Currently on day 3 of what is hopefully my last cold of the season. Scotch alway seems to hit the spot better for me when I have a cold, than does bourbon. So, Tamdhu 10 this evening, to finish up.

Ardmore Traditional Cask, followed by Laphroaig 10.
Laph QC and now Bowmore Tempest CS. Quite good.
It's a Scotch night. After the Ardmore and Laphroaig, it's been Ardbeg 10 and Lagavulin 16.
Danfield's Limited Edition 21 year old Canadian. This might be one of my favourite whiskies. It is hard to think of anything creamier or silkier than this.
Last night I started with The Spice Tree and really enjoyed it. Very rich and full flavored. I moved on to some Amrut Fusion and that one really knocked my socks off this time. There's a lot more wood going on and it kept reminding me of an extra aged bourbon going on in the background that would make but the briefest appearance. I kept going back again to try and figure out the flavor until, alas, the glass was empty.
Nice, The Spice Tree is on my short list. Glad to hear it met with your approval. I keep getting gingery flavours from Fusion: ginger snap cookies on the nose and raw ginger in the mouth. But not in an overbearing sense.Quote:

It kind of tastes like Glenkinchie vatted with...I dunno, Old Pulteney or something. Maybe some Highland Park in there. Very nice stuff, in any case.
Will be bringing out the Tangle Ridge later.
On sale this month at the LCBO! I may pick one up given that description!Quote:
