Whisky / Whiskey / Bourbon

I made ginger simple syrup then made a Woodford Reserve old fashioned. Well good. Merry fucking Christmas.

I've gone a little bit off-piste but this is lovely. It's a bramble (blackberry) liquer with whisky and honey.

It's great just with ice and now I'm having it with ice, a slice of lemon and tonic.

Love the print behind - so much that.

Thanks! That was a birthday present from my lovely partner.

Whisky stones and the Malt whisky yearbook. Get in! Merry Christmas whiskateers!

It's a whisky Christmas so far. Looking forward to trying these glasses out vs the Glencairn

Got this from the GF, am going to drink a couple very soon, so I can figure out which one tickles my Ickles, as there's the possibility I'll be in Japan in the new year and I can bring back a couple of big people bottles.
Probably will be the Coffey grain whiskey and two others as I tried it in black rock and liked it immensely..

Also got gifted Tin Cup American Whiskey and a Glenlivet 12. Trying the Tin Cup now. Quite sweet, not much to it. Drinkable though. Cheers!

Amazon have just delivered a bottle of Knob Creek.

Anyone tried it? Might wait to NYE to open it as i have a bottle of Woodford to keep me going until then.

I tried the 9y aged knob creek a few days ago ... was ok, quite 'oaky' and not as sweet as other bourbons ... but still a good one

That's the one.

Not as sweet is good for me; my taste is somewhere between Scotch and Bourbon on sweetness.

I liked the Bulleit rye, was going to go for the Knob Creek rye but £50...

Decided not to wait until NYE...

Just had a little taster. It's pretty good. Bit of smoke, bit of sweetness. Nice without being particularly exceptional.

Would drink again.

Would pay £34.99 again? No.

I think it's great! Get in.

In Edinburgh, it's my birthday tomorrow so Simon just took me to Cadenhead whiskey shop. They bottle whiskey from the cask, picked up a Longrow.

Longrow? Strong call. HB and all that.

Picked up a Lagavulin to see in the New Year with.

^ that'll do it just fine

Well this is the best christmas haul yet. 3 are new one isn't. All will be enjoyed.

I can tell you from L-R

Great - picked one up from Narita
Only tried once at a whisky bar -gentle, toffees. Nice & smooth.
Awesome - bright, orange on the nose, citrus even apple in taste.
Laphroaig, I'm sure you know plenty about that one.

Great haul!

*now just chuck that 1 cal olive oil spray ;)

That oil spray is offensive to me but my wife insists on using it. She even throws a wobbly when i make her tea with my full fat (and a mean proper full fat none of this nonsense supermarket full fat milk) milk. She prefers here soya milk.

I thought the hibiki had notes or a lovely bourbon can't place the flavours but uhmmmmmm.
