  • Anniversary

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Mon Nov 30 08:15:00 2020
    For my wife's and my anniversary, she bought me a bottle of "Writers'
    Tears", an Irish whisky to put alongside my increasingly Islay-heavy
    scotch whisky connection.

    It's an irish whisky aged in American bourbon barrels and French
    cognac barrels. It ends up being a nice, sweet drink with a caramel
    nose (to me, at least) and a smooth finish.

    it might do nicely with a lemon peel. Or another glass.

    If you haven't, you should try the Balvenie. I'm quite partial to the 14 year Caribbean cask and the 21 year port wood. They do a triple wood but it seems you can only get that at duty free stores, which would give me a good excuse
    to go to Canada I guess :)

    It's been years. Thanks for the recommendation! I'm definitely ready
    for a vacation from Peaty. :)

    I don't like peaty at all. These are rather smooth Speyside whiskys. If you're after a slightly cheaper 21 year then I can highly recommend the Aberfeldy.

    I think I have a nice range now - a bottle of Peat Monster(an
    American blended scotch that echoes some of the Islays), a bottle of
    Writer's Tears that I mentioned, a bottle of Old Potrero rye whiskey
    (distilled by the Anchor distillery in San Francisco in the style of
    old 18th century ryes) and a bottle of Ardbeg, an Islay.

    Slainte!
