Some other worthy non-peated islay / lowlands drams to try:

Auchentoshan18 - “like a bourbon, mocha, leather, a hundred other things — and a long, smooth finish“
Bruichladdich - “briny, hints of tropical fruit and butterscotch”
Glengoyne - “like pure distilled honey — soft, creamy, harmonious.”

Whiskey sour with Woodford Reserve, homemade simple syrup, lemon juice, and egg white.

Had it mostly drunk before I thought to take a pic of my watch, so here it is separate.

Really enjoying this Irish Whisky - was the star of my advent calendar this year, so I had to buy a bottle.

Merry Christmas to those celebrating!

Wife gifted me this quartet of 200mls. Never had anything other than Black, so looking forward to a little tasting later on tonight. [emoji39]

Yes, it imparts a very unique nose and finish. I am crazy surprised by how much I like it.

I too got gifted some booze. There is also an unpictured bottle of Blantons and a sixer of various craft brews, but these were the standouts.
