I’m going out to a martini bar after work but will probably settle in with a glass of Lagavullin 16 when I get home.

      Mmm I love a “grippy mouthfeel”. I’ve never heard that description before.

      Sounds a bit like that first Kavalan that I had, whatever it was.

        It definitely has a lot of personality. Water (or a few pieces of ice if you’re a savage like me) is a good move with this one.

          Yeah that’s exactly what that bottle needed in hindsight.

          The first time I added some water to my whiskey it was like a cheat code. Some whiskeys are so different with the addition of water it’s like a 2 for 1 deal.

          No shame in adding ice, there are a lot of things I prefer on the rocks.

            No shame in my game - just wanted to show my cards. I’ve met some purists over the years who seem to take icing a whiskey as a personal offense. “You added ice to ____??? What’s wrong with you?” Psh. There may be something wrong with me, but it’s nothing compared to the internal mental cluster---- that leads to being offended by someone else putting ice in their drink.
