I’ve been hanging onto this wee dram for years - not easy to replace as this classic 16 yro Islay smokey dram is hard to come by But all good things The reward thick rich massive sherry and one of the smokiest noses out of this region The palate was equally rewarding with mouthfuls of dry huge sherry peat and oak with a wonderful sweetness And the finish, oh the finish……. Long spicy sweet rich and Smokey that just lingers and lingers Now I know why I save this last drop! ##whisky #whiskey #laphroaig #islay #islaywhisky #islaysinglemalt #peat #smoke #tonightstipple #scottish https://www.instagram.com/p/CcJVB6QvwGH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Indian Summers and Whisky 🥃 This Amarut cask strength is right now my most favorite weé tipple It has massive taste 👅 onslaught that does not disappoint. It’s sweet on the nose (if you can leave it sitting in the glass for an hour it gets even better) with banana On the palate it’s banana crunchies and enough vanilla honey 🍯 to satisfy Pooh bear The palate is a little fiery with the +61% but you can smooth it with a drop or too of water. It’s decadent rich and best sipped slowly to savory nuts and raisins over the honey and vanilla. The glorious bourbon and sherry notes are rich and lingering And the finish is long elegant and deeply satisfying There’s something about the heat of Indian 🇮🇳 summers that must intensify the flavors to create this masterpiece Now the question is how do I make it last or find another bottle #tonightstipple #whisky #whiskey #indian #whiskylover #whiskytasting https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEzhuGpAkD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Opening a new bottle is always exciting and I definitely felt footloose and fancy free with this delightful fizz bomb 💣 Packed with apples 🍎 lemons 🍋 and mint Packed with lemon and rhubarb and spiced honey 🍯 Short sprightly finish with lemon sherbet dippers hanging off my tongue 👅 This one won’t last long me thinks #tonightstipple #whisky #whiskey #smws https://www.instagram.com/p/CZiQnosJWq6/?utm_medium=tumblr

It was as warm as a welcoming hug 🤗 and especially nice on these winter evenings but sadly #tonightstipple of #whisky was #lastdrop It was rich dark chocolate and fig jam that is rich, thick coffee, and cocoa with prominent cherry notes and delightful long finish Farewell fine friend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿#whiskey https://www.instagram.com/p/CZdWseirPMj/?utm_medium=tumblr

Well this delightful 28yro gem is a delight especially as a Cask Strength (but not following this 2002 advice of mixing 1 part whisky to 2 parts water… In fact neat is my preference Fruity wispy perfume of vanilla that has a slight peaty spicy apple on the palate and a medium finish with oak cream and walnuts #whisky #whiskylover #tonightstipple #2021 #newyear https://www.instagram.com/p/CYIJIQSJUWQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
