Ahhhh Santa was working overtime this past year & dropped off a few fine single malts, 2 scotch & one single malt Peated IRISH whisky, , it is a wonder I still have a liver hahahahaha! The Connermara peated single Malt from Ireland was a wonderfull suprise Not as Robust a malt as Laphroaig , but then what else is in that class anyhow, a beautyfull golden straw color , smooth & flavorfull, a bit thin on the aftertaste but held up to a Rocky Patell Edge Maduro quite well, it was sipped with a large mug of Kona on the side , which did help a lot keeping the night moving along rather nicely.
Next up was the Bowmore Islay Dawn, it was finished in Port Kegs & has a wonderfull deep color to give a tinge of burgandy to the color of the whisky, verrrrry headdy, a great aroma, smooth & slightly sweeeeet, a great companion to an Opus X corona , again with Kona ( I got a pound of Kona Beans from a gooooooood friend for Christmas ) so I need to drink it all up asap, I have a pound of Kona I just got right before Thanksgiving & I only brew the Kona on Sundays, just to help make the day special, well now I have a lot more Kona than I usually do, so I MUST drink it !!hahaha
That brings me to the last libation of this holiday season, last night , the same FRIEND who gave me the Kona shows up with a bottle of Aberlor A'Brunda , all 121 proof of it, what a sweeeeeet whisky, the color is deep golden red, the aroma is one that I just wish you had the ability to smell what I am injesting into my lungs right now, dammmmmmmmmm it is so Frigging GOOD!, the taste is one of butterscotch /toffee, the viscosity is like S.T.P., it is so smoooooooth I cant put it in words, it is like honey that has extra lubricants in it, like when you were on your honeymoon & the Moaning & groaning were deffening to the people in the next 2 rooms, it was that good ! Get my drift, yes it was Orgasmatic , hey when your as old as I am & have been married as long as I have , just about anything will work hahahahaha
So there you have it, 3 great drams next up , a low cost fine single malt Spayburn my go to every day dram when there is nothing to celebrate but the whisky & cigar it self, & that my friends is a celebration all to its own.
"Make every meal a banquite, serve a cigar at the end !"
Damm I like that statement !
Enjoy, Vince
