I highly recommend the Aberlour a'Bunadh if you want to try a nice cask strength whisky. Just over 120 proof if I recall, so a few drops of water are a must.

Tonight's dram is Aberlour 12.
I'm looking to get a whisky from Islay for my next purchase, but I promised I would finish a bottle off before I purchase another (same with shaving soaps).

I always tell myself the same, but it's so easy to find a really good reason to buy more. ("It's thursday, I should celebrate by buying myself a present" for example.) I have at least six shaving soaps on the go, and the one pipe that I was going to keep til it burnt out became seven in less than a year. Blogging reviews keeps my whisky consumption in check, but not the buying. The bottles are starting to queue up in the cupboard.
