minermark Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 The evening is progressing well. Cave/tool cleaning up. 4 frigging hours on the roll-a-way alone, just cleaning the critter up and making a stash bucket for future use. Also making a bucket for the young contractor across the street, this will be his fourth. Nipping at the Single malt i am, looking at this Maduro torpedo also. I kind of started thinking how long iv had this huge tool box, and if iv ever cleaned it? 25+ years, and nope never cleaned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minermark Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 Plans for the evening, back from a Depot run picking up a couple painting items. Just cracked a Corona, and looking at that bottle of Lagavulin, maybe just a sip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydro_pyro Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I've heard the Japanese are producing the best malt whiskies in the world now. Our state liquor commission doesn't have any of them on their stupid distributor lists. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Received some 10 year aged Bulliet whiskey, along with 2 gingers Irish whiskey. Haven't tried them yet, but may be worthy for bringing in the new Year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been extremely happy with the Japanese whiskey I have been buying over the last couple years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydro_pyro Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I've been getting over a cold. I'll let you know after my palate is restored. My nose is just starting to clear up. The smoke is intense. I like the peat smoke in the Highland Park a little better, but I may develop more of an acquired taste for the Islay peat... The same thing happened with Highland Park... I wasn't crazy about it at first, but then it started to grow on me. The sweetness was hiding behind the peat, and it took a while to develop the palate to appreciate it. I had some Balvenie Doublewood tonight with a little dash of Lag 16 to add some smoke. It was a nice compromise between sweet and smoky. These little Glencairn Copita glasses make everything in whisky more enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydro_pyro Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Had a wee bit of this tonight. Nice peat smoke... Not as smooth as the Lag 16, but at half the price, it's a great value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
