Snap!Back to work in the morning so I’ll probably have to have a big session tonight to cure the misery
Snap!
Although work involves being in the same spot I watch TV from these days
That looks like a top evening to me!Finally got round to trying out the Glenallachie single cask batch 3 tasting kit.

The 12yo Rioja and 15yo virgin oak were particularly nice. Too bad they are difficult to find outside of a 6-bottle set at 1k - s bit difficult to take the plunge without at least a taster of the 31yo as well...

is that a mini-wine thief you have there for the water? On the odd occasion I add water I tend to use a syringe, yours looks a lot nicer!
Nice.It is actually a dedicated whisky water dropper from these guys - Angel's share glass
Nice.
@mcbainne went 18 first, now on the 15.
taking everything into consideration including price, 15 over 18 every time. The difference in nose, palate and finish is there but it’s not £40+ different.
I really do believe that around £80 is the point with whisky where you start getting diminishing returns. Obviously there are exceptions.
Yeah, now to figure out a way to get hold of some that doesn’t involve me spending £150!Good to know, exactly the same thoughts as mine although King Alexander is a whole different level IMO. Clearly at more than double the price of the 15 it’s never going to be a regular dram but it goes to prove just how good the 15 is
HNY to you too
I have quite a few different Jim Beams and prefer JB to JD. I haven't tried that Red Stag though because I don't like cherry flavoured things. I was put off by glace cherries as a kid - always hated them so stayed clear of cherry things. I believe though that fresh cherries are nothing like the glace ones!
Might have to make this my next purchase.Port Charlotte 10, 50% abv,from the Bruichladdich distillery, heavily peated, yes it is peaty, slight caramel, a smooth one,not as peaty as Ardbeg 10, and certainly not as peaty as Bruichladdich’s other product Octomore, which is mind blowing lol, very very nice though, and i love the style of the bottle View attachment 1436872
It’s delicious, but i’d say it was on the lighter side of what you’d expect from an Islay whiskyMight have to make this my next purchase.
I stuck a bottle of Jura Winter Edition into the Tesco order last night, just to see what it about. Arrived today...will report back on Sunday!
Out of stock on Master of Malt.It’s delicious, but i’d say it was on the lighter side of what you’d expect from an Islay whisky
Love the LaphroigTonight’s trio
Be interested in your thoughts on the Jura. Need to pick up a bottle from Tesco when I do the weekly shop and it’s the only thing on offer that’s interesting me.Tonight’s trio
It’s ok. Nothing spectacular, decent Sherry hit, some spices. Easy drinker.Be interested in your thoughts on the Jura. Need to pick up a bottle from Tesco when I do the weekly shop and it’s the only thing on offer that’s interesting me.
