        Richland, Michigan. These were good too, boozy and quite spicy. Topped a couple off with a 24oz Pumking draft.

                Looking forward to getting home from work ( no drink offshore on the platform ) and tucking in to the whisky shelf.

                Thought I should take a few pictures of the bottles on offer at the moment.  I do have a few more stashed away but these are the current ones on the go.

                Been a fan of Mortlach for a while now but it rarely gets released as an original bottling.  This is the new "Rare Old" release bottling, sampled it before buying and it is rather good and pretty good value too at around £45.

                Can't go wrong with a standard Lagavulin.  The Duncan and Taylor 25 year Bunny is stunning, well worth seeking out, great value for a 25 year old single cask offering as well.

                Latest Kilkerran release, I think it is release #6.  I managed to pick up both the bourbon and sherry cask finish bottles.  A very nice dram for sessioning, easy to drink.  Kilkerran is a recent project kicked off by Springbank distillery.  They bought and renovated the old Glengyle distillery and have been releasing batches of Kilkerran.  Springbank can not use the original distillery name for their whisky unfortunately, Loch Lomond distillers own the right to the Glengyle name.  If you can find these bottles I can definitely recommend them.

                The latest peated An Cnoc offerings, nice but not as heavy hitting as some of the Islay drams.

                Glendronach single cask limited releases, yet to buy a bad one.

                Distillery only release from Glengoyne called the teapot dram.  Effectively a nice way to sell a blended whisky.

                The pride of the fleet!  Carn Mor bottling of a Tamnavulin single cask filled in 1968, the first year the distillery produced any spirit.  I treated myself to this bottle and trying to make it last.  Best drop of whisky I have on the shelf.

                Some Rum to finish with, got to have some variety!

                Slainte!!

                There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                          I get my gin from different sources.
                          Personally, I quite like Master of Malt for the opportunity to order samples of new gin to try…

                          Looking at Urban Drinks' offer I can recommend:

                          • Adler Gin from Berlin - clean, good, straight forward
                          • Brockmans - smooth & floral
                          • Citadelle Reserve 2013 - not available...
                          • Ferdinand's Dry Saar Gin - another very nice German gin...
                          • Gin Mare - more herbal than floral: rosemary & thyme, get 1724 tonic at the same time
                          • Junipero Dry Gin
                          • Monkey 47 - regular or distiller's cut
                          • NB Gin - new Scottish distillery
                          • Sipsmith
                          • The Botanist - floral gin from Isle of Skye, Scotland

                          Regarding tonic water I can only say that I haven't tried them all, but I like:

                          • 1724
                          • Fentimans
                          • Fever Tree
                          • Gents
                          • Thomas Henry

                          Indi & Co was quite sweet, but that made it work with Bainbridge Heritage Organic Doug Fir Gin.

                                I'm a beer guy 97/100 drinks but tonight was perfect for warming up with a nice dark rum. It's a strong Pennsylvanian rum flavored with cane sugar and Monsoon Malabar coffee. It is very bourbon like in taste and character.

                                  Sounds great - will try to look that one up.

                                  Had a sweet night too the other evening:

                                  The apple whiskey liqueur is amazing.

                                    Sadly, I've discovered this:

                                    This is the first whiskey I've enjoyed drinking neat. Normally I'll add a cube of ice to Bourbon or Scotch, but this Dalmore is so damn smooth.

                                          All of them are extremely good - Sipsmith and Citadelle have special editions/cuts available to go further…
