I've moved on to a very nice Bunnahabhainn 12 y.o.

But on the recommendation of a U.S. facebook 'friend' I'm trying Buffalo Trace bourbon this year. A nice warming sip with a delicate flavour quite unlike the more highly spiced Southern Comfort 'starters' to this line of spirit.

Just a little info.they use sherry casks here to store the whiskey,but they can only use them 5 times then they end up cut in half and used as flower planters.in Scotland a tax was payable on all whiskey bottled in the Highlands but not in the Lowlands,one distillery had its distilling plant one side of the border and its bottling plant the other side (about 5 hundred yards apart) so the whiskey was sent across the border through underground pipes and no tax was payable.it is still used today but tax laws have changed .

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese allow me one tiny point when worshipping here: if it comes from Scotland, it does not have an "e". Look on the label: every single one, malt or blended, is spelt 'whisky'. Many thanks and keep enjoying!

Very interesting, I visited the Glengoyne distillery outside of Glasgow in 2019 and they did some in the sherry casks and some in American oak, the difference in colour and smoothness was very evident. Canadian distillers used to sell the barrels after they were finished with them (rum and rye whiskey) whole. People bought them up and put 16 to 20 litres of distilled water in them and turned them a quarter turn each day for nine weeks and then strained the results through a coffee filter. It was called swish and was actually quite impressive. The government then demanded they cut the barrels in half as they were losing too many tax dollars on booze sales.

Can see you nay have any Scot blood in yee. A true one of that blood line would NEVER, NEVER ask for help with even a dram of Single Malt.
I lift a wee glass of this fine brew high and wish all a very Merry Christmas and hopefully a much better 2022.

If you only have the small bottle I wouldn’t dare take your daily allowance.
Please enjoy accordingly.
Happy Holidays 😀

My favorites.
Caol Ila, Laphroigh, Lagavulin and anything from the island of "Islay".

Footnote, Even Costco sold a single malt Islay scotch. Under their own label.
