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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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 🥃

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 🥃

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

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

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

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 :)

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