What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

[ggilbertva]

Love the a'bunadh. Have you tried the Macallan cask strength?

Fun to try as side by side.

I have not but plan on getting that and a couple others in the near future. Thanks.

Enjoying my first taste of Ardmore Traditional Cask (Quarter Cask). Spicy, bourbon-like and some very nice peat and smoke. While I prefer the Laphroaig Quarter Cask, this is really nice indeed.

Ardmore is easy to get in my neck of the woods, so I always have a bottle or two. I really enjoy it.

@AVB: I sure can.

Once I've had over 3 glasses of bourbon, I start posting to the wrong pages. At the time, I truly did believe I was posting to the right place. And I truly did believe that I had rock hard chisled abs and was invisible too.

Besides all the beer and bourbon we did yesterday, Tony and I had some Cragganmore from The Un-Chillfiltered Collection, 16yo, 92prf.

Had a few pours of Sheep Dip last night. Not overly complex but very tasty just the same.

Invergordon Single Cask Grain Whisky, 36 yo, 89 proof.

Surprisingly good.

Invergordon Single Cask Grain Whisky, 36 yo, 89 proof.

Surprisingly good.

I would expect that it would be tasty since the 43 YO Invergordon is the main component of Compass Box Hedonism Maximus.

36 yo? Wow, must be, well developed.

I just finished off my bottle of 13yo Rosebank from Gordon & MacPhail. I'll miss it...

This afternoon, while cooking dinner for my family, I had a glass of The Balvenie 15-year old single barrel on the rocks. It was wonderful, as always.

I've just got a little bit left of a Cadenhead's 12 yo Rosebank (115 proof!). One of the best malts to have with a cigar I've ever found.

I've always wanted to have a sip of Rosebank...

In the meantime, I'm thoroughly-enjoying my Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX (Pedro-Ximenez)-- it's like the La Santa, taken a step further. Think pecans and raisins in a dark chocolate bread pudding and you just might scratch the surface of what it's about.

Tried Highland Park 12yr for the first time. Very nice and smooth, but still interesting.

I've got a small sample of Rosebank 13 year that I had last night. After that, a Paddy's Irish.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first few pours of Ardmore Traditional Cask. I noticed a significant price drop (from $40 to $30!) at my local liquor store and finally pulled the trigger. What a delightful surprise! The peat is heftier than I expected and everything is quite well-balanced. Next to Yamazaki 12, this could become my favorite "budget" single malt if the price remains as low as I found it.

I was at Julio's on Monday night for the first time. We tried Lochside (super), Imperial Port Wood (too sweet) and Ben Nevis 12yr NC2 (wierd nose, like tequila).

Then last night I had some Dalmore Cigar Malt at the Westin in Providence, RI. You could taste some really good structured malt, but it was buried in a lot of sweetness from the sherry.

Tonight it was Talisker 10 yr, Black Bottle 10 yr (I liked this very much), and Ardmore Traditional cask.

That is a very nice price indeed. I like the Ardmore, it has a lot of bourbon notes and is very well priced. I pay a little over $40 though...

Redbreast 12 on the rocks with a wee splash of water.

Ardbeg Uigeadail. I love this stuff. :grin:

[birdman1099]

Hardy Cask, eh? You been hoarding that or something? Or did they make more of it in recently? I had a bottle a few years back (single cask version). Interesting stuff. Very closed until you add some water and then BOOM, fruit and spice exploding everywhere.

Hoarding... nope.... but I did find a place locally that has a few. so I don't know if it is an older bottling or a newer release.

And you nailed it !!!! Very closed ay first.... I didn't add any water, but I did let it sit for about 20 minutes and it was fantastic. I may go back and get another.

*EDIT* I just saw that it was bottled on 9-20-06....

Bladnoch 16 is the dram of the evening. An old Sheep label one at that.

Enjoyed a nice dram of Bowmore Dusk while watching the PGA Championship this afternoon. Finished in Bordueaux wine casks, the characteristic Bowmore smokiness combines nicely with the wine flavors. Wish I had another bottle. I picked this one up last year at Binny's during there Scotch clearance sale for only $30..what a deal that was!
