Review - The Macallan, Rare Cask, 2021 Release, (No Age Statement), 43%

Epicurus is the one who said something about how the truest pilots are known only by the storms.

It’s storming as I write this. Quite ferociously, in fact. And so, here I sit. As I do, I examine, realizing this community is about to be damaged. Accepting this is about all any of us can do. The thing about storms is that once they come, the only real way to escape is to endure. There is no negotiating with the sky. You can only shelter from it. You cannot divert the wind. You can only…

RENOVATIO

🤞🏌️‍♂️ Lord the creator of heaven & earth, my life is no longer my own,!! Grant me the strength to change what i can & accept that which i cannot change, grant me the faith to accept the challenges & obstacles brought before me, be it a result of others or off my own actions, for we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weakness, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are yet without sin, let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy & find grace to help in time of need. Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, by it  the people of old received their commendation by faith, we understand that the universe was created by the word of god, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible, Lord through the midst of confusion, doubt & ignorance bitterness, resentment & aspire! i bow before you to ask that you grant me the heavens strength to run my race! to not be taken advantage off, to not allow my work and effort to waste and being taken credit for by others, but only by you who have created breath in me, you know me better than anybody else, there is no secret not known to you, through all my great looses & missed opportunities, Lord i pray you make a way, i don't know their true intention but you know mine, therefore since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with god through our lord Jesus Christ, through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand & rejoice in our sufferings.

Knowing that suffering produces endurance & endurance produces character & character produces hope, & hope does not put us to shame, because gods love has been poured into our hearts through the holy sprit who has been given to us, for to set the mind on flesh is death, but to set the mind on spirit is life & peace & joy in the holy spirit. As for now lord iam grateful, i will let the peace of christ rule in your hearts to which indeed you were called in one body & be thankful. 'Therefore do not throw away your confidence  which has a great reward, but the fruit of spirit is love, joy, peace & patience, kindness, goodness faithfulness, as for murders, the sexually immoral sorceress, idolaters & all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire & Sulphur, which is the second death. For everyone who has been born of god overcomes the world-our faith, who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the son of god, in this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trails, so that the tested geniuses of your faith more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire my be found to result in praise & glory & honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ, for by the grace given to me i say to you everyone among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgement, each according to the measure of faith that god has assigned for as in one body we have many members, members do not all have the same function, so we though we are many in one body in Christ & individually members one of another, having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them, in proportion to our faith, if service in our serving the one who teaches in his teaching the one exhorts, in his exhortation, the one who contributes, in generosity, the one who leads, with real the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness for your eyes saw my unformed substances in your book were written, everyone of them the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them, 'no matter how much it hurts now, someday you will look back & realize your struggles changed your life for the better!

SUMMARY

Rayelle didn't think her life could get any worse after she was kidnapped and then abducted by aliens. When her alien abductors are slaughtered by a black-armored enemy, she believes her luck has soured even further. That doesn't mean she's going to go down without a fight, though. Tai'dqei never anticipated finding a human when he agreed to tracking and subduing a small group of smugglers. After he completes his mission, he notices another heat signature nearby. Following signature, he finds a human caged in the cargo hold. Too bad when Tai'dqei frees Rayelle, she flings a cup at his face and runs, which triggers his most carnal of instincts. When sense cleaves through his brain, Tai'dqei realizes something is off with this human and he soon finds out she is not only physically displaced, but temporally misplaced. The two struggle with misunderstandings, being pursued by enemy aliens, and more in this tale of one woman getting back to her home to her own planet and her own time.

"There is reluctance in you, Trull. You hide it well enough, but I can see where others cannot. You are a warrior who would rather not fight."

"That is not a crime," Trull muttered, then he added: "Of all the Sengar, only you and Father carry more trophies."

"I was not questioning your bravery, brother. But courage is the least of that which binds us. We are Edur. We were masters of the Hounds, once. We held the throne of Kurald Emurlahn. And would hold it still, if not for betrayal, first by the kin of Scabandari Bloodeye, then by the Tiste Andii who came with us to this world. We are a beset people, Trull. The Letherii are but one enemy among many. The Warlock King understands this."

Trull studied the glimmer of starlight on the placid surface of the bay. "I will not hesitate in fighting those who would be our enemies, Fear."

"That is good, brother. It is enough to keep Rhulad silent, then."

Trull stiffened. "He speaks against me? That unblooded… pup?"

"Where he sees weakness…"

"What he sees and what is true are different things," Trull said.

"Then show him otherwise," Fear said in his low, calm voice.

Playing games with me means becoming witness of my misadventures. Like standing at the wrong spot and getting trapped in a tent when the camp is set up. 🙈

Edur & Kaztra's conversation here is so fun to write.

because Kaztra is talking about the big problems in her life, and Edur doesn't care

like. i get this exchange

“Anyway, I’m really worried about Rakad. He’s spending a lot of time, only the moths know where, and we haven’t talked in a week.”

“I don’t know what you’re telling me this for. I can’t give you advice on this. Capture a moth and force it to tell you where your husband is.”

this is why i need Edur to be the same age generally as the main characters

Rhulad nodded. His left hand, gauntleted in gold, lifted to join his right where it gripped the handle of the sword. "Yes, of course. Yes. Imperfect. We can never match the ideals set before us. That is the burden of mortality." A twisted grimace. "Not just mortals." A flicker of the eyes, momentarily fixing on the slave's own, then away again. "He whispers in my mind. He tells me what to say. He makes me cleverer than I am. What does that make me, Udinaas? What does that make me?"

"A slave."

"But I am Tiste Edur."

"Yes, Emperor."

A scowl. "The gift of a life returned."

"You are Indebted."

Rhulad flinched back in his chair, his eyes flashing with sudden rage. "We are not the same, slave! Do you understand? I am not one of your Indebted. I am not a Letherii." Then he sagged in a rustle of coins. "Daughter take me, the weight of this…"

"I am sorry, Emperor. It is true. You are not an Indebted. Nor, perhaps, are you a slave. Although perhaps it feels that way, at times. When exhaustion assails you."

"Yes, that is it. I am tired. That's all. Tired."

Udinaas hesitated, then asked, "Emperor, does he speak through you now?"

A fragile shake of the head. "No. But he does not speak through me. He only whispers advice, helps me choose my words. Orders my thoughts – but the thoughts are mine. They must be. I am not a fool. I possess my own cleverness. Yes, that is it. He but whispers confidence."
