What is the next bottle you purchase or open?

@Timp, after 50 miles with full packs you are entitled to drink, buy, or compliment any whisky you so choose. Admiration and respect for you and your choices. Let me know if that Pomona cask influence has the same appeal on an idle day.

Cheers

@paddockjudge Cheers for that and I will let you know.

Opening a 2020 Kavalan Solist Oloroso Sherry Cask 58.6% abv., Non Chill-Filtered, No colour added.

Utilizing the rich sherried character of this flavourful single malt in some creative blends.

1997 G&M Caol Ila 23 YO 59.9% abv.

Sherry forward, sweet, well rounded, ashy, and absolutely delicious.

I’m not usually the first in line to acquire an Islay release, but this one ticks all the boxes for me. I bought a back-up.

SHERRY BOMB!

Abraham Bowman 10 yo Rye 69.4% ABV, private barrel for The Party Source, distilled 3-14-2001, bottled 5-13-2011.

This is my favourite whiski of which I have ever owned a bottle. I rate it at 98/100 points, as does @Nock, with whom I just opened my third bottle of four which I purchased in 2011. This is the first bottle of this I have opened since 2014. .

I would have opened this with @bwmcocoy also present a day prior, but there was no way we could get it in that night after 20+ malt whiskies.

@paddockjudge nice bottle. Lovely,..

Well it’s that time again at Sagamore Spirit Distillery; Penny’s Proof. So I spent a good portion of this morning in line. But I did get my 3-pack (pictured here) and I got the new BiB offering. This is all Maryland. The rye and the wood used to make the casks and of course distilled in Maryland.

Glad I picked this up but it is very young. Looking forward to what another year will do.

1997 G&M Caol Ila 23 YO 59.9% abv. Test driving this newly opened second bottle before the session next week with the brothers.

I’ve been looking for an Ardbeg Hypernova (no luck yet). Ran across this and my wife picked it up for me.

Getting ready to sit out the winter storm that's hitting us. Will probably open the GoT Song of Ice and make a Storm King cocktail...

Opened this little gem on Christmas Eve, a gift from my lovely bride, and just in time to replace the depleted bottle.The new-to-my-cabinet glassware was a stocking stuffer from our kids as was the book.

LCBO prices are through the roof so, time to dip into the cellar for some back to basics #whiski.

The complete opposite to the type of whiski porn you're likely to see in blogs / vlogs / reviews / instagram / connosr!

@65glenfarclas there are few things better than pairing a good dram with a good price!

@65glenfarclas All good daily drinkers. Now Im going to have to have a look through the cabinets and see what I have been neglecting.

@BlueNote Of the 5 bottles, the Auchentoshan is the weakest. When I started "sipping" whiski about 12 years ago, the 'toshan was a good dram. Going back to it now, I'm shocked how basic it is, and is taking a back seat to JW Black sherry finish I have open next to it. Definitely NOT a "daily drinker", it will be relegated to the hot toddy slot in the cabinet.

It's Saint David's Day, so I'll be opening this tonight... Cymru am byth!

Opened this last night. Really enjoyed the neck pour. 100% bourbon cask matured Hazelburn. I usually like my Springbanks to be a mixture of Sherry and Bournon cask. But with this being 100% bourbon there's a dry oakiness that would perhaps get rounded off a bit by adding some Sherry cask to the vatting.

It will probably change loads by the time I get to the end of the bottle being a Springbank.
