Brave New Spirits Dailuiane 15, NC, NCF, 55.5%

Loads of spicy dried fruit, raisins, figs, with hints of floral and vanilla. Rich, luxurious mouthfeel, toffee, dark chocolate, and a little sweetness. Long lingering finish of fruit, spice and caramel sweetness.

Co-hosts Canada v Bosnia and Herzegovina tonight, and they are a goal down at the moment. Much better game than the opening one last night, with a referee who looks as though he'll let the game flow.

Canadian and US fan chants are hilarious. 😂

Partly hidden by neighbouring buildings, the superb Oban Distillery stands right in the heart of the town of Oban in Argyll. It was founded on this site by a family of local merchants, the Stevensons, in 1794. #scotch #whisky More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/oban/obandistillery/index.html

I picked these up recently directly from Wild Turkey. A couple of Bruce's Picks ryes.

I suppose with this administration's constant #grifting and skimming and product placement, it was inevitable we would get actual product endorsements.

Jack Daniels has now released the special collectible "Whiskey" Pete Hegseth edition of its famous bourbon. Get one while they last!

Penultimate dram in the calendar was consumed after my annual two-day cooking marathon as guests began to arrive for Christmas Eve. In the bottle was Edradour's Ballechin 18 Batch 1 Cask Strength at 50.9% ABV.

Nice smoky, iodine-y peat and almonds on the nose; citrus, peat, a bit of salt, and maybe some menthol on the palate; with honey and black pepper on the finish. Right up my alley.

1/2

Day 20, and time for the annual defenestration of Hans Gruber to go with my wee dram today. Said dram is Wemyss Malts' Expressions of Gratitude bottling of a 21-year-old Bunnahabhain, a lovely Islay single malt at 46% ABV.

Dried fruits, dates, and a whiff of leather and faint peat on the nose; more of those dried fruits, a bit of cloves, black pepper, and smoke on the palate; a bit of malt and more black pepper in the finish. Very nice.

Another repeat in drawer 19, Yellow Spot 12 Year Old Irish whiskey, which has been in 2 previous calendars. Jibes with my last taste: noseful of apricot and a bit of oak; malt and caramel sweet, dried fruit, winter spices, and almond on the palate; and a black pepper finish. Still on the sweet side for me.

Rain gave way briefly to a tiny bit of color, so I used it.

Been a busy December, translating into a lot of quick photos this year. Nice dram tonight for a blend, Wemyss Malt's "A Quarter Passed", a 25 year old at 53.6% ABV. Lemon, apple, and berries on the nose; lemon, herbs, honey, toffee, cinnamon, and ginger on the palate; nice spicy finish with some faint oak. Tiny bit sweet, but well-rounded and tasty.

Quick photo of day 17's dram, Chivas' Royal Salute 21-year-old blended Scotch whisky at 40% ABV. Honey and oak on the nose; orange, spices, and more oak on the palate; slightly tannic finish with maybe just a hint of smoke. Looking at the bottle cost, not really enough bang for the buck, as it were.

Hades 2 is a fun game, looks stunning and works great with #gptk / #whisky

Apple Silicon is truly a wonder, #GPTK is a marvellous technology and #KenaBridgeofSpirits looks and plays like a great game.

Yes, I'm really bad at it!

But consider this as a #Whisky showcase of what's possible in terms of Windows gaming on a M3 Max, on battery with lots of apps in background...

Game is set to the max resolution possible - 2000 something width - and ultra settings. It stutters sometimes, possibly compiling shaders, so I’ll probably drop the ultra and close Xcode / simulators

Shipping from auction houses in the UK or Europe can be crazy expensive for just one or two bottles, so I tend to leave things in storage until I have enough bottles that the per-bottle shipping cost is reasonable. For whatever reason, this time it took many months at several auction houses until it was worth shipping, so I have an end-of-year bounty. And there is still one more I haven't shipped from.

Compass Box Whisky Whisky De Table 1-3, Optimism, Morpheus, the La Maison du Whisky release of Hedonism Maximus, a signed early release Hedonism, a *first release* Hedonism (I am excited), and Canto Cask 10, 35, & 36. That brings me to six of the 16 Canto Casks.

Ardbeg Smoketrails Côte Rôtie Edition (the second release) and Renaissance (the last missing piece in the Very Young, Still Young, Almost There, Renaissance sequence).

Glenmorangie 30 year Oloroso Cask Finish, The Taghta (a replacement bottle as I volunteered mine for a tasting which almost killed it), SMWS 125.50, and Westport 2006 (Glenmorangie in a clever disguise) from Coastalboy. But the best get was the Cask Masters sample set with fairly full samples of A, B, and C. C is what later became The Taghta. I haven't had A or B since the Cask Masters tastings way back in 2013. I also picked up a few editions of The Glen of Tranquillity.

Lastly some oddball stuff. A North British 40 year old Cask Strength Single Grain. Diplomatico Distillery Collection No 1 Batch Kettle Rum. And Jack Daniel's Winter Jack Tennessee Apple Whiskey Punch, for a special tasting we have coming up. 😉

Asia is taking over the world's whisky market years after Pernod, Diageo and other major whiskey producers tried to get Asian drinkers to spend more on their premium spirits. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2023/09/13/companies/asia-worlds-whisky-market/?utm_content=buffer2e267&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #business #companies #asia #whisky #singapore #china #pernod #diageoplc #chivasbrothers #johnniewalker

I meant to post these two weeks ago and got distracted.

Some recent pickups from Julio's Liquors - a few Loch & K(e)y Rye offerings, I'm a big fan of rye. The Nelson's Green Brier which was a very pleasant dram at a recent Whiskey Wednesday at a very low price, so I picked one up. The Sotol and Nixta were from another WW. While I tend toward whiskey, I do enjoy other spirits and the sotol was worth adding to my lineup. The Nixta is a sweet corn liqueur, something you'd use in a cocktail maybe in place of simple or agave to give it a different flavor. It was interesting enough to pick up to play with.

The others are recent Compass Box web (Duality) and auction (Juveniles and Canto Cask 47) pickups, and the Bimber Duality which I also snagged at auction. Compass Box is my Pokémon. 😅
