So, what are you drinking now?

Just picked up the Glenmorangie Finealta a few hours ago, and I'm really enjoying a dram of it right now...Very impressive whisky!

Glen Grant 22..... feels big, just what I was looking for....

Been a crazy day or two so decided to open my Compass Box Flaming Heart......so much going on in one dram but so balanced at the same time.

Urine-flavored Dalmore 15 that has a finish like the scent of a latrine, along with some nice sea salt carmel overtones. Hey, I spent 90 bucks for the bottle. I'm not gonna waste it!

Sadly, the last of my Laphroaig 18 - which was great to the last drop.

I've been wanting to try Laphroaig 18. In fact, I was thinking of visiting the Highland Stillhouse this week to sample the 18 and one other scotch. Are you a woman, Rie? What do you like most about Laphroaig 18? How does it compare with the 10? Have you ever tried Peat Monster? If so, how does it compare with that?

@RoganFox hey, I really wanna try the compass box , everyone raves about it. Have u tried the ardbeg uigadail ? That nice and peaty with waves of complex flavours. Is that like the compass box??

I've got a Glenlivet 18yr open at the moment, and a decent festival whisky which was bought for me last year. It's called The Hoebeg, and it's a a bottling done for a blues festival (it's even got a picture of BB King on the label). It's a great islay malt which seems to be going a little too quickly!

@rigmorole, the Dalmore 12 is far superior to the 15, give that a try if you haven't already.

@rigmorole - I really need an honest opinion on your take of the Dalmore 15 yr - lol - joking.

@talexander - Glad I didn't spend the $$$, or time on the Dalmore 15; nice to get info here before I go ahead, and make a purchase.

Talisker 18 years old...

@seanfury never had a talisker. Heard they r quite peaty?

@26goingon62 Yes! And smoke! Really love it.

@26goingon62 funny you ask as I had a small nip of Uigeadail after Flaming heart and it really was a complimentary pairing in many ways. Can't go wrong with either of these.

Just purchased the Aberlour 12 Year Non-Chillfiltered. I have not had the standard 12 year so cannot provide a comparison. Regardless, great stuff!

@msudukie I'm drinking the Aberlour 12 Non-Chillfiltered right now it's great, at 48% it will need some water. The best results for me were 2tsp H2O. Enjoy. :)

Laphroaig QC paired with smoked gouda, oven roasted debrecynas, and toasted barley bread.

Old Pulteney 12yr. Awesome whisky for the price. I hope folks continue to overlook this one so the price doesn't jump. :)

@PMessinger I agree 100%, great stuff.

@rigmorole Hey rigmorole, the Laphroaig 18, for me, presents a little more complexity with an elegance, I was surprised to enjoy as much as I did - as I love the industrial toughness of the 10. There's a really charming interplay with the wider profile of flavours, and amongst it all, the smoke and peat are - as a signature, still there. But overall, it's softer, more rounded, and more considered. Have yet to try Peat Monster, so cannot say; but I highly propose you go visit The Highland Stillhouse for a taste of the 18, this weekend.

@PMessinger @msudukie - I had both the A'bunadh (batch 39), and 12 yr Non-Chill filtered side by side, and I must say I prefer the 12 yr Non-Chill over the A'bunadh.

Balmenach 27... I always forget how full bodied yet drinkable this is.... Great pick by Chieftain's

Bunnahabhain 12. Very smooth whisky! Like it a lot!

Tonight it's my Birthday Whisky Woodford Reserve Master's Collection Four Wood. Boy this is a great whisky for a gift. :)

Back to the Balmenach 27 - Chieftain's bottling again....

@PMessinger - Happy Birthday!

Tonight, before dinner, I'm comparing side-by-side Aberlour 16 and Costco's Kirkland Signature 20 year Speyside Sherry Finish from an unknown distillery. Both are very drinkable, good value, everyday drams.

Tonight for my birthday ,one of my friend came at home with some good stuff,so we go downstairs,had a seat in my whiskys place,play some David Gilmour songs,relax and set up some bottles: ARDBEG 10, ARDBEG UIGEADAIL ,MAKERS 46, LAGAVULIN 16, La Favorite(white rhum),UNGAVA(gin) and Redbreast 12,not a bad night,really enjoy this whisky time!

Bushmills 10 years. Lots of fruit in this one...

Dun Bheagan Bunnahabhain Peated 13 years. My favorite whisky!

I had some Booker's small batch last night that has some burn, but with a little water it opens up to be quite enjoyable.
