Delicious.  Tastes like I'm drinking whisky and smoking a cigar at the same time. :cool:

I've had that. Odd feeling, like you're drinking smoke.

Princesca brought home a bottle of Laphroaig 10-year she got for free at work.  I'll be cracking this bad boy open later.

Oh, and I now own land in Scotland as well. :bowler:

Irish Connemara does the same. Very peaty.

My favorite smoky whisky is Ardbeg.

Laphroaig rules. Try the Quarter Cask.

Anecdote: a couple of months ago I asked my guests if they wanted some whisky. They all did. So I gave them Laphroaig Quarter Cask. One of the guests tasted it and decided he didn't really like it. So he took some Coke and poured it into his whisky glass. It took me a few seconds to get over the shock of witnessing this. Then he happily sipped away at his sacrilegious concoction. But he did the right thing in a way, you should drink what you enjoy not what others enjoy. It was just so weird to see.

Finished a bottle of Clontarf last night. I think I'll replace it. Nice to see more stuff from Ireland in the stores now besides Jameson and Bushmill's.

I just bought my mother some of that.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Beer all night, then when it was time for the group shot I asked for the girliest Kamikaze the bartender could make.

I had Pusser's Navy Rum last night for the first time in years.  Still fantastic.  But now much more expensive.  Sigh.

Had a couple of G&Ts when I popped in to visit a friend, whilst out on a bike ride.

Weirdly turns out this is the first alcoholic drink I've had this holiday season.   :huh:
