BT with a splash last night. The flavor difference compared to the previous night’s ER was evident.
What are you drinking tonight?
- Thread starter Mad Man
- Start date
This evening it will be Southern Tier 2 X IPA.

Gutfeel would say Lagavulin 16 but I don’t know the state of the current bottlings, prices have gone up considerably though.
I’m sitting on my first bottle of Uigeadail myself but this is something for fall/winter.
Other than that I can recommend a vatted/blended Malt from 4 Islay distilleries —> Big Peat.
Please overlook the cheesy artwork, Douglas Laing knows what he’s doing. This is good stuff without any colorants, no overly old but tasty.

I agree with those suggestions from @Whiterook. Anything from Ardbeg ought to be on your short list to try. I'll add that Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich, and Bowmore also might be worth a try, but they aren't nearly as smoky as what's been mentioned. If you want something else along those lines, check out Port Charlotte (once was under the Bruichladdich umbrella but spun off as its own brand a little while back).
Oh, yeah. I also tried a whisky called "Smokehead" at the last Houston Whiskey Social. The name led me to believe that it was little more than novelty, but I actually quite liked it.
Gin and tonic in the garden with plenty of ice
Yesterday afternoon I was at 2 liquor stores in Brooklyn participating in barrel picks of Elijah Craig (the standard 94pf). Sip and spit, repeat. Pretty good but not great. Helped pick 1 barrel for each store.
Came home and had a nice pour of Hughes Belle of Bedford rye, a private barrel pick of the NJ BBC, which is a 95/5 MGP rye at 111.58pf. Oh, it was so good.

Jameson's Black Barrel, neat.
WT 101 neat and a glass with mineral water.
Two good helpings and now to bed.
Probably a little young, but I couldn’t get the wifey to wait!
Sierra Nevada Big Little Thing IPA
This is a Luxardo Rye Manhattan. I subbed Special Reserve for rye. Nice cocktail. Luxardo can dominate sometimes, but 3 oz of whiskey mutes the influence of 3/4 oz Luxardo.
Starting my father's day weekend out right this morning. I've got the house to myself so the stereo is on with almost 2 fingers of Elijah Craig Barrel Proof.
Happy Father's day to all the dads!

Old Forester 1897, neat. My daughter bought me a bottle of Wild Turkey Rare Breed for Father's Day. I will open that after the OF is finished off.
White Horse with Ginger Ale - so so
Perhaps I shelf this one until autumn to drink it neat. Mixing has shown no benefits.

Rather boring comparing what everyone else is drinking, peroni.
Watching F1 qualifying.
Had a Rasputin Imperial Russian stout. Good stuff.
Followed with a Founders Dirty Bastard Scotch ale.
