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

Sipping on a fine rum after a long day. Will open the aberlour soon.

There's a lot to be said for taking time out and enjoying the simple things in life!

Mortlach and Clynelish "my man"

Now to get you into some single cask, cask strength bottlings...

Try single cask cask strength Glendronach and a Glengoyne ...if you can find them.

Have those and am hoarding them for now - lol. They look so pretty unopened.

Lots of Glengoyne cask strength out there...check your stash as you may not have an actual single cask/cask strength expression, as they are uber rare...I have only three.

If you find one snap it up.

Join the SMWS my man if you're keen for cask strength, un chill filtered, single barrel expressions. I've only been a member for a year and had access to plenty of cool stuff.

Cadenheads too.... Some great mortlachs with them.

Yeah nah the whole SWMS membership thing doesn't quite float my boat as I mainly collect specialist bottlings I'm after or closed distilleries to actually drink...

This does though...just bidding on it at auction.

Rates 94 - Single Malt Unicorn !

It was World Gin Day on Saturday 11th of June, so I decided to try something new, a Last Word Cocktail. It's made with equal parts Gin, Green Chartreuse, Maraschino Liqueur and Lime Juice. I found the recipe on-line, with Hendricks's Gin to soften the drink, alas, let me reassure you, this is one hell of a cocktail!

I also had a 'tried-and-trusted' signature cocktail this weekend, the Sazerac Cocktail (made by coating a glass with absinthe, adding sugar syrup and Peychaud's bitters and a squeeze of a lemon peel over 2 ounces of added cognac or rye). Whether it's cognac or rye, this never seems to disappoint in any way, I just love them. Sometimes the simplest drinks are the best, aren't they?
