Dos Equis with tacos...
Definitely. Neat, the smoke overpowers everything but the iodine finish. A splash of water changes the game completely and brings everything out a whole variety of flavours. I'm looking for ward to getting my hands on Ardbeg's Uigeadail or Corryvrecken for comparison.I love Laphroaig Quarter cask, but I'm out at the moment. So I'm enjoying a dram of Cutty Sark 18YO, and I'll follow that with a Bowmore 15YO before bed....
Neat in both tonight's cases, but the Laphroaig really improves with just a tiny drop of water, doesn't it....
And who would dare argue with George Cowley?I do enjoy "cutting" my scotch with a little water: usually 2 fingers scotch gets 1 finger water. Gordon Jackson used to say in the ads "to release the flavor".... But never ice!
I reckon Patron is massively over rated. Don't get me wrong, it is good, but there are as good or better tequilas out there for a lot less money and without all the hype. Come margarita season I'll go looking and see if I can find Avion out here in AusMy usual this summer has been Avion tequila(My new favorite. I've been buying it by the case. Better than Patron and about $10 cheaper) with tonic and fresh limes.
What do you think of the Quinta? It's on my list, but well down, based on a couple of reviews and Jim Murray's comments.Last night was Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
