Whisky Collecting

[LaphroaigQCFan]

A couple drops of water is typical. I usually do that or just neat. Unfortunately, I didn't fathom a bartender at an Irish restaurant would serve a single malt in a glass packed with ice cubes.

Wild Turkey 101 isn't bad. Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve are solid choices. Speaking of pretty bottles, I do hold onto the Kentucky Derby editions of the Woodford bottles. Get one a year. But yes, most whisky bottles aren't anything special. It's the 'water of life' inside that counts.

I had the 18 year Jameson once. That was just....wow. Kinda buttery or oily texture. The taste just lingers on your tongue forever. (at least when I had it)


Oban 14 is another solid one.
Ardbeg 10 is good, but the price is up due to there being a gap in production for a number of years.
Glenmorangie is always great. (went particularly well with my first Cuban cigar).

Aberlour A'bunadh is on my list of things I need to try.

Do you have a bar in Houston I don't know about?

That's an impressive size for a personal collection.

I've been "collecting" for about 11 years. I can only drink so much at a time or damage my liver, otherwise.
