Thought that I would start this off for the new year. Good to see what people's favorite or current libation is. Tonight, The Balvenie Portwood 21...

I'm feeling better today,  Not as dark, tense, and angry as I have been the past several days. Today was better. Chores around the house, building a new humidor, repaired a door frame, and just being

Tonight I'm drinking Ballantine's 17yo blend, awarded Scotch Whisky of the year 2013 by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible. Not sure it quite lives up to that billing, but it is delicious; mellow, complex and great value

Try the Ballantines 30 it used to be my favourite when I was about 19....brings back fond memories.

We used to drink it and Chivas Regal Royal Salute mixed with Classic dry lemonade and ice...by the case

It was the pinnacle of young of Bogun sophistication! (and I drove a mint VG Valliant)

Original recipe Sazerac in Nola, made with Pierre Ferrand 1840. Made so excellent with a Por Larranaga Encantos!

Mortlach "Special Strength" (new duty free distillery bottling)

Surprisingly not the epic quality of Mortlach I'm used to as we estimate it's a 10 year old (no age statement)

Still very good for a 10 year old and especially for the price point.

Thoughts on the Yoichi, Seng?

Clean sweet but a little hot. Vanilla and coconut tinged Xmas cake.

Prefer the Macallan Cask Strength over this but only just by a nose whisker.

The Ardmore loses out from the sulphuric/butyl nose although it improves with time in the glass - loses the sulphur.

After a day out, it's good to relax with a smoke and a drink: Para Japon by La Aurora and some Ardbeg Ten.

The dry profile of the smoke complements the ashy profile of the malt and brings out the sweetness in the drink.
