penderyn portwood is the bottle on the go at the moment. very very smooth . i might not bother with work tomorrow.
have been saying this for years. the trails are the esters etc and the water ( or ice) releases more of the complexities ( fec i sound like a whisky bore ) of the drinkIf it helps anyone with their whisky journey, it's more than common to add a bit of water. In Scotland they often provide a little tiny jug of it for you - to dilute the stronger abv whiskies has various effects, so experiment next time with just a little H2o, then swish the contents and look at the film of alcohol left behind. You will find certain flavours are brought to the fore, and other flavours lessen.
Now don't collapse when I tell you this but people (scots inc) also use a piece of ice to do the same thing, with the whisky tasting stronger and fuller to start with, then altering as the ice melts.
Currently sipping a glass of Ardbeg Uigeadail. Peaty, Smokey and sweet. A fantastic Islay whisky

Port Ellen is the only one I've not tried from Islay. The Finlaggan is new to me and pretty good. Cheap for cask strength and smooth for a young un.

We had to chuck out our boxes because the sheer number of them was starting to look a bit embarrassing. I'd forgotten about Caol Ila. Hmm...
Thank you. :-)You Sir have STYLE,those are quality.
The boxes are full. :-)
I have about 25 on the shelf as of now and one to pick up today. Like to keep a few in.
They don't go off. It sits in barrels for years after all and they're not as airtight as a bottle.
The swigging stuff like grouse disappears at a rate of knots but the malts can last a month or more.
Find I get through them quicker in winter. Barely touch em in summer.
