What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

Last evening I enjoyed a Balvenie Carribean Cask 14YO and a Red Breast CS... a nice switch up from bourbon...

I was craving Irish so I picked up a bottle of Powers 12 year old and had a couple of pours. Very tasty. The 12 years doesn't really tame the pot still spice but it rounds out the edges. The sherry influence stays in the background, which I prefer, so this one isn't nearly as overtly fruity as some of its competitors.

Powers 12 is always on hand in my house and a great budget whiskey. I would like to know though why Paddy's appeared here in the US and has now disappeared just as quickly. Anybody?

The Powers John's Lane is ridiculous if you can get your hands on any. I'd give it a slight nod over the Redbreast 12yr CS. Splitting hairs, but I think PJL wins.

Oily and fat it has a very creamy mouthfeel. Loads of ripe fruit that just coats the mouth. A pleasant, easy finish. Tasty aftertaste that just lingers. Such a satisfying dram.

The best Irish Whiskey I have had in recent memory.

Bought the suit I'm going to wear for my wedding next month. Then I needed something to calm the shakes I got from spending so much money at one time. Went with a Laddie 10 because I'm feeling sophisticated right now.

Found out today that I'm already over 100% on my quarterly number so I'm celebrating with a couple nice pours of Redbreast 12. The good news is that I'm expecting to close my largest deal of the quarter tomorrow, so that should help me buy a few more bottles in the near future!

I'm having a little bit of Jameson Signature Reserve tonight.

Hit some Froaig 18 last night to celebrate Lebron getting his ring.

Such an exquisite pour.

Hear hear! Geaux Sonics!

Love the Froaig 18!

Dipping into the Jameson 12 Distillery Reserve tonight.

There is exactly one, and only one, advantage to buying liquor in PA, and it is Laphroaig 18. Apparently, the state was asking Beam Global to submit new paperwork when Laphroaig discontinued their 15-year and began their 18-year. Rather than going through with that hassle, Beam decided to sell Laphroaig 18 to PA for the price that Laphroaig 15 went for.

I was cheering on OKC. A city that can have something as mind-blowingly-awesome as Cattlemen's Steakhouse deserves a Championship. Regardless, I respect your choice of whisky.

Now, if only OKC can get an NFL football team...

First pour of a Cragganmore 12 tonight - a very generous one at that, thanks to a friendly bartender. A nice creamy/honey and malty dram, gently smokey, medium body and a dry finish. Very easy to drink.

[unclebunk]

Finished off a bottle of Sheep Dip last night with a few friends from out of town. Not bad at all and certainly better than I expected it to be.

Started the weekend off with a trip to the dark side - Springbank 10.

One of my favorites, though my last bottle was a tad underwhelming. How was yours?

[BigRich]

I was having a little Sea Wynde rum while cooking dinner and then switch over the Jameson Black Barrel afterwards.

[sutton]

Glenlivet 12 - too hot for much else. Citrus, fruity, a little green apple.

[Max Power]

I had Glenkinchie 12 the other night. It was delicious. A little more kick than Auchentoshan, but nice a fruity & spicy.

[Lost Pollito]

I had some wonderful 29 year old Cragganmore last night. Cask strength frum Duncan Taylor. An absolute treat. Great balance of sherry along with all those wonderful fruity elements I get in Cragganmore. Spice and wood. I need more.

Courtesy my friend G. Hodder, some wunderlicious Macallan that issues from a NDM, thus very rare. It is called Battlehill Macallan 16 years old. It omits the definite article "The" as do the few merchant bottlings you see of this storied brand. (Hart is another that has occasionally issued a Macallan). It is soft, elegant, distillery-tasting yet with the grace that long aging can impart. You can connect it to the The Macallan yet it is somewhat different, perhaps the sherry cask it was aged in differs from what The Macallan uses, or maybe no sherry was used at all. Whatever explains it, it is a par excellence example of the greatness of Scotch whisky distillation and aging expertise.

Last night was a Springbank from 1978. NAS from DT at 46%. Loads of vegetables and fruit. Kinda changed slowly from fruit into the stronger vegetal notes as time went by. Quite a nice treat.

[compliance]

In honor of Macallan 12 going NAS I am killing my bottle and never shall it return

The Glenlivet Nadurra 16yr. Obviously, I greatly prefer the Islay's. But this Glenlivet is lightyears beyond the standard 12yr, IMHO. Not Laphroaig but still good stuff.

ON EDIT: This Nadurra is 54.2% ABV, bottled 06/11 and is batch no.0611N.
