Hi, have you ever tried gluten-free cereals? If so, are there any you'd recommend?

Hey there, I absolutely have! Besides from the one allowance of cereal, my feeble constitution requires me to stick to a fully gluten free diet. Unfortunately, they tend to have better gf cereal options in the US rather than here in the UK, where the staple of American gluten free breakfasts, the Cheerio, has been bastardised from its traditional oat base into a 'wholegrain' travesty.

There are also a needless amount of UK based cereals that contain malt syrup or something similar, technically making them contain low amounts of gluten when the base ingredient for the cereal itself is naturally gluten free. This really takes out Crunchy Nut and Coco Pops (as well as it's various spinoffs, like the strawberry and white chocolate flavour that perfectly hit every expectation one has of that particular taste combination).

For actual gf cereals here though, I tend to rely pretty heavily on Doves Farm. Their Chocolate Stars are my go to every day cereal, and although I think they could have a more full bodied and interesting taste, the texture rejects even a hit of sog and gives each bite a satisfying crunchy chew. I would recommend chucking some mix-ins in the bowl as well for a more decadent experience, a bit of fresh fruit and chocolate chips make the single dimension of the taste more engaging. Nestle's Go Free Honey Nut Flakes are also really great, and hit the spot if you are pining for some classic Crunchy Nut. I try to make an effort not to buy routinely from Nestle however, so my memory of how they actually stack up isn't particularly strong.

Apologies that most of this was me complaining about lack of gf options, I hope at least some of it was useful. I've got some gluten free cereals sitting on the shelf waiting to be opened and reviewed so hopefully soon this roster of recommendations can grow!

My nose has not recovered from covid yet, but enjoy a review.

there are some delicious notes of Terry's Chocolate Orange and salted caramel under a layer of meaty smoke on the nose.

The palate is all rich smoke, spice, and some spam-ish note.

The finish is rich oily smoke and salt, tinged with the faint memory of a Romeo y Julietta maduro cigar.

Buy this if you can.

Whisky Review Time --- Robert Burns Single Malt Scotch (Isle of Arran)

I picked up a bottle of this from the online store of the PA Wines and Spirits. They had it on clearance sale for $19.99, 50% off from it's regular retail price of $40. So obviously no one was buying it and they need to get rid of it. For $20 I thought I would give it a shot. Did I make a mistake risking $20 on a Scotch I know little to nothing about?

This whisky is made by the Arran Distillery in Lochranza Scotland. That's located here...

In addition to their regular products, every year they release a limited edition single malt in honor of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, who lived and died in the 18th century. Don't know who he is? Well, know this song?

As much as I'd like to do a deep dive of Robert Burns, I'm here to judge whisky, not poetry. According to the distillery, the whisky is aged in ex-bourbon casks. That means they age their whisky in charred American oak barrels that were once used to age Bourbon. They give not age statement but supposedly it's young for a Scotch. It's bottled at 43% ABV.

The aroma of it is very light, so much so I have to stick my nose right in the glencairn I'm drinking from. But I do get pleasant aromas of light sherry, plums, raisins, and other dried fruit. On tasting I notice right away that the flavors of it are not as subtle as the aroma. I get a light taste of the fruity sherry flavor often associated with scotch, but then a very heavy peatiness. It's very smoky and finishes very dry. This peaty smokiness announces itself very loudly and is very in your face. The problem is, I don't know if I like this or not. The flavors are complex and I can definitely respect that but I don't think I like it. I've been trying scotches recently and I've discovered I tend to like scotch that is more sherry oriented, and while I like some peaty smokiness, I don't like it being so in your face. So I tried to tame it a bit by adding a few drops of water. Ehh, it tamed the smokiness and dryness of it to the point that I like those flavors, but eliminated the sherry and dry fruity flavors I enjoy. It doesn't seem like the flavors are balanced. Let me just say for me personally the water trick has never worked, I've never improved a whisk(e)y by adding water that worked with my palate. I'm sure it works with other people, but not for me.

So how do I rate this? Well, to be honest I don't want to rate it. I think it's a matter of taste, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who would say it's great. It's just not for me. If anyone's ever had this before or other Arran whiskies, please feel free to comment and give your rating.

Redbreast 12

Redbreast Single Pot Still Whiskey.

Made from a mash of malted and unmalted barley and then triple distilled in copper pot stills. Matured in a combination of Bourbon seasoned American Oak barrels and Oloroso Sherry seasoned Spanish oak butts for 12 years.  

This is a beautiful whiskey. Smooth. Yes, smooth. I know some have trouble digesting that word, but it is smooth. Rich, complex, thick, baking spices, sherry, cherries, oak. Great finish. 

Redbreast has been on the market for over 100 years. Back in 1903, an agreement was reached between John Jameson & Sons and Gilbeys Wine & Spirits Import Company. Jameson would send spirit from their Bow Street Distillery to Gilbeys to mature. As a spirit importer, Gilbey’s would have plenty of empty Sherry casks to house the whiskey in. (Redbreast 12 is aged in a combination of Oloroso Sherry Casks and Bourbon Barrels.) The spirit wasn’t officially sold as ‘Redbreast’ whiskey until 1912. This was a nickname the whiskey had inherited from the Chairman of Gilbeys, who was an avid birdwatcher.

One of my favorites! Pure exellence.
