What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

It's ridiculously great. One of the best standard Islay expressions available. I can't keep a bottle open for more than a few weeks, max.

Agreed. It's great whisky. If I crack it open, it usully doesn't last more than a week.

Bought and opened a Glen Garioch 12 yesterday. Not bad - a bit of the Johnnie Walker Green profile with heather notes, which I like, and a lof of vanilla, which I like a bit less. I would say it goes like this: heather and honeysuckle with a strong vanilla backbone, mixed with liquified creamy marzipan. Sweet, sweet, sweet! It finishes with a pleasing bit of sherry wood, which shuts the door on all that sweetness.

I thought this was a strange whisky. I got weird notes of raisins and green olives in addition to the floral notes. Wasn't sure what to make of it.

All of ths talk, plus a little more in chat, led me to pour Lag 16 last night.

Sounded good so Islay it is ,Laphroaig QC and a Lagavulin 16 to cap the night.

A real treat thanks to Hans and Doug Dog.

Loads and loads of iodine with an elegant, sweet finish. The smoke was completely gone! Fully replaced by the sherry.....and it was REALLY good! I want more.....

Paddy Irish. Now available in PA, albeit only in 1L bottles (though that happens to be the size I prefer, anyway). Good stuff, though I can't really tell it apart from Powers Gold Label-- I mean that both as a criticism and a compliment, as I believe Powers to be the best "basic" blend in the P-R/IDG portfolio.

Wait a second... what is that!?! Is that just the old Laphroaig label or something?

And what were you doing drinking it on the pot? ;-)

Nope. That's an independent bottler from Switzerland's label.

LOL, Doug Dog had it in his closet (poor lighting), so I walked into the bathroom to take a quick photo.

Man....you guys don't miss anything!
