| Jim Beam Lineage |
Glasses:
Unity Sensis Plus, Blenders Glass. Mood: full of expectations. Series: Strange
new worlds. Oh my! What
a wooden box, classy but not overdone. Modest, simple, yet noble. The bottle
with screw cap in a wooden frame, somehow Japanese - banzai. Jim Beam - I know
it from Whisky-Cola, supermarket, what cruelty awaits me, what am I doing to
myself - Smile! So the only way to discover the terrible future is to live it.
- Pike. Nose after 1h, shall we? Engage, make it so, take her out,
Execute, Get It Done, Just Do IT, Hit It - Punch It! Candy shop, candyfloss,
already clumping. Crème Brule. Werther's Real Cream Candy. Lots of vanilla and
a hint of Patex on the street. 
Warm rice pudding with muscovado sugar and
cinnamon. Gingerbread aromas in the ether, in the infinite expanses.
Exploration can exact a heavy toll. Not here. Dough and freshly baked bread,
brown sugar caramelising again. Baked apples with vanilla sour cream. Freshly
poured Fritzcola. Brewed black tea. After 3 hours: cellar mustiness. Old books,
umami. Mushroom mince pan with cream and truffle. With water 1 tsp changes the
nose to pistachio ice cream, other nut ice creams whipped very creamy, fresh
waffles. Reconciling my divergent cultures of origin is complex. The journey is
challenging. Mouth: Oily, waxy, coating the mouth, sticking everything
together, but without Patex. The mouth is in a permanent smacking loop.
Demerara raw cane sugar,
cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg - MUS-KAT-NUT! Peanut
butter, gingerbread, gastric bread with espresso. Panna Cotta. Cream sweets,
dates and figs. Marzipan potatoes dipped in lots of cocoa. Water is
unnecessary: the whiskey becomes oaky, tannins are more prominent, nutmeg
grated (again!), tequila. Finish: Eeeeeternal long, nice Kentucky Hugh. The
warmth moves in slow motion down the oesophagus, while hustle and bustle and
everyday life come to a halt - strike again. Cinnamon spiciness and some white
pepper slap after the nice embrace. Water lifts the slow motion. The Hugh
disappears. The whiskey becomes astringent. Even in space, growth - sometimes,
remarkable growth - is possible." -Pike
