Whiskey & bún bò Huế

Yesterday, I brought a bottle of Kirkland Signature 16-Year Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky to a friend’s house. I copped it a few months ago and I wanted to try it with my buddies. Between the three of us, we finished the whole bottle and it felt nice—at least for me.

It was a fine and smooth bottle of Scotch straight out of Costco. It didn’t have a complex taste, but it had a slightly smoky quality and a dollop of sweetness. Because it didn’t have a strong, distinctive personality, it went well with a bowl of spicy bún bò Huế. Of course, it only got better with a bit of HaH! Chili Sauce.

Truth be told, I enjoyed the bottle because of the companionship. Drinking and bullshitting with my two buddies made the dreary, rainy Sunday late fucking afternoon brighter. Cheers, fellas!
