  3. Just had a 39-year-old Longmorn bottled in 2012, and wow, just fantastic. It held up incredibly well.

  4. Currently enjoying a glass of White Horse, my favourite blended Scotch, and trying not to feel too down in the mouth about the world in general and my own problems.

  5. I thought rehearsal started at 5:30, but it was 6:30. Anyway, now theres time for a quick drink at the pub down the road.

  6. I got a bottle of Dramfool’s 21-year-old Port Charlotte and it’s like the nectar of the gods. Smokey and sweet, the way I love ‘em. Can’t even think of the right words to describe it.

  7. It’s whisky night. Cracking open the new Jim McEwan Port Charlotte from Dramfool for the first time. Just the whiff from the bottle as I poured is heavenly.

  8. Off to an event for Laphroaig tonight. I always say that I love it (and Islay drams in general) but it occurs to me that I've not actually had any in a few years now.

    Will I *still* like it or will its briny iodine smoke slap me around the chops and poke a finger in my eye?

  9. Just got in the new Dramfool Wolfburn whisky bottlings, trying the lightly peated one first. Holy hell what a dram. Sweet, spicy, smoky, all in perfect balance, just amazing.

  11. A rare bottle of whisky has broken the record for the most expensive wine or spirit sold at auction.

    The Macallan 1926 single malt is one of the world's “most sought-after" bottles of Scotch whisky.

    It was sold by Sotheby's on Saturday at more than double its estimated price, for a record £2.1 million (€2.4 million).

  12. A bottle of what Sotheby’s is calling “the most sought-after Scotch whisky” is set to go up for auction next month, with an estimated price of up to €1.3 million.

    The auction house said the 96-year-old bottle of single malt from distiller Macallan - The Macallan Adami 1926 - will come under the hammer in London on 18 November.

  13. For today’s #MouseBar I had 2 drams left over from last year’s single-cask advent calendar: a Glen Moray 13 year, and a GlenAllachie 12 year, both amazing in different ways.

    The Glen Moray was smooth and nutty with a long sweet chocolate finish, and the GlenAllachie was an oloroso fruit bomb with tons of depth.

    So good.

  14. Tonight’s dram is an Inchgower 10 Year from Berry Bros. and Rudd. Wow, delicious! Vanilla and oak, and red fruit, with just a little of spice as it fades on the tongue, with a little bit of a tobacco finish.

  15. UK government's alcohol duty changes spark backlash from pubs and Scotch whisky industry.

    Cuts to beer and cider duty are seen as "naïve" by pubs.
    Scotch whisky industry slams 10.1% duty increase as "hammer blow".
    Fears that it will put whisky beyond the financial reach of consumers and undermine distillers' capacity to invest.

  16. 🧵

    When you open the bottle, the smell of smoke welcomes you. It's a salty welcoming smokey smell.

    I poured it on my glass initially, then waited a couple of minutes for the alcohol to pour. I didn't apply any ice or other elements. Tasted directly.

    Initial tastes: Woah, it's smokey and salty, I like salt and smoke, but I thought the combo would be bad, however...I'm .... loving it ?

  17. My order of the latest Jim McEwan set from #DramFool arrived just in time to enjoy a little on my birthday. Poured myself some of the Octomore. YUM

  18. Always love WhiskyCast’s interviews, but this bit from Scotch Malt Whisky Society’s Pip Hills is an important part of my philosophy. Whisky is for sharing and enjoying.

  19. For #InternationalScotchDay I poured the second-to-last dram of this amazing Càrn Mòr Celebration of the Cask 24-year bottling of a Glen Moray barrel. Unbelievably delicious.

  20. Last summer we attended the weigh-in and party for Big Rock. Super fun, stupid money. Now I’m dreaming of warm summer skies and landing big fish! A bit under the weather, so treating myself with a medicinal Ardbeg Corryvrecken.

  21. #Whiskey, #Scotch, and #Bourbon in Jewish thought <3

    What are whiskeys made from? When are they considered #kosher? (Good news - most whiskey is considered kosher by Modern Orthodox & Conservative rabbis, all Reform rabbis, some Haredi rabbis)
