Living Souls Ninety-Nine & One is a remarkable blended Scotch whisky that was the result of an unusual production error. The plan was to bottle an 18-year-old Ledaig single malt, matured in ex-bourbon and sherry casks. However, a cask of 3-year-old grain whisky was accidentally added, resulting in a ratio of 99% single malt to 1% grain whisky.

Calm but bold smoke and sweet malty, vanilla and briny flavor with sweet pear lingering.

This peaty boy is a real treat from the Isle of Mull. A 20 year from 97 to 17. A nice warm peat that’s reminiscent of walking into a cabin with a wood stove - but the stove isn’t burning. Wonderful. Thanks Tobermory!

If you're passing through Eugene, OR - stop in at @thebarnlight and check out their Break Even Bottle - a one ounce pour at cost. It's an awesome opportunity to try something rare, expensive, or unique. Maybe it's all three! Today it's Ledaig 18, a sherried peat bomb scotch. It's rich, spicy, smokey, fruity, down right delicious. Thanks to Katie for lovely service! . . . #ledaig #ledaig18 #sherry #peat #isleofmull #tobermory #thebarnlight #breakevenbottle #pnw #beaversinduckcountry #aquavitae #uiscebeatha #uisgebeatha #singlemalt #scotch #whisky #whiskey #whiskyaesthetic #womenwhowhiskey @tobermorydistillery (at The Barn Light) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzER3EpH7PC/?igshid=35rxdzvaifsy

The wind brushed across his face, coming off the ocean in gusty bursts, helping the night chase away the heat of the day. His ship, the Aranui, floated serenely just offshore, waiting for the next voyage. But that wouldn't come tonight. Tonight he was to meet someone important, or so he'd been told. He stood on the beach, looking out over the sea. Never in his years would he get tired of watching the waves, the smell of the salt in the air, the feel of the spray against his skin. So many years he'd grown in the swamps and bayous. He knew his way around the water. But nothing had prepared him for the siren song that was the sea. Footsteps sounded behind him, faint on the sand from experienced feet that knew how to be quiet. He would have missed them if he hadn't been waiting for a visitor. He turned to ask what his humble services could provide and the words died in his throat. Partly because he glimpsed the most beautiful creature he'd ever laid eyes on. And partly because she immediately punched him in the chest, dropping him to the sand with a surprised WHUF! ------- I promise not all of my NPCs are drow. I just think dark elves are super neat and so I've been drawing a lot of them lately . . . And so I end up with a lot of them as potential NPCs. And also my gargoyle NPC designs are being uncooperative at the moment. Ledaig (not pronounced the way it should be because I can never remember to say "ch" instead of "d") is a drow from Manaroa, the tropical continent of my homebrew world, an arcane trickster who uses his talents to be a very effective pirate. And he was quite happy to continue this way until he happened to pirate a very important cargo to a particular drow assassin . . .
