A Dram of the Good Stuff !

Got down to this natty little bar in Brisbane over the weekend. It's called Cobbler and what you're looking at is a selection of over 300 whiskies from Scotland, Ireland, Japan and Australia.



Here's what I tried:

Lagavulin 8 Year Old
- Young, sweet barley married to a huge wave of peat smoke and iodine. Delicious.

Laphroaig 15 year old
- Beautiful creaky-old oak and vanilla spice with wood smoke and sea spray.

Connemara (peated Irish whiskey)
- First time I've tried this: beautifully balanced, just the right amount of subtle peat smoke - very 'Scotchy' for an Irish. Going to look out for this one from now on, for sure.

Finished the night with an Ardbeg Rob Roy which was made with just the right amount of sweetness.

Sláinte Mhath!
