What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

[Gillman]

It's one of the best whiskeys I've had in a long time, just great balance and a true whiskey taste - i.e., one that is not overwhelmed by wood but still is tasty with full distillery character.

Longrow 10 to kick off the evening

I was just drinking some Springbank and I burped and I was like, Mmmmmmm...

Ardbeg Galileo. It's "interesting" - but y'all were right... It starts "ok" but ends up driving off the cliff with Toonces at the wheel.

Thx to @LB for the sample!

I have to agree with you here,and what is up with the odd olive note you get with this one,not Ardbeg at it's finest indeed.

So it ends hilariously with me on the floor laughing? (Runs out to buy)

LOL! But unfortunately not as funny - this expression just fails to sustain the Ardbeg "Ooomph" and dies pitifully in a crash down the mountain :-)

Pushed past the bourbon and rye for the first time in a long time this afternoon, digging out the Laphroaig 10 yr Cask Strength. Hmmm . . . peaty goodness, how I've missed thee :grin:

DeLord 25yr Armagnac - this bottle is really coming on strong!

Bought one of these a few weeks back for a nice price. I've sampled about 100 ml and will bring it to Bardstown for others to try. Very tasty and complex with some tropical fruit (mango-papaya) as a bonus to other spices, nuts and chocolate flavors. Great change of pace but...I still favor a spirit made from at least 51% corn and put in new charred oak :grin: .

[WAINWRIGHT]

I have to agree with you Thad,I managed to pick up a few on clearance and the DeLord 25yr is a pretty enjoyable pour with tons of chocolate notes and burnished cinnamon,quite complex.I find this to be a fun and enjoyable pour and one that I have everyone try that visits my house as a digestif,haven't had any complaints yet.

[ChainWhip]

Change of pace is a good way to put it. I do enjoy the similarities & differences between the spirit genres - it's been (and continues) to be fun tasting my way around the world.

I was in the mood for something other than Isla, so I'm having a wee dram (ok... maybe not so wee) of Aberlour 12.:grin:

Followed up with a Bunnahabhain 1990/2012 Archives release. Sherry cask, 52.3%. This is delicious. The finish is the best warm raisin pastry you've ever had and it stays around.

I was really all over the place today. Went to my friend's LS this afternoon, and had Knappogue Castle 14, Powers John's Lane 12, and MacPhail's Highland Park 8 yr. When I got home, I had a couple fingers of OGD BIB before dinner, an ODell 90 Shilling Ale with dinner, and Caol Ila 12 and Kelt Tour du Monde Cognac after dinner. As I sip the last of the Kelt while typing this, I'm contemplating a dram of Van Winkle's Rye for my nightcap. A very good day!
