#1: A Wee Dram Author: Vince, Location: Brisbane AUSTRALIA

Sitting here thinking about life in general and thought...a wee dram would go down well. My Mother in Law gave me a crock of Grant's scotch that was given to my Father in Law about 15 years ago when he retired (he was a non-drinker).

OK, my Mum is visiting from Sydney so I reckon it is time to uncork it and have a taste. Not sure how old it was when bottled, but I can tell you, it is most pleasant now...so much so I just might have to have a couple. Very Happy

Cheers, Vince

Okay I wouldn't let a m8 drink alone so I just had to grab some Six Island "neat" of course.

FYI the empty decanters sell for $40 & up on Ebay - just about enough for another bottle of Scotch. Very Happy

I see they are from Glenfiddich and Balvenie, If it is the deluxe version of those it must be divine as either of the aforementioned are always welcome.

It is a blended whisky FN...but that just means it has the best of both worlds mate...although I must admit I am rather fond of a good single malt whisky.

Cheers, Vince

Yes mate...a couple of small ice cubes...but I did try it before polluting it. Very Happy

Tullamore Dew is a nice drop, as is Jamesons.

Cheers, Vince

Don't stress Lester old mate....NEVER, under any circumstances, regardless will I put ice in a fine single malt whisky...that would be sacrilege of the highest order.

More often than not I find that a blended whisky lends itself well to a couple of small pieces of ice.

Cheers, Vince

Not stressed about your icing a blended, just jealous that you got to drink it and not me, so I had to poke at ya a bit.

Once upon a time many years ago God smiled upon me and directed me to buy a very expensive bottle of single malt while I was in Northern Ireland. Took me many years to finish the bottle and on a good day I can still recall rich smoky flavor of peat and the hint of what I think was chocolate and tobacco.

Cheers

Good one vince.
The brother in law pulled out the Johnnie Walker BLUE at Xmas.
Very nice, just dont drink anything else after it, made a 21 yr old glenfiddich single malt taste like metho.
Mental note to self, 1 whisky type a session.......

JW Blue....I know it is good mate...but I tell ya, it would wanna be to overshadow an OLD Glenfiddich.

I think the Johnnie Walker BLUE is still a blended whisky, but it is blended from extremely old whiskies. Never been luck enough to try it though...maybe one day.

Cheers, Vince
