Ardbeg is like drinking/eating the peat bog itself, I love it

 

Fellow Scotch heads! I have Ardbeg's Wee Beastie and it straight up tastes like smoked meat and tar lol

 

I haven't tried Ardbeg 10, but I've had two bottles of Ardbeg Uigeadail. Great, great stuff. And, obviously, Lagavulin 16 is a no brainer if you like the peat. It tastes like the holidays.

 

Went into the store to grab some Four Roses Single Barrel and came out with the new Makers “The Keepers” release. “The Heart” was my favorite pour of last year, so I am very excited to try it. Didn’t even know it was out.

On the recent subject of Lagavulin 16, given that here in the UK the price has increased by around 100% to around £80 when it could be bought for nearer £40/50 around 7 years ago means I'm unlikely to buy it again any time soon. I have a 10YO from travel retail on the go however and it does the job. And the 8YO is £55 online so I'd go got that over the 16.

 

Oh man I love me some lagavulin

 

Last nights night cap.

 

Brother-in-law got me a bottle of Aberlour A'bunadh for celebrating my having published a book. I used to have a bottle but that was a few years ago. Still the finest Scotch I've ever had
