So, what are you drinking now?

Glendronach 21, very very sherry mmmmmmm. the old standby Bowmore 12 , and Laphroaig 10. Glenlevitt 21 Archive, a nicly rounded repetoir. Merry Christmas to you all from Canada, and the warmest wishes to you all, may the new year find you in good health. Peace...

Christmas Eve dram of Lagavulin 16. Happy Holidays to all.

@teebone673 I don't have any Lagavulin in the cabinet right now, so I guess I'm forced to settle for Uigedail. Damn.

Happy Holidays Everyone! May your holidays be whisk(e)y filled and full of fun and family and most of all safe!

Having a few Abbey Beers at the moment and when I finish I will settle into a couple glasses of Grant's The Family Reserve Blended Scotch. Anyone else a fan of Grant's? I tried it for the first time the other day and I must say...I'm lovin it! A quality budget blended scotch I must say!

@CanadianNinja Definitely a solid blend - quite underrated, in my opinion.

@CanadianNinja, Grant's Family Reserve? Not just good. Great. And perhaps the very best value in all Scotch whisky on the market.

Xmas eve was a tasting flight: Glendronach 15, 18, 19SC Glenfarclas 1997 Family Cask Abunadh batch 39 Kuriazawa 27.

WOW on the Kuriazawa...won by a mile.

Merry Christmas all!

@cpstecroix..."...and to all a good night!"

At a Christmas Eve party had my first taste of Glendronach 15 yr. Revival. Very Yummy not sure what today will bring.

Just wanted to wish everyone in the Connosr family a very Merry Christmas!

@Wodha I'm drinking my Christmas gift from my wife, Shackleton Whisky. Wow this was a very unexpected and wonderful gift. :)

Talisker 57 Degrees North.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan after a nice Xmas supper with some very nice desserts.

@bwmccoy -- Merry Christmas!

Big Peat and it really is a fine Whisky! The version available locally is far and away the best Big Peat we've seen so far - I'm not surprised that the Rev. Jim gave last years' bottling 96 pts. If anything, this years' drop is even better.

This Whisky has everything and all in the right amounts and, of course in the right places in a perfect 'seamless' balance that screams Islay: It has a fantastic mouth-feel that is deliciously malty and caresses the tongue in a velvety embrace that would not be out of place in a Whisky costing three times what Big Peat currently does!

To say that this Whisky is a triumph for Douglas Lang is an under statement, indeed. Enjoy!!

Slante!

Oban 14 yr.

@CanadianNinja Family Reserve is certainly high on my list of blended scotches.

Now that it's quiet at our house, I thought I'd try a bourbon, BuffaloTrace. If anything, I'm finding by looking at my notes, this is quite consistent for me in my tastes. And its growing on me :)

Wiser's Red Letter and Masterson's Straight Rye Whiskey, two of the best Canadian products. Thank you, @paddockjudge for the samples!

Glenmorangie Lasanta and Glenmorangie nectar d`or,not so bad!

Four Roses Small Batch....nice, easy drinking bourbon.

Sitting down with Lagavulin 12. A cask strength beast. My favorite Islay whisky.

@teebone673 Got a silly question to ask ya...Is it me, or do you happen to taste "Trident" gum (the original in the blue/white packaging) in the Talisker 12 yrvbecause I certainly do...

Anywho - it's a good dram nonetheless.

Christmas Eve dram was a glass of Clynelish 1993/2010 Distiller's Edition paired with chocolate covered dates (dark chocolate and mocha).

Kirkland Signature Premium Small Batch Bourbon aged 7 years 103 proof that I picked up at Costco this am. I've been puzzled why many like the higher proof. I've detected more notes in this than other bourbons... hmmm.

Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. Outstanding whisky. I love just about everything Glenmorangie produces.

Old Grand Dad 114 - Hearty, powerful and tasty. This bourbon just might incite me to write a review about it. It's very unique.

@FMichael I assume you mean the Lagavulin 12. I'm not sure if its trident gum, but I definitely get something hot and spicy. If I remember correctly, trident is a hot cinnamon gum so I could see getting that from the 12. Lagavulin 12 kicks you in the teeth and I like that.

Lagavulin 16,a gift from me to me,ohh im really happy,thank you and merry christmas ,that`s absolutely my favorite!!!

Maker's 46 as we await friends coming over for dinner. No doubt my cabinet will take a hit :) .
