On the Balvenie Tun 1401 batch 8 tonight. Today was the first time I've had actual tears about Everton since 1986. Tossers.

Not a single malt this time but gonna pop open a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label tonight

Last bottle bought was Glenfiddich 15 yr old Solera Vat, been keeping an eye out and on special offer in local Tesco so bought it, and another this week as a birthday present for No2 son. An excellent whisky and very good value.

Not a huge Glendfiddich fan, but I like that one. It's much better than their 18yo.

Same here - once had an unusual 16yo variety. Superb.

was at Johnny B. Good - a new (for here) restaurant that's like the [Poor language removed] offspring of Hard Rock Cafe and TGIFridays. Ok if expensive food... but a Dutch amigo texted me the news of impending signatures of our manager and celebrated with a Lagavulin 16. Place was so new, and anything outside Johnnie Walker is so alien that I got the first pour.

Hooray.

Pfft, whisky snob . I was given a bottle of JW "Explorers Club Collection" - " The Spice Road" , it's a pretty decent blend .

Haven't heard of that one. Sounds decent by name though.

Aye it's a complex whisky with rich flavours and exceptional smoothness. Matured in old oak casks for an intense finish inspired by the spice markets of Asia yet true to the Johnnie Walker signature. Or so they would have you believe.
No2 son picked it up at a Schipol duty free, think he got fed some guff about it only being available at 6 places in Europe. I think it was originally a limited edition sold only at airports/travel places but maybe more widely available now.

Blue label is sound. Pretty pricey though. Can't remember whether they still produce it or not.

Although a blend, just having a Smokey Black variety of Famous Grouse.

Very nice for a blend. Smooth and warming, almost like an aged malt.

props to Evertonian Rog Bennet and Lost/LOTR Dominic Monaghan celebrating USMNTNNANNTNTNTNTN's knock out win over WWEcuador with some Lagavulin 16, my personal fave.

Dram up, lads.
