With the recent highball boom, whiskey has established its position as a food drink that can be paired with food.

Following on from the previous article, the theme of this issue is "Solo Camping. We will explore how to enjoy WILD TURKEY 8-Year-Old with Tomoyuki Sasaki, a stylist with a deep knowledge of the outdoors.

Bonfires, movies and hot bourbon.

Snowline's Cube Carbon Table. The carbon frame makes it durable and lightweight. The aluminum top allows you to put hot food on it, and it folds up compactly. It also comes with a lantern pole, which is convenient.

This is a light from "CLAYMORE. I don't like the white light of LEDs, so I like the fact that I can switch between warm and white colors. It also has a mobile battery function so I can charge my phone."

The sun is setting and the temperature is dropping.

Sasaki: Bonfires are great after dark. This is the best part of solo camping. Watching a movie with a drink next to the fire. There is no more luxurious time for me.

Lastly, you made a hot bourbon. You may not be familiar with it.

Sasaki: I think the overall taste is more rounded, probably due to the addition of cinnamon. I like this one because it is easy to drink. It warms you from the core.

How did you enjoy "8 Years of Wild Turkey" through solo camping?

Sasaki: Bourbon, which I felt was a bit of a hurdle when I was younger, has become more accessible to me, partly because I am older, but more so because I have learned about various ways to drink it. Wine is enjoyed with food, but I think bourbon is more about enjoying it with time and people. I will try to find my own way of drinking bourbon.

What would you do next time you go solo camping?

Sasaki: Next time, I would like to try a simpler bushcraft, with just an axe, cooker, and wild turkey, and then get all the food, fire, and water I need in the wild.
