Slainte To All

Cheers, Jeff. We'll have several malts open at my house New Year's Eve, but several of us will be focusing on a fresh bottle of Laphroaig 10 to bring in the new year.

Hmmmm. I've got all these bottles of Ardbeg 10 that I can't stop buying at $29.99 US that I might have to start doing something about. And my Aberlour 15 is getting better all the time now that it is about half full and 6 weeks open.

But tonight methinks I'll uncap the Westvleteren 12 (a beer--but not just any beer) that I brought back from Utrecht in August, and then open up the miniature 3-pack of Balvenie 10, 12, and 15 that I found at an Albertson's in Orlando last month for $9.99!

So don't you worry about the duckie and the horsie if you can appreciate the Westvleteren! Hope you brought more than 1 bottle. Boyfriend is very jealous, there's 'only' Westmalle Dubbel in our fridge!

Myself, I'll be drinking Uideadail or Balmenach 27y or Highland Park 18y, still deciding, but who says I need to decide?!?

Enjoy,

Marjon

Time to open the Ardbeg Lord of the Isles, methinks...

Had that one in mind too, but decided to toast in John McDougall's Selection Bladnoch, just opened last night. Single cask 15yo, As nature intended: Cask Strength, No Chill filtering, No Additions Flowers, Honey, Eucalyptus, Sweet malt...mmmmmm :-P

Right now enjoying Longrow 14yo, new addition to the range: Peat smoke softly mingling with sherry on the nose. Peat smoke and dried fruit on the finish. Not as potent as the 10yo, but very pleasant indeed

LOTI awaiting another great moment

We had a CAMRA trip to Poperinge earlier in the year and made a visit to Saint Sixtus ( Westvleteren) and picked up a few bottles of the 6,8 and 12. Lovelyl
