I just felt like Rye tonight, and this is what I found in the cabinet ...

Great pics @alam

Tonight I’m having Glendronach 18, it’s a fantastic pour if you like bourbon or sweeter Scotches. No smoke or peat, but very rich and tasty.

Slightly off topic since I'm not drinking it but interesting nonetheless...

"A 73-year-old bottle of French Burgundy became the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold at auction, fetching $558,000 on Saturday"
"...along with a bottle of whiskey that sold at Sotheby's Saturday for $843,200..."

Looks like the start to a good night..

Out for Trivia night. Solid little dryish French cider.

Nice collections!! Bitten by the bug, I’ve been pining for a Moonwatch. So as is often the case (like, 24/7) I troll OF threads and posts to learn as much about my new obsession....and they invariably lead here!

I definitely need a drink. Scotty, beam me to Mtek’s house.

Edit - Ardbeg tonight...

Birth year Armagnac, Tawney Port and a gift from the Chef something citrusy with my 68 Seiko and my GF borrowing my Speedy Date. Thank god for Uber. 4 year anniversary.

Look like a great evening. Congrats on your anniversary @Foo2rama

I bought an Ardbeg An Oa based on reviews of it being sweet and thin. I was hoping to gradually get into the peated Islays. I just can’t do it. I let this sit, I added a few drops of water, etc. I’ll never like this type of Scotch, to me it has a thick and heavy nose of bacon or smoked ham, and it tastes the same. Very oily too. There’s no sting or brightness to this one, perhaps I would like it more if it did to interrupt up the strong smoke flavor. I know peat has a following for a reason, but it will never be for me. A shame as I want to enjoy all types.

Anyone want a bottle of An Oa Ardbeg? I’m going to clean my glencairn with bleach (lol) and pour me a sherried Speyside or a Highland.

And i love all things peated...lol. Haven’t been on OF in a while but still pouring a good whisky frequently. Where the hell did you find the ETL and Old Fitz? That’s as hard to get as a bottle of Pappy around here.

Mtek · Oct 18, 2018

@Jking I always stop by smaller mom and pop shops, check out what they have. I have had some good luck getting hard to find bottles this way.
