Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday @Nock ! I’ll have to pour something heavily peated in your honour later. Maybe some Cairdeas Fino Cask.

Happy Birthday @Nock! Not sure how you feel about An Oa, but it’s the only Ardbeg that I have at the moment. I will raise a dram in your honor later today (it’s only 9am right now). Hope you have a great day of dramming!

Today I was thinking of you and nearly sent an email with a pic of the OCTO 10 I’m holding for you on 10/10/2020. I didn’t realize it was your birthday. Interesting indeed the things we have tucked away in our memory, sometimes we need a nudge.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wishing you many more!

@Nock "The Mad Scientists of Batch Variations". One of the more enlightening posters on Connosr. Happy Birthday

@Nock, Today I was thinking of you and nearly sent an email with a pic of the OCTO 10 I’m holding for you on 10/10/2020. I didn’t realize it was your birthday. Interesting indeed the things we have tucked away in our memory, sometimes we need a nudge.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Wishing you many more!

Thank you @Victor for the kind words. I am sorry my birthday brings up memories of your lost car! But, I guess it is all tied together. I appreciate your friendship and look forward to tasting with you again.

Thanks @RianC which batch of Flaming Heart? @Nozinan I hope it was an Octomore! And thank you @NamBeist and birthday wishes!

@OdysseusUnbound I just finally rebottled my Cairdeas Fino Cask after being open a year and a half. I only have 250mL left. I really like it.

@bwmccoy – I have owned exactly one bottle of An Oa . . . and I won’t rebuy. It isn’t bad. After all, it is an Ardbeg! It just isn’t what I am looking for in an Ardbeg. Still, I deeply appreciate the thought.

@paddockjudge yes . . . I am greatly desirous of that bottle. Someday soon my friend.

@fiddich1980 thanks for the very kind words. I have been absent of late. And my obsession with batch variation is slowing to a dull roar.

A dram to all of you fine individuals! Hopefully someday we can all sit around a share a tasting.

Last year I opened a slew of Octomores. This year it was several Port Charlottes.

That MC:01 is certainly a standout. The PC7 and PC8 will likely need some air time before they get good.

@Nock - A fitting line up - I do like me some Port Charlotte! I'm still sitting on a Port Charlotte 10 2nd edition. Maybe I'll open It over Xmas ...

It was the 2018 version of Flaming Heart - I really like the balance between the herbal peat and soft fruitiness with the waxy mouthfeel.

@Nock Sorry I'm so late with this but Happy Birthday!! Everyone knows the best people are born in October!!

@Nock Belated Happy Birthday. I always enjoy your contributions to our discussions here.

Cheers, I’ll toast your health with a dram of my Port Charlotte 10 year old later.

@TracerBullet

Sounds like we will or should have been wishing you a happy birthday some time this month too. Whatever day it is treat yourself kindly. Speak softly and carry a large glencairn.

@Nozinan I'm old enough at this point that I try to forget the birthdays! Mine falls on the 1st and my anniversary on the 10th. My wife has put up with me for 28 years, God bless her!

@TracerBullet - A belated happy birthday to you then!

And happy Anniversary!

A hearty Happy Birthday to @odysseusunbound.

I should probably toast you with one of the bottles that is languishing in my basement, waiting, in vain, to be picked up and taken North.

@OdysseusUnbound happy birthday!

@OdysseusUnbound Happy Birthday!

@OdysseusUnbound - Happy Birthday!

@OdysseusUnbound , happy birthday!

Happy Birthday @OdysseusUnbound

@OdysseusUnbound - Happy Birthday! I'll raise some 80s whisky in your honour later today.

A belated Happy Birthday to @OdysseusUnbound

I already wished @OdysseusUnbound a Happy Birthday, ain't no goddamn way I'm gonna do it again!!

@OdysseusUnbound Happy Birthday. Just do what you do every other day: eat, drink and be merry.

Cheers

@OdysseusUnbound Happy Birthday. お誕生日おめでとうござます.

Well, no suprise I could be the last one to wish you a happy birthday. I am still getting out my Anzac Day cards. ^_^

@paddockjudge Well my birthday was Thursday (Dec 10), but I'm celebrating properly tonight since I don't have to go to work tomorrow.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, folks. It was a quiet one spent with my wife and sons. I couldn't ask for anything better.

@OdysseusUnbound

Well you could have ask for something better, such as a wife and kids holding bottles of very hard to find single malts from your favorite distilleries as they sing "happy birthday to you."

Best wishes on your 51st birthday @markjedi1! May your glass be perpetually full of your favourite 'Toshan!

A Big Happy Birthday to @markjedi1! Hopefully someday you and I will taste some whisky face to face!

@markjedi1 - Happy Birthday! Hope you have a great day and a special dram lined up for the occasion!

Happy birthday @markjedi1 !! I hope you have a great day.
