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

24.127

Nose: Sweet citrus, rather muted.

Taste: More citrus, rock sugar, malty, a little nutty with a vein of bitterness, not as bright as I had hoped.

Finish: Slightly rough edged on the finish, sweet but mild. Not bad but I was really hoping for more, being a cask strength Macallan and all.

120.7

Nose: UHU glue, varnish, intense floral sweetness.

Taste:: Explosive and youthful. A melange of dark fruit - raisins, dates, blackcurrants. Dark chocolate. Very vibrant.

Finish: Very long and intense. Sweet and winey, rose cordial. Ribena. Reminds of those blackcurrant gumdrops. Some heat from the alcohol but it's warming and gentle.

116.20

Nose: Bonito flakes, cured meat, a lot going on in this one.

Taste: Mellow and complex - sweet, salty and smoky all at once. Smoked meat, coffeeish, light soy sauce, roast beef gravy with butter mixed in then sweet wood. Rich and satisfying.

Finish: Long, very long and smooth. Salty tang and meaty. A very unique sensory experience. I like this one the most.

I've been gravitating away from Highlands towards the Islay single malts and found this one to be a terrific transition. Not too much smoke and peat. Paired well with the Siglo III.

Looking forward to your tasting notes on these.

Yesterday, I finished off a bottle of Zaya and ended the day enjoying a glass of Bevlamo Moscato D'Asti with my wife...that's just about the only wine she will drink but boy, does she like it.

Today, I enjoyed a couple of glasses of 2010 Nipozzano Riserva Chianti Rufina with a nice portion of baked ziti for lunch.
