·An uncommon 18, and a very common 18.
Springbank is the first peaty dram I’ve ever liked. I would encourage @alam and others to try it even if you don’t like smoky Scotch. This one is like eating dark chocolate covered raisins as your breathing air in at a campfire.
Macallan is common, I purchased it mainly for guests as everyone knows the brand. I’ve actually never had it before until today, good stuff.

This one’s kind of a good “My First Scotch” I think. At first I was thoroughly unimpressed, it wasn’t bad by any means but it was sort of bog standard. On second try though it’s very smooth and lightly peaty, and IMO might be a great introduction to Scotch (since you could decide which aspects you liked, and go from there) if it were a regular release.
Very cute method of explaining the notes though; the box is decorated like an amp and the “knobs” printed on the side show how strong each bit is. And the volume goes to 11 of course 😀

·Was hunting for a lowland Scotch today and I thought I’d share some pricing (usd) on some of the higher end bottles while there.

A Manhattan sour a variant of the Boston Sour which is a variant of the Whiskey sour.
1 egg white
2oz whiskey ( Bulleit rye in this case my go to cocktail whiskey)
1 oz simple syrup
1oz lemon juice
1oz red wine
Shake all ingredients except the wine with ice cubes for at least 30 seconds to make the froth.
Strain and pour over ice.
Pour red wine over spoon to get the layers.
Why I did this is I had a great French table wine that was very sweet that I had no recollection of buying. Had the wine with a great dinner of pork, green beans and my mashed potatoes. The wine was great but made me think of this weird variant of the whisky/Boston sour that I loved. So I made it.
Pro tip: when making it do the egg white first so if you mess it up you don’t have to throw out every other ingredient.
