I love the green as well but tonight I am having Johnny Walker Swing. Found it on a cruise around the Caribbean. The bottle actually wobbles to mimic the waves of the sea. Yeah I know gimmicky but I like it even better than the blue and its cheaper (a lot cheaper). Actually pulled out the bottle before I saw people were on a Johnny theme tonight.
It's got some smokiness to it and a little bit of peat. Almost out of it so I think I'll have to go on a cruise again as it's the only place I've ever seen it.

Tonight it's a dram of Laphroaig 10 year old.

Just realized I keep drinking the good stuff on Thursdays.

A bit more A'Bunadh for me. Trying to get a review up on my blog, but I keep having internet issues at home. I'm posting this from work and can't work on whisky reviews. It's ever so slightly frustrating.

A'Bundh or Glenfarclas 15, or maybe Glenfarclas 105, are on my short list for next whisky purchase. Any thoughts?

I'm quite a fan of glenfarclas actually. I've not tried the 15 year old but the 105 is excellent for its price. It's very rich with quite deep flavours. - think Christmas cake. I might get another bottle soon.

Glenfarclas 12 year old seems more like an island whisky - oily and peppery. That was great and only about £30

I'd like to try the 10 year old too, maybe next.

I'm loving the A'Bunadh at the moment. I haven't tried the other two you mentioned.

So you are having a dram at work?
