Some days things just don't go as you had hoped. Toady was one of those days but the daily fight continues. Refocusing with a bottle of Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke bourbon and an Espinoza Habano cigar. Habanos have to be my go-to for cigars. I just find the flavor and intensity to be in the sweet spot for my enjoyment. As for the bottle....there is flavor of caramel and sweet maple sugar and a hint of hickory right at the start. This would make a great smoked old fashioned as the right smoke would compliment the flavor in the whiskey. .... "Before something great happens, everything falls apart.

We’re no strangers to @BasilHayden
#Bourbon, but a Subtle Smoke version? That’s definitely new!

The standard issue Basil Hayden Bourbon was a staple during the early part of our whisk(e)y journey. An approachable crowd-pleaser that never disappoints. On today’s episode of A Tasting at The Murder Table, we’re trying a Basil Hayden variation that they call Subtle Smoke.
Here’s what Jim Beam, the makers of Basil Hayden have to say about their latest expression:
Basil Hayden Subtle Smoke…
This is my maple bourbon smoked salmon on my @pitbossgrills 820 Sportsman. I cured it in salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, and dill, then smoked it at 175 until it hit 145 internal. It was glazed with a reduced maple syrup, brown sugar, and @basilhayden bourbon sauce and it turned out really well. It was smoky, salty, and sweet, and kept you coming back for more. Great on its own, but it also goes well on salads or with crackers. #bbq #smoke #pitboss #smokedsalmon #bourbon #maplebourbonsmokedsalmon #salmon #grill #cherry #seafood #seasonedplate #nsseafood (at Waverley) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkwpAAiNdlP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
