Glenmorangie 18 is open. Admittedly, I'm a big fan of that place, but this stuff is blowing me away. I wish I'd bought a second bottle during that single malt sale. $68+tax is like stealing for this stuff.

After this, I'm moving on to a holiday bottle of Brunello that never got opened with Mrs. Power on Christmas day. If you're not a wine drinker...that's too bad...or not really because bourbon and scotch are pretty awesome. If you are a wine drinker, you either do or should know how awesome Brunellos are.

Cheers!

Enjoying a little Glenfiddich 12. For some reason, even such a simple dram seems so much cooler out of my new decanter :)

Closing out Christmas night with the in-laws with a small pour of Balvenie 15 SB. I could drink this every day and not get tired of it.

Crossed over to the dark side tonight. Opened Lagavulin 16 and Ardbeg Uigeadail. First ever sips into single malt. I was slightly apprehensive that either would be too much to start with, but I took to the smoke and peat like a duck to water. After a glass of each I can tell this is going to become an expensive broadening of my drinking hobby. Merry Christmas y'all.

Did a small tasting tonight with a few folks. Started with Berrys 17 year Caperdonich, then JW Green label, Lag 16, and finished with Talisker 25. It was a very fun tasting!

I must've misplaced that invite...

;)

Really though, nice tasting selection!

It was a spur of the moment thing, otherwise you would have been invited :D

And thanks! I thought the choices and order worked out rather well.

I had some friends in last night and we did an impromptu tasting at my place. One of them brought a Tun 1401 batch 9 to the party, so I couldn't resist the urge to open a batch 3 and go vertical with my open batch 6.

Also broke out Glenfarclas 1974, Arran 14 K&L, Ardbeg Uig/Corry/Day, Lagavulin 12 CS, Octomore 2.2, and a PVW 15/20 comparison to HHSS (to blow my friend's mind who is a Pappy cultist).

On this cold, rainy day, having a wee dram of my newly opened bottle of Tullamore Dew Phoenix while watching my dismal Giants play the Redskins.

The Phoenix is very nice. It will ably fill the third spot of my PJL, RB Cask Strength, TD Phoenix trifecta. Pretty complex nose and taste--I get some sherry, some fruit and oak, the pot-still character, vanilla, etc.

These bigger, bolder Irish whiskeys are making it harder for me to go back to the typical Irish 80 proofers.

On a cold, rainy & dismal night last...a pair of 10s by the warm hearth: Laddie & Tobermoroy to warm the soul.

I totally agree. I'm only missing the PJL piece of the splendid puzzle.

One of these things is not like the others...

11639333345_ffab95c374_z.jpg

- Silver Seal Glendronach 22

- OB Brora 35 / 2013

- OB Mortlach F&F 16

- OB Mannochmore 18

- Clyenelish 14

- OB Brora 30 / 2010

- Rathskeller Rye

You're right, Clynelish is such an off-the-shelf pour.

Wait...

Clever Josh... ;)

Glenlivet Nadurra, on a giant cube. Truly a delicious "bourbon guy" entry to scotch. Thanks to Josh (Yeti) and others for the recommendation.

For some reason, I've never taken the plunge on Nadurra. I know that I will some day. Happy New Year and Enjoy!
