I think since today is somewhat of a significant day on the calendar, that I will partake of the Rare Cask by The Macallan as a treat for myself.
I'm enjoying a generous dram of The Macallan Edition No. 4 tonight, after an especially nasty encounter with someone at work today.
I usually end up wide awake like an owl until way past afternoon the next day. Drinking rarely has a sedative effect on me. Quite the opposite.
Do enjoy.
Relaxing after a nasty encounter at work with something civilised is one of life's pleasures.
I hope you stabled him/her with your Swingline!
If only. However, it was a good thing that it was all on the phone and not in person.
Went to the store earlier today and got myself a bottle of Jura 12 Year Old Single Malt because a friend recommended it to me some time back so I thought I should try it. Not that there needs to be a particular reason to buy a bottle of scotch every now and again. Anyway, the second I get home from the store I get called in to work, so while I'm currently at work the poor bottle is sitting unopened at home in the dark, all by his lonesome.
Are you guys familiar with it, is it any good?

Yes - a good Island single malt whisky. The Jura has recently been re-launched. They used to (still do?) mature it in ex bourbon casks and then finish it off in sherry casks. Nice dram. Mind you I like all whisky, some are better than others though,

Yes, we've been getting acquainted today, and I'm liking it quite a bit. Then again, like you, I haven't come across that many whiskys (whiskies?) that I don't like!
Let us know how you liked it. You’ve clearly got quite the collection!Giving this a shot.
It’s actually very good. It obviously has more character than maker’s or even 46. I heard that each batch is customizable with a combination of 5 different staves added to the finish resulting in 1001 possible combinations. This one has the right balance of sweet and caramel along with woodiness and smoke. Also, barrel proof makes a huge difference as usual for me. Highly recommended for the price.
I have not tried this. Can you describe?Bruichladdich Black art 5 is nice just got a bottle at Christmas. I have so many that I have lost count and interest in many at this point
Picked these up today. Taylor was on sale for $40. Woodford Oat is supposed to be in high demand. The 1792 full proof is a barrel select. And the owner gave me a Blanton’s display stand as a gift.
