A new, sober, thread about single malt scotch whisky thread.

He isnt a big fan of the peaty stuff. I think that's why he gave it to me. But still, it's a scotch that you keep on hand for special occasions.
I on the other hand LOVE the peaty stuff.

(The Laphroaig has a hang-tag as well, I just hadn't put it out yet when I took that).

Just got back from ye olde booze store. Laphroaig first, since I like stuff that tastes like it just came out of a fire. Than the Balvenie, mmmm peated cask.


Now ordering this, no care about taste just that Shackleton is the man. Ordering one for Pops for fathers day as well since he is a big fan of Shackleton as well (what man isn't I ask you?):

i officially switched to beer for the summer as of Memorial Day ... as a primary drink.

but i am now having a whiskey/coke ... and none of the RC crew to bullshit with.

 

[neal]

yeh summers here are definitely way too hot for the warming effects of room-temperature scotch, GO BEER!

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

jesus scotch! Go Tully!

 

[KILL TULLY]

Haha, I know if I have one more glass of the Laphroaig I will end up drinking too much of it and having to resupply too soon.

I have some Rye behind me that I use for Sazeracs though, mayhaps I'll just have a few fingers of that instead.

I've been drinking tons of Whistle-Pig while out and about (especially in Sazeracs) recently and never bothered to look at the label:

When it comes to booze, I'm strictly whiskey and gin. Every other liquor can SUCK IT.

lemon infused spyritus ... fucking deadly summer drink

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

oh wow

This cracking peated cask Balvenie was released in 2010. It was aged traditionally to begin with, before a finish in casks that previously held peated whisky. The result is well balanced and not overpowering. A success!

Stocking up before I re-deploy:

About to take a bath in that Lagavulin, haha. Also pretty excited about making a Sazerac with that Redemption.
