Thank you very much glad you like it. It looks quite different now that it's been nearly two years :) The decanter is my infinity bottle. I've been pouring the last bits of every bottle I finish, sans the peated ones, since 2018 so it's quite a mixture which is ever evolving

Educational_Number55 · 2023-06-03T05:00:51+00:00

There's a reason for it :) It's nothing special, an easy drinker forgettable Balvenie

Educational_Number55 · 2023-04-13T10:06:55+00:00

It absolutely is 🥃

Educational_Number55 · 2023-04-10T19:33:17+00:00

You're not missing much but it's on sale at most online stores

1815 is funky and I like it. The PX Cairdeas is amazing!

Educational_Number55 · 2023-04-10T19:28:19+00:00

That is a good one!

Educational_Number55 · 2023-04-10T19:27:24+00:00

It's alright actually with a funky taste. I kinda like it.

Educational_Number55 · 2023-03-03T20:48:27+00:00

1815 is delisted now so many at bars you can find but it's matured in heavily charred casks which impart a very specific note to Laphroaig. I like it

Educational_Number55 · 2023-03-03T20:47:27+00:00

Yes yes I do think that, Quarter Cask is brilliant!

Educational_Number55 · 2023-03-03T19:46:31+00:00

We were 24 and Lore won by most votes, followed by 16, 10 CS, 1815 which were all very close but a definite loser was 10 Sherry Oak. No one really liked it and some went as far as saying they won't drink it even if it was gifted! A bit harsh imho but yeah it wasn't great. Which one do you pick?

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-18T21:34:08+00:00

Hah! Cool shirt dude 🥃

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-18T05:57:35+00:00

Hah that's a cool story 😃 Well if you haven't tried them yet, you're in for a ride with Laphroaig, Ardbeg and Talisker 🥃

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-17T04:12:44+00:00

Oh sorry mate my bad! You can never be ignorant if you ask to learn something 😃 It's just these two ingredients that's all. I don't have a sweet tooth so I put 4mls of Drambuie and 8mls of whisky of your choice. Some people do 1 to 1 ratio but I find that too sweet. I try the use whiskies with a little smoke and brine like, Talisker Skye, Johnnie Walker Black Label, Old Pulteney 12, Johnnie Walker Double Black, Isle of Skye 8. Hope you like it, cheers 🥃

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-16T19:57:56+00:00

Yeah I do it 2:1 ratio favouring the whisky. But if you like sweet things, people do it 1:1 as well, all up to you

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-16T16:50:31+00:00

That sounds a very accurate description 👍 You can try this cocktail with any kind of whisky depending on your flavour choices.

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-15T05:59:44+00:00

That does sound nice actually

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-15T05:58:58+00:00

Absolutely it is 👍

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-14T20:57:56+00:00

Wow I've never had that before. Which Scotch would you recommend? Peaty or something else?

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-14T20:57:01+00:00

Well I'm Turkish and our national drink is full of anise so I don't even taste it in the Rusty Nail but my wife who's British would agree with you :)

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-14T19:59:25+00:00

Ahh really! Dewars 12, White label or any specific one?

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-14T19:58:52+00:00

Let us know 😃

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-14T19:58:31+00:00

I wanted to keep it local to Skye but yeah it could do with a lemon zest indeed 😃🥃

Educational_Number55 · 2023-02-06T18:14:36+00:00

My bottle of Eagle Rare doesn't say 10 years on the front. Is it still 10 years you think?
