What Wee Dram Are You Enjoying Now - Fall 2013/Winter 2014

[ChainWhip]

I'm glad I could inspire! I also will be having some JW green while relaxing in a bath after running the tough mudder today. A scotch sounds like the perfect tool to unwind before sleeping for a week.

Good job finishing the Mudder! I'm facing bunker indecision at the moment...

Oh what the heck - more JW Green

Nice! I really like that stuff and am very bummed they discontinued it. I have the liter bottle I'm working on now and two more in the bunker but after that...

[MtnDew]

Doesn't appear to be any rush at the moment. I have 2 bottles but I still see a good bit of it sitting on shelves.

Of course these things have a way of suddenly disappearing overnight.

Lil Lagavulin 16 on this most fallish of nights!

Try some blue cheese with that Lag 16. Great combo.

Raw Kumomoto oysters are great too :-)

Will have to try that but preferable somewhere closer to the ocean. The Hoosier state isn't known for its fresh seafood ;-)

Dipping my toes in the Dark Side pool

[Yeti]

That's a great way to get a feel for the waters. Three nice drams there.

Finished w RBCS v PJL. Powers takes it all the way around. Really tremendous stuff.

A friend of mine pulled a sample of Bruichladdich 40 for me, so I figured it would probably be good form to at least have some basis of comparison...I have 5 single malts here and have to go through all of them a few times before I even touch that sample...

Likely to get a wee taste of the new NAS Talisker Storm this week. Hard to pay top dollar for NAS whisky but I do rather like Talisker and with the price of all of it creeping up I figure I should at least give it a shot.

First peated dram of the season is a Lagavulin 12 year 2012. Delicious, and the perfect time of year for it.

[MtnDew]

I had some Balvenie doublewood 12 last night... man I enjoy that whisky! I know a lot think it's overpriced for a 12 year, and often I have to agree, but when I can find it for $40-50 I have to get a bottle since it's just so tasty. I still prefer the 15 year but that runs above $100 in some places!

Springbank 16 CS Amontillado finish and Longrow 14 CS Madeira finish. Satisfying, deep, funky warmth still lingering an hour later. Not a drop of water needed.

Opened up a new bottle of Green Label.

Pouring samples always affords me a chance to sip "Dim Sum" style... getting my Balvenie TUN 1401 3-6-9 on!

Big thx to the generous SB peeps for making this possible.

Nice line-up (and well composed photo). Looking forward to the comparison.

[MtnDew]

Still getting over a head cold / cough but couldn't wait to try these side-by-side... In the small bit that I had, the 9 seemed the least sweet/fruity (slight bitterness even) on the palate & had the most heat.

The 3 is the wonderful strawberry jam in a glass I remembered and the 6 was in the middle (this bottle is really coming into its own with me).

9 was just opened so it may round out a little in a few weeks - looking forward to revisiting these when I recover.

I am beyond jealous... I may just cry now.

Want friends over to help with the tasting notes :grin:
