I had a drop of sloe whisky the other night. The whisky component didn't taste like it was particularly good, but who would use good whisky for steeping sloes? It was very festive all the same. Merry Christmas everyone!

I'm getting ready to have some bourbon and egg nog. Happy Holidays!
Had a 16 year old Laphroaig this evening. Very pleasant. A bit less smokey and medicinal than younger expressions, but sweeter, bit more herbal. Very nice indeed.
I bought an ardbeg 10, which I compared with the corryvreckan, and found the same thing
10 year old is very in your face and peaty rawness. Corryvreckan is deeper, sweeter, (saltier) with more complexity.
Both are great, depending on what you fancy.
I bought this for my parents as a Christmas gift and my excellent wife just happened to have bought it for me as a Christmas present as well.
Great minds think alike

Havent tried it yet, were at the inlaws for Christmas but will crack it open tonight. Apparently it is slightly peaty
It is from the isle of Mull so I plan on mulling over important things tonight such as whether or not I will need a second dram ;)
Thanks Santa !!! haven't had the Macallan 15 yethttp://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...psljcxfbnv.jpg
Well I tried it tonight and surprise surprise I decided to have a second dram.
No it isn't very peaty at all, perhaps the guy that sold it to my wife and I (I presume it was the same guy) was thinking of Ledaig.
It was quite nice but now I want to compare it to the Ledaig, which I will have to find before I manage to finish this off
