I fell asleep on the couch with a glass of Springbank 10/100 in my hand. Woke up, finished that off, and had a HP 12 nightcap.

Laphroaig 10, it is very nice.
Tonight I had two Glengoynes: 12 y.o. cask strength (57.2%, or 100 British proof) and a 10 y.o. (43%). These are both excellent. Glengoyne is unpeated, so no smoky thang going on at all. It's like the Anti-Ardbeg: Sunshine, barley, honey, (black pepper in the 12 y.o.) oak ... so fine and fresh and clean. Tastes like it's good for you ... a liquid breakfast of champions for the evening.
Drank a Red Breast 15 today but I don't think it's much better than the 12.
Laphroaig Quarter Cask. Not quite as good as standard Laphroaig 10-year, in my opinion. But still good. If only I could find some more Laphroaig 10-year in my area...
Last night was a few too many Springbank 10/100s

I just cracked open my last bottle of Talisker 10.
This week I was wowed by a Springbank 12 CS. Unfortunately, my euphoria was quickly dampened by a ZZZZZ-inducing pour of Compass Box Oak Cross. Not much there.
Had a pour of my favorite 30yo 1975 Glenrothes.
I was enjoying the nose so much, my wife asked if I was trying to drink it with my nose. I eventually did give in and start sipping on it, but the nose is simply spectacular as well.
