Whisky

[Slippery kaboosh]

Tonight I'm drinking ardbeg bizzarbq .. the smell is lovely and is a really nice whiskey with a long finish.i actually bought another bottle just to keep before it sells out as I missed out on the eureka. I just love smoky whiskeys. And i also have the ardbeg 10 cask strength... bloody strong but damn it's good.

 

[blue toon hibby]

Tesco purchase yesterday, never tried it before. Smokier than I would normally go for but very pleasant nonetheless. Think it was £23 with the cub card. Needed a cheaper one as I’m trying to make the Glenfarclas 105 last.

Amazon "Spring Deals" looking good, Picked a Talisker Skye for £26. Loads more offers.

Looks fabby. Do tell more on taste etc

Looking at a 58% cask strength at moment will report later after dilution

This was that, still is:

And the whisky is




It really is gorgeous and that includes the ~25% water I add. Added bonus to soften price.

This evening’s post-prandial dram is Tomatin Double Cask. £37.75 for £25 with the Tesco Alkie Card. Most palatable but, surprisingly, packs a punch I wasn’t expecting given its Bourbon and Sherry cask history.

Extra point for the expression “post prandial”.
Not often used on the Bounce, but often misused I’d surmise.

Mine is a Singleton 12 yr old £25 from Tesco with discount card
Decent wee half

The missus was away on a hen do and brought me this back from the duty free.

I've enjoyed a couple of Japanese whisky's before but never tried their attempts at a peaty one. Will report back after I try a couple this evening.

You ever tried Indian whisky? I've had a couple and they were both excellent.

Had this in 2022. Has gone up in price quite a bit but I would probably still buy it.

Got this for a friend and he gave me a sample. Very nice indeed.

Both non chill filtered and natural colouring as far as I can tell.

Got round to supping the peated Yamazakura tonight.

Very decent for a blend. Not sure if I'd be shelling out the £50+ it seems to be going for most places mind you, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

That’s making my mouth water - a wee Dalwhinnie might help.
