Where's that from? Was it nice?

Now I treated myself to this just before Christmas, a Kilchoman Sauternes Cask single malt. It's a bona ride rarity, I believe it may be sold out, for ever. I bought it with th full intention of drinking it, and that is what I am doing, it is simply sensational.

The best whisky I've ever had is Bruichladdich Yquem Cask. The 'Laddie make some damn fine whisky. I did try Glenmorangie Sauternes Cask, and was most disappointed by it but, like you, I think there's something in this Sauternes/sweetie-whisky combo.

That Bruicladdich sounds rather special, it's a wonderful distillery. My all time favourite was probably a 22 YO Caol Ila single barrel I bought many moons ago, but I've been fortunate over the years to be able to buy a variety of superb malts. A 25 YO single barrel Laphroig was a particular beauty, as was a 30 YO Springbank. These days I tend to prefer rarer bourbons, but I do like to find an unusual malt, I go to Hennings in Pulborough, they are quite avid and regularly have some cracking malts to keep my Scottish love affair going.

Sainsbury's, very nice yes. Good value too. Not always a fan of Amarone, but this was not too heavy and no hangover today!

Have you forgotten about those surprise afternoon kick backs that sometimes occur out of the blue....

Especially with Italian wines I find.
