Maker's Mark, tonight! Kentucky bourbon all the way... Oh, yeah.

In front of a small crackling fire I imbibed a neat dram of Edradour followed by a dram or two of Jura Prophesy on the rocks while reading "Gold for Prince Charlie" by Nigel Tranter. I'm feeling pretty mellow now as I make my way to Saturday-Sunday slumber.

12 yr old Glen Moray. Nice, very nice indeed. Sweet speyside bouquet.

I've not had that. I'll have to check and see if it is available in our ABC store.

Glen Moray is very mellow isn't it? Here's Glen Moray on the rocks - literally - put the rocks in the freezer and no diluting the uisge (whiskey in Gaelic).

Stopped in at a very nice Irish pub last night and enjoyed a dram of Michael Collins 10 Year Old Single Malt Irish Whiskey. Very palatable, and I quite enjoyed it. One reviewer (not I) describes it this way.

"Medium amber color. Honey, toasted grain, hay, iodine, and citrus marmalade aromas. A silky entry leads to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body of honeyed nuts and grains, dried apples and citrus, praline, and peppery spice flavors. Finishes with a long, refreshing, off-dry, spicy bread dough finish. Nice style and balance of flavors."

A very pleasant surprise... SCAPA 16yo. I came across the bottle in my local wine and spirits shop. I have never seen it before nor have I seen it since (those familiar with the State Stores in PA you know what I am talking about) It is from the Orkney's which intrigued me. It has a very refined flavor but definitely needs a wee splash of water to make the more subtle flavors pop.

I will second that Michael Collins recommendation. Two other very nice Irish I can recommend are the single malts from Clontarf and Knappogue Castle. Peat free and light by comparison to some of the Scotch but still luscious all the same. Distinctly different from the typically available Bushmills and Jamesons blends.

More Famous Grouse. I've wondered about the new NC offerings in the market, especially the legal moonshine. Maybe someday I'll try it. May be getting the ex-boss some malt.
