What Wee Dram are you enjoying now?

Glenmorangie Original. This is the first scotch that I actually enjoy!

I like this scotch as well and I like a bunch of them. It's very easy to get caught up in trying all the benchmarks. A man needs a good, readily available daily pour. This one fits the bill.

Cragganmore 12, followed by Talisker 10.

Back on it.

I had some quarter cask today as well Oscar. We also tasted the new Cairdeas bottling, a 30 year Cairdeas bottling, and the standard 10 . All quite nice and enjoyable. Nice to note that the cask is a quarter size of a sherry butt, not quarter to bourbon. :grin:

A couple of drams today. Douglas Laing Benriach 18 yo and a Springbank 10

Reaching for some Ardmore Traditional Cask. I've always enjoyed it and lately I find myself choosing this one more often than not.

Whesskey..somewhat peated whisky from Brennerei Höhler in Hessen, Germany. If you like young grappa like whiskies this might be for you, but I won't really recommend this. Stills do matter

Oh dear lord I am screwed! I just tried Ardbeg Uigeadeil for the first time tonight and am blown away; it was absolutely phenomenal! I have never nosed anything that reminded me of smoky pork fat, in a good way, and I loved it.

^^^ another Islay fan has joined the ranks. :grin:

Dammit, Christian! I love Lag 16, but Ardbeg 10 fell flat on it's keister with me. But, with your endorsement, I'm now forced to pick up one of these Uigeideils. Now, how much is this thing going to cost me?

Regular Jameson to which I added a touch of Green Spot to boost the pure pot still. Silky and minty. As good I feel as Powers, but different taste. I think if I had to nominate a no. 1 whiskey of the world, it could be either Powers or Elijah Craig 18 years old.

Ardmore Traditional Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky. 46% ABV, NAS. $44.00 in our market. From what I've read online, it's a mingling of 6-13 year old Ardmores which are further aged in a quarter-cask. Once again, I find myself drawn to an artful mingling such as this which gets great balance and mouthfeel. It's almost Islay-like, without being an Islay. Jackson always liked Ardmore but until recently it's not been widely available as a single. Most of it goes into the Teacher's (blended) Scotch brand. I like good values in Scotch, it's easy to spend lots of money for something whose essential quality is rarity. Some of the lesser values tend to taste immature but not this one, it's perfectly put together. A Beam Global brand and I hand it to them for the stylishness and value of this product.

Last night I did a vertical tasting of the Highland Park 1994 TR, the old HP 16 Yr TR, and HP 18.

Ha Ha Ha.... That is my second favorite Islay..... Nice...... Make sure you stock up on them as they are no longer made.....

Joe, if you can find one, the price should be 70- 90.... I have noticed there is a very large range of pricing for this one...

I apologize if I have made a mistake.... it appears that maybe it is still made. Sorry to feed a frenzy. If anyone has any "good" info on the status of the Uigeadial, please chime in.

[TomH]

I don't know if this is "good" info or not, but Ugi is still shown as a regular product on the Ardbeg site.......since I went to the trouble to look it up I decided to pour a BIG pour of it tonight.

I'm enjoying a large pour of Auchentoshan Triple Wood.

Bowmore Dusk, the Bordeaux finish gives it a really nice fruit character, very enjoyable whiskey for sure.

Cracked open a bottle of Macallan Cask Strenghth. This scotch is a deep brown with a noticeable ruby glow. At 58.6 ABV, it has a nice grip on the taste buds. In fact , I thought my buds were going to abandon ship when I first poured the Macallan on top of them. It could just be me, but I would give this pour the mouth grenade label. If you like the regular Macallan 12 yo, you will love this one. It has the same nose and taste with the addition of 21 inch biceps and a grip like a pit bull. The sherry and nutty oak palate is balanced with a sweet malty background.

[unclebunk]

Opened a bottle of Aberlour 10 last night and enjoyed a few pours with a neighbor on my deck. Great stuff!

[rocky480]

Nothing too exciting or exotic last night, but the standard Glenmorangie 10YO accompanied a late night cigar.
