Although I've never been a fan of it, drinking a gin & tonic using The Botanist gin.

However (...said in my best Stephen A, Smith voice...), I did bring home the box with my Elmer T. Lee bottles today. Happy, happy. ThumpUp

Hahaha! Would "I'm a slow drinker" be a valid excuse / reason? Two of the 3 bottles were gifted so I've been blessed by some very fine people (...Plowboy and Delta...).

Edit - the 2 gifted bottles came from my wife / daughter/ SIL / son and Delta. I drank up the bottle from
Mike. Beer

Once upon a time I drank JW Black before I discovered single malt scotch. After discovering single malt in 80-81, I have never taken another drink of blended.

As far as the JW Black, not to bad as blends go.


And I do like the 18yo G/fiddich.

Rare Eagle 17 yo. My youngest son shared a couple drinks from a bottle he stumbled into two years ago.

This is probably the best tasting Kentucky bourbon I have tasted in my 7 month bourbon journey.

JW Black is pleasant, drinkable, and forgetable. Buy a 12 year Speyside, or Highland. For an inexpensive Speyside I would recommend Glen Moray 12.

Nope... those are Islay malts. Glenlivet is a spey.

No, think of Glen Moray as the little brother of Glenmorangie Sherry cask 12. Fairly recently the we're both part of the same company. They are now individual entities. I think they border each other. Glen Moray is a lighter style but very good. I havent bought it in awhile, but it was about $25.00 a bottle. Most Speysides and Highlands are not overly peaty. Islays on the other hand are very peaty. Think Laphroaig or Lagavulin.

I was only able to find the Eagle Rare 10 yr aged, but it is still quite good IMHO @ $33

HIGHLY recommend the crushed ice over the cubed.

I really tried to let it "rest"..but that's why I got the bottle...going back for more now!

Ice in single malt, why?


Bushmills 16yo single malt. No H2O of any type.

As I said, I usually like it neat, but sometimes cooling it with one cube opens it up. Or adding a few drops of cold water.

Ever tried just two or three drops of water? Amazing what it will do to the flavor profile.
