What distilled beverage are you drinking?

One night last week in Vegas, My buds and I were drinking outside one of the older downtown bars, outside of the Fremont area. I went inside to use the mens room, and when I came out, my friend had bought me a Woodford Reserve Manhattan that came in a lowball glass about the size of a softball.

My other buddy had bought me a sizeable stash of Makers Mark in Phoenix, which he drove to LV. I then shipped it home, saving a very substantial amount.

Gordon & macphail reserve rosebank distillery 16 year 1991 cask strength. Outside of lagavulin, rosebank has always been my favorite. Have bought up every bottle I come across.

Catch everything you possibly can, TPEwinedrinker. I'll never understand why they closed the best of the Lowland distilleries. Luckily there are stocks remaining, recently they even released an official 25y bottling. I prefer the younger versions though. Look out for the Rosebank "Flora & Fauna" series.

Writing those lines while enjoying a Balvenie 21 Port Wood.

Thanks for the tip on the "Flora & Fauna." Tonight, I think I will go for suntory 17yr hibiki. Not the biggest sherry cask fan, but suntory's hibiki does it better than anyone else in my humble opinion.

Angostura "1824" 12 year old rum from Trinidad, a gift from my brother.

My rum collection is now at 84 different selections.

I thought I'd try once more. Has anyone had any experience with any of the French single malt whiskies? We'll be visiting a distillery in the Champagne region and I have no idea what to expect.

I think I'd expect about the same as looking for wine made in Scotland! Seriously, I've never even heard of French Single Malt. Given the French expertise in Armenac and Cognac it's obvious they know how to distill spirits, but given the absolute dearth of information on it I'm not liking your chances. Do let us know how it works out. If you survive....

One day soon. We were very close a few months back, but just couldn't swing it. Don't know about the rum and cigars, but we'll raise a glass with you and Meg soon. Cheers!

Brora 20 Cask Strength, rare malts selection

Question to the rum specialists around here. Have been offered a
Ron Zacapa Solera Gran Reserva 23, from Guatemala
any thoughts?

exactly...I was adding to your "not on subject" and currently enjoying another one; nothing to do with your Havana Club 7.
