What are you drinking?

[Karl Henning]

Of course. Nik and I were just joking about waiting six years for a 12yo to age into an 18.

Sarge

I know!  You have a most excellent wit.

[North Star]

Ach, nevermind. Buy another bottle of the 12 and put it away for six years - and when you open it we can bump the thread. 

Sounds so easy, yet...

Quite.

Do not age your own cheese.

Just sayin'.

[North Star]

Um, OK. Now I really need a drink.

[Sergeant Rock]

Do not age your own cheese.

True...unless you like the color green

Your site looks interesting. Hope you will drop by and chat with the lads from time to time.

After a quick peek, and a read of #9 (Mahler 10), I do indeed like it and will be reading more. Thank you.

Oskar Blues Ten Fidy Imperial Stout - PFG!

P.S. Why does the eating thread get a sticky but this one doesn't?

Just finished the Glen Alba 34yr old blended whisky that my best friend/assistant/arch nemesis etc kindly bought me for xmas. How was it? Well, certainly smoother than almost every blend I'm familiar with, but perhaps presenting a lack of fullness throughout. Having said that, it's lovely and I'd be more than happy to have it as an ever present on my shelf.

A gift in the form of a bonus from a gallery owner - I don't buy stuff like this.

So it's a freebie. And it's beautiful. Perhaps not for a fan of the Islay peats and maybe too firmly (safely?) in the middle ground between the lightness of honey and a vigorous elder oak. But if 'life is a series of compromises' then I'll settle for a sweet tasting 16 year old any time at all.

Very nice indeed... although the last line sounds a bit iffy.

Relatively simple and straightforward, a reliable and trustworthy(!) example of a highland single malt. And If it lacks anything in layered complexity, then it's more than made up for via a smoothness that's delicate enough to allow that fine, solid character to peek through.

Talisker Storm Malt Whisky.

I stopped early for the day and during my shopping picked up this simple indulgence; a neat procession headed by spicy sweetness and followed by smoke that trails to little more than an impression of peat. Easy. And if that makes it unremarkable then it's fine by me, because it's still a real pleasure.

Who needs the single malt?   



A while back a good way to dispose of these was pointed out to me. So, here I go.

Brilliant advice indeed    Hope the bottle was properly chilled before consumption.

Myself, I'm drinking a white also: a 2015 Riesling from Kloster Eberbach.
