What foreign whiskey/whisky are you drinking 2021?

A teaspooned Glenmorangie that I picked up last night.

Deceptive at 40%... lots of nuttiness and fruity notes going on with a side serving of bourbon. This is terrific. If I'd have had this blind I'd have assumed it was a French spirit of some sort.

Neat Writer's Tears Pot Still 80 proof while grilling bison burgers.  Dinner was be those burgers with an Irish whiskey+decaf coffee+Kahlua+vanilla ice cream+cubes (all run through a blender).  I may never get out of this chair again.

Having an early afternoon pour of Signatory Specs pick. This is really good. 

[beasled]

This is a blend of cask strength Laphroaig 10 at 60.1% and standard Laphroaig 10 at 40%. I think its about 40/60 ratio and the % comes out at about 50%.

 

I thought it would be interesting to try and make something a bit more palatable between the two and, well, its pretty damn good actually.

Compass Box Myths & Legends I (Balblair) after another long and difficult day...

 

[Marekv8]

Dalmore King Alexander III in the dark (and hot)... I’m actually quite enjoying this unexpected change of pace— but I do have a penchant for chainsaws and hand- washing dishes.

A (not-so) wee dram of Glenfiddich 14 Bourbon Barrel Reserve to kick off the evening. 
 

I love how this smells mostly of “scotch,” but drinks like ultra-sweet bourbon. It’s not the most complex bottle on the shelf, but it’s a fun ride every time I tip it.

I had a sample of a peated Paul John from the SMWS a few days ago.  Very unique!  Dark, heavy, tarry smoke on the nose with a lot of pepper and exotic spices I can't specifically identify.  Heavy smoke on the palate too, but with a creamy sweetness - like creamer in a really strong mexican coffee.  A funky one.  https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/149393/paul-john-2014-smws-1346  My first Paul John.  Anyone had any others?  thoughts?

Another young malt from another new distillery. Enjoying this one. Cheers!

Ardbeg An Oa before dinner.

[Guss West]

A hot and sticky week passed last night after a hard rain; into a sunny, cool autumn day today.  The cooler air put me in an Islay mood, so I'm starting my weekend with the giftbox Bunna 12 from a few years ago.  Really opened up into a sweet caramel barley candy.  Feels like Ardbeg 10 will be making an appearance later this evening as well.    

 

Going to head over to one of my LLSs this week for a collection of German Octoberfest bottlings for the season (any recommendations?).  Bring on autumn; traditionally my favorite season of the year!!  

 

Prost! 

 

 

[PaulO]

Up for something different too, with rain and cooler temps.  I'm having Loch Lomond.

 

Let's see, German Oktoberfest beer - Spaten, Ayinger, Weihenstephen, about any of the ones from Bavaria.  Check out the beer thread.

[Guss West]

I've made a terrible mistake.  

 

I have a bottle of Nikka FTB about 1/4 empty sitting in the dry bar for the past two years.    When I first bought them, I returned two of them as it was not really to my taste.  What an idiot.  

 

Well.  A little air in the bottle to breathe for a bit along with my own palate maturation; and this dram is stunning.  I'm kicking myself for not buying more of this when it was $60/btl.  Last time I saw it, he wanted $90!  

 

I once called this a tuition whiskey; well, lesson learned.  Ouch.  

[BigRich]

The fall weather kicked off with a bang in Georgia today.  Beautiful weather and a steady breeze that’s perfect for moving cigar smoke!

Opened this fine dram on Monday to celebrate my 40th.

Laphroaig 10 at the SkyClub-- they are moving some booze here (New Orleans) this morning. Haven't seen it like this in years.

It’s a Compass Box night tonight. An aperitif of Orchard House and then after grilled burger I had a few pours of the Peat Monster 10th anniversary.

Killing off a BenRiach 12. Nothing mind blowing but it is a solid Speysider.

Just grabbed my first bottle of their Original 10 and I quite like it. Really tasty for the price.

Not tried the 10, but they are great value over here in the UK!
