[Drinking] Today is International whisky/whiskey day!

[Doonhamer7]

International celebration of the water of life, what will you be sampling in recognition today?

 

[Gazwag]

I have half a bottle of Jura left, might sample some of that later then

 

[Sussexscots]

Auchentoshan American Oak , a Glengoyne 12yo, finish off the bottle of Paddy I bought for St Patrick's Day (any excuse for Murphy and a dram) and a bit of Makers Mark 46 which was on offer with Amazon this week.

Glengoyne 12

Normally I'm against these "international days of" which are either marketing devices, forced fun or yet more identity politics.

I'll make an exception here.

Talisker is my go-to and it just so happened that last week Tesco had a Clubcard deal offering £14 off a bottle of Talisker Skye, which is sitting, unopened, in the cupboard. Looks like tonight is the night to open it!

Nikka Whisky From the Barrel in recognition.
A rather excellent drop.

I went off whisky after 1 particularly heavy New Years Eve but this is superb and rekindled my liking for it.

Arran 10 year old is my tipple of choice. A fabulous dark finish for a 10 year old malt and one with more Speyside flavours than one would expect from a West coast Island distillery. They have discontinued the 10 year old for the time being but the Whiskey Exchange have it for a shade under £36 a bottle.

I am down to my last four bottles....must stock up!

Talisker I think.

No chance! Am on hired van driving duty this weekend - daughter's flat moving. Best stay off the hard stuff!

 

[Razzoo]

Lagavulin 16 year old tonight then. Cheers

Talisker I think.

Evil stuff that.....its like drinking charcoal

Why do I like it so much?

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Depending on my mood later, it'll either be the Laphroaig or the Buffalo Trace bourbon

 

[Boys 9d]

Black Bush for me

Talisker for me too. Pretty mild compared to Laphroaig and reminds me of the moody skies of Skye.

 

[Rambo]

Bowmore for me tonight. I have drank most of my other whisky over the last year of lockdown and I did have quite a collection.

 

[madinthehead]

Talisker I think.

Ill join you. I will have a nice Talisker 18 later.. May even follow that up with a Jura Prophecy

 

[Swansman]

I will celebrate with beer

 

[Doonhamer7]

Starting with Highland Park Saltire (David Coultard edition) - let’s see where the night goes

 

[Saltydog]

Black Bush for me

Always Irish and redhead , by the way lads and lasses Whiskey is the only way to go imho . But if you can combine a redhead and a good Irish whiskey you`re a lucky man indeed , currently in love with Pogue`s single malt that a very kind spuds friend bought for me , and am now on my 3rd bottle .
