Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)
-
The rest of my evening…
-
This is intriguing…
-
Tried Suntory Yamizake? Not bad…
-
I picked up a bottle of the Glenmorangie Signet this weekend. My favorite single malt so far.
-
I tend to go for those peatier styles like Laphroaig and Talisker.
To that end, if you want a little extra hair on your chest, this is a big boy: http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1009616

Hmm, undecided as to my next bottle. My 1/4 cask laphroaig is almost finished. None of the deals at work are very interesting, and I really don't want to open my 'Snow Phoenix'…
-
The sad passing of Hiroshi Yamaguchi President and Chairman of Nintendo Co Ltd has made the decision of my next whisky for me…
-
To round of the evening…
Hibiki Japanese blended whisky, extremely smooth. Very nice. Caused the girl behind the bar no end of trouble "I've not sold many whiskies yet". :).
-
Sweet, moved on to:
Petercairn which is an Islay malt. So very smokey… Not as rough as Laphroigh though, which is my favourite Islay malt and which Iain Banks described as "an explosion in a chemists shop" or something similar... I recommend Iain Bank's Raw Spirit by the way. A book about the search for the perfect single malt.
-
I know I'm being vague here, but does anyone know the name of a ridiculously peaty scotch which comes in a very modern looking black bottle? Retails about £70 a bottle.
-
Found it, it's Octomore.
-
I don't know if you could be any more vague :). The company I work for currently has a Dalmore Constellation for £2,000 the Constellation range tops out at £125,000 which I imagine nobody will ever drink…
-
Too peaty?
-
I can't imagine that any single malt could be described as 'too peaty' but then, I do like peaty malts…
