That is one of two Private Selections I picked up at Four Roses in June and that bottle is OBSO with a 35% Rye and the other one is OESQ has 20% Rye. They are good but the Peerless Single Barrel I picked up the Distillery is a bit better

Ritz-Carlton Astana club lounge - I asked for a few slices of tenderloin and was given 4 steaks instead - really? Unfortunately, it was actually good, and I ate two of them. I also went back for seconds on the warm brownie. I then did 90 minutes on the treadmill out of guilt.

Was in Hong Kong during the T10 Super Typhoon Ragasa and went to the same restaurant for 6 meals , just to get out of the hotel when it was T8 in the evenings when it was alright but not recommended to venture out , quite an experience to have with a non bustling HK for 2 days .. Was staying at The Upper House above the Marriott at Pacific Place / mall . Restaurants are allowed to open when it is T8 but everything closes at T9 . So met others at Auntie AYI , Pacific Place
