So, what are you drinking now?

just having a go at my springbank 1997 vintage. its a bit of a big boy but very nice indeed

@Wodha I agree I had the Glenmorangie out for family that are new to whisky, Like you said did not want to scare them off and worked in some JW Green to keep the PC7 for myself. Lol. :)

Just cracked my new Lag 16. Haven't had it for a while as I have been working my way through the 1993 DE. Opened it, poured it, drank it. Didn't even give it time to breathe and it was fantastic. Now I remember what first discovering this icon was like. Desert Island dram? Give me a boatload of this stuff and leave me standed forever.

Drinking a Highland Park 12 yr in the old bottle style , always a favorite for me

@Cardinal - is there much of a difference from the newer bottling?

As of now - I'm enjoying a dram of Springbank 10 yr.

I don't think there is a difference , I just love my HP12 - just happened to be a old bottle style . @FMichael

Glenlevitt 21 archive, very nice !!! with Ballantines 30 very old , and Bunnahabhain 25, waiting in the wings for the holiday season. I'ts nice when people travel and pick up something you cannot get here.

@Cardinal have you ever tried the HP 15 yr?..It's a bit different from the 12 yr, and older sibling 18 yr, but still a nice dram nonetheless.

bookers - excellent batch of this big bruiser.

@FMichael I never had the 15 yr , only the 12 and 18 yr. which i both love .If I see it at a bar I will give a try

Rittenhouse Rye 100 Proof....amazingly spicy, fruity with a sherry influence. Awesome for the price. On my second pour.

I had Great King Street: Artist's Blend, Great King Street: New York, Flaming Heart, and Peat Monster at a tasting tonight. All were delicious.

George T Stagg 2012 with a little water this time around - fantastic!

I'm drinking Balvenie Doublwood while listening to the Jimmy Buffett Christmas CD. Life is good.

Ardbeg ANB. My bottle is almost gone. I'm distraught, depressed, anxious. It was one of the loves of my whisky drinking life. Will Corryvrekan take away the pain? make me forget? Panicsville man.

Enjoying my first drams in nearly three weeks, after a long bout of walking pneumonia. Feels good to be back in the saddle.

Started with a 'farclas 17, now working on a bit of Glenlivet Nadurra. Don't know what's next. I'm not being particular. It all tastes good tonight.

@maltster I went looking for some Booker's today in both of the big chain liquor stores but they were out here in Austin. It was just on the shelf 4 weeks ago. Now I need to search the little independent stores. I should have picked up a bottle with they were in abundance. Wonder what's up? Or are they just being snatched up for Christmas presents.

A generous Thomas H Handy pour. What a beautiful auburn color. Powerful, invigorating...amazing. You know your alive when you drink this rye.

just cracked a 16y/o smws caol ila, "peat-fire toasted marshmallows". so freakin' good!

@Wodha Just finishing off the opened JW Green lable, I saw that you have Woodinville Bourbon in your cabinet, How do you like it??. My stepson lives and works in Seattle so when I'm out he brings some back to Michigan for us. We both my wife & I really like their products. :)

just purchased, and drinking, Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2012. Fresh! Like, I want to smack this bold glass up in my face! OK, OK...He's OK. Cough dude! You've got to cough! $45.00? I know! What a bargain. This is a nice cheap premium bourbon! I would say, buy it with a quickness.

After decorating the tree, sitting in the glow of the Christmas lights, listening to some mellow jazz Christmas music, drinking 40 year Longmorn (SMWS 7.55 - "Liquid Heaven" - distilled December 1968 - first fill Sherry cask). Astonishing whisky.

At Mary Anne's party last night, six people had their first sips of The Laddie Ten,...six people were instant The Laddie Ten fans. The Baillie Nicol Jarvie was well received among Americans who have never ever seen it sold here. And Talisker 57 Degrees North? Sigh..., the bottle is emptying quickly, and I don't know when I can replace it! Sooooo Goood...It is (a) TALISKER FULL THROTTLE! None of that pussyfooting under 50% ABV.

I'm spending this lazy Sunday afternoon with a couple of Canadian whiskies after reading Davin's great book Canadian Whisky.

@markjedi1 - I picked up Davin's book on Friday afternoon and happened to run into him at the book store as I was buying it, so he signed it for me.

Spent Friday evening with some friends and my Classic Malts Talisker Collection (10yr, Distiller's Edition, 57' North) celebrating my birthday. The consensus was that the 57' was the best of the three (with the exception of a minority, one of whom preferred the 10 and the other the DE). It is too bad the 57' North isn't available in Ontario except as part of the Talisker Collection...

Picked up a 12y/o Caol Ila to celebrate what should be two bottles of Laphroaig15 within two weeks!

@markjedi1 - I agree, it is a great book. What did you pour? I'm having CR Reserve soon to be followed by CR Ltd Ed 1974

Finally cracked open my William L Weller 2011. I'd had it before, but that bottle had oxidized a wee bit. A top notch dram!

Just purchased, and just opened, a bottle of Glenmorangie Signet. This is well above my usual price point; however, I am allowing myself to treat myself a little better after having lost my partner of the past 11 years to lung cancer. Might as well dampen (with this you don't drown) my sorrows in something really nice...

@misslauren Lauren, I am so sorry for your loss - I don't know what to say - on behalf of everyone on here who knows you personally, we are terribly sorry. If there is anything we can do for you, please let us know. And enjoy that Signet, you more than deserve it.
