Today, Auchentoshan 12 and 18 yo and Springbank 15 yo from Campbeltown. Both very good.
Also Lagavulin 16, which was a little too smokey/peaty for me. I need to grow into those Islays.
Auchentoshan 12yr 1992/2005, Signatory Un-Chillfiltered Collection
Lagavulin 12 Year.

after the first glass - went back and got 2 more bottles.
Cognac 12 years old cask strength, 1er Grand Cru, Grande Champagne, Frapin
Opened up a couple I had brought back from Taiwan on my most recent trip back:
Suntory Hakushu 12- a grassy and peaty element that I have NEVER found in a Japanese whiskey- EXCELLENT!
Bruichladdich Octomore- my least favorite of the night
Also drank the following:
Connemara 12- my favorite Irish whiskey
Ardbeg Supernova- one of my top 3 of any whiskey... Just layers and layers and layers and layers of smoke and peat
Charbay Whiskey II- this is a super small production from a Napa distillery- these guys brought their A game. I mean, it is REALLY, REALLY good... A flavor profile that is so sophisticated. Really worth spending the money on if you can track it down.

Just had a bourbon I previously infused with orange peel, spices, and honey. De-lish.
Lagavulin 16, lovely.

Scapa 16, less of the maritime character of the old 14yr bottling or the great G&M bottlings, but fuller, yet still more pungent than its neighbour Highland-Park. Say a kind of maritime Highland Park. Can't understand why this distillery has so little followers.
