). It is 80 proof, in contrast with its three sibling brands of higher alcohol concentration (Knob Creek, Booker's, and Baker's).

The Basil Hayden's bourbon brand was introduced in 1992 and is named in honor of Basil Hayden Sr. Hayden was a distiller, and he used a larger amount of rye in his mash than in some other bourbons. Later, Hayden's grandson Raymond B. Hayden[citation needed] founded a distillery in Nelson County and named his label "Old Grand-Dad", in honor of his grandfather,[1] which bears a rendering of Basil Sr.'s likeness. When Beam Industries introduced their "small batch" collection, among the four was "Basil Hayden's," which the company says uses a mash similar to that originally utilized by Hayden in 1792.

The brand expression was originally labeled as "Aged 8 Years", but in 2014, the age statement was replaced by "Artfully Aged", indicating that the brand no longer carries an age guarantee.

They have a 10 year aged version. It is a separate product.

but when going for bourbon (which I do not do often), I much prefer the original BH. It is only 80 proof, mild and spicy. Excellent neat, on ice and in cocktails.

it is not added sugar but grape sugar (certain varietals are naturally higher in sugar); also the riper the grape at the moment when yeast converts grape sugar into alcohol, the higher the wine’s alcohol level is likely to be. Wines that are higher in alcohol often appear sweeter...

In reds I much prefer French Gamay, and Oregon and some French Pinot Noir.

I like Cab fine but much prefer Bordeaux to California (drier and again less boozy).

It is drier; that's why I'm ambiguous. Some bordeaux are ok to me, but... have to train myself, I guess. Visit France more often.

What is wrong with JIM Beam distilleries? I bet Woodford Reserve also has a big name distillery behind it...

It's a huge factory. Industrial approach. Process acceleration. "Artfully Aged".

Кстати, а почему ты младшую дочь не упоминаешь? Она не пьет? Ты вычеркнул ее из завещания?
