Thread: Scotch/whiskey of the day

I drink my bourbon neat but occasionally I put ice in JD.

I prefer neat myself. Having said that, a splash of water from a glacier fed river in caribou camp is nice.

Laphroig quarter cask accompanies all my hunting trips. Its great around a campfire.
I was given a bottle of Obans as thanks for taking friends into my moose hunting camp and am enjoying that very much.

Awesome thread.

Having a glass of Laphroaig before bed. Gonna try it neat!

The tipple of the evening is Chivas Royal Salute, created to celebrate the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Aged 21 years after the traditional 21 Gun Salute. Available in 3 different coloured porcelain flagon, each comes in a velvet bag. Simply beautiful.

This evening is the turn of the 'Sapphire' flagon, and a measure I would describe as a generous 'slug' neat of course.





Enjoy your drink this evening, and cheers

The tipple this evening was lurking in the background yesterday. This bottle was bought for me by my brother last week.
Monkey Shoulder, a blend of 3 Speyside malts, Kininvie, Balvenie and Glenfiddich.
The bottle is adorned with 3 brass monkeys, one for each of the malts.
'Monkey Shoulder' was a nickname given to a temporary injury some malt men occasionaly suffered many years ago as a result of repeatedly bending over whilst turning the malt with wooden shovels.

This is my first glass, very smooth, malty sweet, dry, a bit of vanilla, very drinkable actually, I can see this finding a regular place.

A nice little 'slug' in a heavy Jasper Conran Waterford crystal tumbler.



Enjoy your drink this evening, and cheers

Nope, sometimes I like it neat, sometimes with a ice cube.

It is always personal.

Seems like something I'll need to try. I like a nice blend sometimes also. Tonight I will have a bit of 21 Glenfiddich since it is my weekend.

Belated, I didn't finish work until 4am so it was a quick pic and glass.

Glenmorangie Traditional 100 proof (57.2%vol) A single malt bottled straight from oak casks and not chill filtered, aged 10 years. The high alcohol than the usual standard Glenmorangie surprisingly helps this along with a lovely oak spicy soft finish, very balanced. Lovely tipple.





Enjoy your drink whenever you're taking it today, and cheers

The Monster.

P.S.
Mvcrash, I believe the Monkey Shoulder would make an excellent mixer too.

Scotch. Nice and neat

Nothing too fancy tonight, just Chivas Regal 12 y.o., neat of course.

Knob Creek 9 year, 120 proof.
