Friday, June 6, 2014 - Firstly, I do not like Caymus. That will offend a lot of folks. The 'regular' has a distinct Play-DOH! taste to me. This Special Selection. however, was the perfect pairing for some ribs with a very light barbecue sauce and gruyere/mild jalapeno mac and cheese with a touch of bacon.
This bottle of Special Selection was just old enough to let out some vanilla, cherry and a hint of blueberry and had just enough cedar to take the edge off. I drank this bottle too early - it could stand another 3-4 years lying down in the cellar based on tannin balance. This one was also a gift and now I'm tempted to buy more, violating my own "no Caymus" rule.
