I bought a bottle of that Balvenie Portwood 21 for a friend's wedding. I love the Balvenie, the best I've tried was some 17 year variety (I think the Madeira but I'm not sure). That is definitely my favoUrite distillery, whenever I make the O face for scotch, it is usually because of Balvenie.

I have a bottle of Oban Distiller's Edition heading my way. I finished the rest of my scotch this week, so I'll be out until that arrives. I'm still on the fence about how much I liked the Lagavulin 16. It is clearly an amazing scotch, I'm just not sure how much I truly enjoyed it. I'll probably buy another bottle just to confirm.

I rescinded back to full blown alcoholic over this past week, that was fun but I think it's time to take it easy once again. A dram or two now and then instead of a few per night. Oops!

The only Balvenie that I absolutely loved so far has been the Rum Cask version. Shit was very unique and delicious.

Jealous as shit

Sipping on Booker's bourbon. Love this shit.

Bookers is good. Incredibly smooth for 127 proof. But I tend to prefer my bourbons between 80 - 95.

Oban Distiller's Edition

I just posted.

To say.

I love this.

 

[Krilons Resa]

^ need to try that one and Lagavulin's Distiller's Edition. I own and LOVE the Talisker Distiller's Edition.

Currently sipping on Talisker 18yr aka God's Nectar.

I'm a teacher, dude. How the fuck do you think I get through so many terrible essays?

I'm an RN. I have to drink to make it through the week

I only buy two bottles of whisky per year, that doesn't add up to much $$$ annually. Probably only spend $25 a month on beer on average. The only time I go to bars is to play a show, which (usually) means one beer or less. I consider my consumption a steady, even flow these days. Not too much, never too little, probably should be less, but I'm a musician who works with musicians, so sobriety is not an option. 10 years ago I used to spend $75 on beer every Friday and then probably another $75 at the bar that weekend. No wonder I was nearly 50 pounds fatter than I am today!

 

[dorian gray]

I'm kinda disappointed to hear this.
Increase consumption now please

 

[NAD]

Well, you are a medical professional, so I find this advice refreshing, and I shall follow it, post haste!

 

[dorian gray]

These look pretty neat. I'll taste them in a little while and find out.

Dorian, you the man.

How long does it take you to kill one of them big boy bottles?

 

[dorian gray]

Thanks, Necro!

@rms: when I do get around to buying some stuff, it takes me about a week to kill off a 750 ml bottle
Sometimes 2 if I'm really busy working or some other crap

 

[Krilons Resa]

a week?!

 

[dorian gray]

Is that a long time?
