The only thing wrong with that is the bottle's way too small... :facepalm:

Yeah, it was a great drop. Nothing like an old Islay. Smooths out the bite. The retail on the big bottle from memory was $1395. I always enjoy the 30ml bottles. They are a standard pour and allow everyone to try the expensive bottles and or to broaden their understanding of a range of distilleries, maturation etc. A big bonus in my book is that they are decanted from a fresh bottle so it hasn't potentially sat on the shelf at a bar for years going off.

I can't believe the year's almost over, and the last post in this thread was in January! :facepalm: So here's a bump...

Pass me another bloody glass, beautiful goldie light brownie colour, that’s more of a triple shot you’re having.
 
This one's an outlier for me, as I don't usually buy any whiskey with an "e", but I had to see what all the fuss was about with this one...

Sorry the focus isn't as good as I had thought, so I should mention that it's a cask strength Bushmills 2010 Double Moscatel Cask. It scored 98/100 points and Double Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition ‘24, one of the most prestigious and globally respected spirits shows. And yes, that amazing colour is real.

No Scotch on special at Dan’s today, so slumming it with a bottle of Grants.
I was lucky last Saturday though. Went to a whiskey bar down at Manly Beach and had a glass of Dalmore Cigar Malt Reserve.
Absolutely delicious. At $32 a shot it would want to be. Thankfully it was my best mate who shouted.
If I ever win the Lotto I’ll buy a bottle but it’s out of my price range.

Started with Redbreast 12. Sorry but did not take a photo for that one. It's about my third drink from the bottle spaced over a few weeks. So far not as blown away as I thought I'd be. Withholding judgement for now.

Now to finish it's Makers Mark 46.
I'm fairly new to Bourbon but I'm enjoying it.
