Elijah Craig Barrel Proof Bourbon
Description
To sip our Barrel Proof Bourbon is to experience Bourbon in its purest form: Uncut, straight from the barrel and without chill filtering. Each bottle is hand labeled with its unique proof and batch number but the nose, taste, and finish of every sip is pure Elijah Craig. We’re proud to say that remarkable consistency earned us the award of Whisky Advocate’s Whisky of the Year in 2017. With Barrel Proof, you can enjoy Elijah Craig much the same way our Master Distillers do when they sample straight from the barrel in our Kentucky rickhouses. Each batch is an uncut small run of 12-year-old Bourbon bottled straight from the barrel. The variance in proof from release to release presents a unique opportunity to explore the impact of the angel's share and the resulting proof in a small cluster of barrels. My review is of batch B519, which is the second release from 2019.

Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas
Description
Because of Covid, there is a lot of cabinet cleanout going on in our house, and I stumbled across a can of Green Chile Enchilada sauce I had purchased in the past for another kitchen challenge (that never happened). And Russ discovered a lot of rotisserie chicken in our freezer, and urged me to find some recipes to use it up. SO... welcome to my creation!
1 can Green Chile Enchilada sauce (I used Old El Paso)
*(Or use 1/3-1/2 package of taco seasoning)
Directions
Place 1/4 cup chicken broth to your skillet (you may need more; you want the meat to be moist, so the spices will stick to it, but not wet), add shredded chicken and sprinkle with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne and stir well to coat all chicken pieces (the chicken will be a light red color when it is all stirred together). Once that is completed, take a tortilla, add a strip of cream cheese and a handful of shredded cheddar in the middle. Add a heaping spoon of shredded chicken and roll up, placing seam side down in a greased baking dish. After tortillas are rolled up and placed in baking dish, stir together the sour cream and enchilada sauce and pour over the enchiladas, taking a spatula and separating the enchiladas so the sauce flows down between the enchiladas. Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese and bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes until heated through. Let stand for 5 minutes and serve with some Mexican rice and refried beans, if you desire!

Teeling Small Batch Irish Whiskey
Description
Produced by the Teeling Whiskey Company after the Teelings departure from Cooley, the company they started, comes an ambitious small-batch blend. At 46% without chill-filtration, it's an excellent statement of intent. The blend is said to contain a high proportion of first-fill bourbon cask whiskey and a higher-than-normal ratio of malt to grain. From Teeling: This Whiskey challenges the convention of what an Irish Whiskey can be, with layers of unique flavour influenced by unconventional cask maturation techniques. Hand-selected casks of grain and malt whiskey are initially fully aged in Ex-Bourbon barrels, then married together in Central American Rum casks for up to 12 months for a unique, dried fruit profile.
Nose: Cut grass and orange blossom, allspice, hints of vanilla, apple and blackberries
Taste: Spiced, rich palate with lemon, pear, honey, vanilla and dried mixed herbs, a touch of clove and cinnamon
Finish: Medium herbal finish with a light spice, vanilla and caramel
Price: $35 (750ml)
Rating: 92

Tasting Notes
A sweet nose with a presence of caramel. Tasting notes of honey, butterscotch, and a soft woodiness. It's smooth, delicate and calm. Features a smooth finish with a sweet honeysuckle flair.
