Some 8yo GlenAllachie finished in Koval Rye casks. This is a Christmas present and very nice.

We’re sipping Stagg Jr. this evening. Merry Christmas and Cheers!
About to enjoy my first Vieux Carre ever.
Enjoying this stuff:
A marvellous bottling of Moût Muté au Cognac from famed Cognac brokers, Grosperrin.
MMC is a Pineau-like liqueur that combines grape must with Cognac before aging. In each of these bottles, the must and the Cognac are from the same estate, ensuring an accurate sense of terroir in each bottling.
This batch was produced in 1979 from must from the 1979 grape vintage, and Cognac distilled the year before. The liqueur was aged in a small, dirt floor cellar in a single 4000 litre barrel that contained 200 litres of lees, imparting richness and body to the liqueur. The MMC was transferred to very old Cognac casks in Grosperrin’s Chermignac cellars in 2013.
The final result is a deeply flavoured and intense liqueur. This bottling serves up notes of fruity, rich pastry with cinnamon and nutmeg, alongside dried fruit, refreshing acidity, some flinty minerality, rancio and beeswax. A lower sugar content makes this MMC a sharper affair than the other two bottlings in this range.
A remarkable product, topped off with an artistic and striking label.

Stuffed from Xmas dinner. Wife and I have split a bottle of Martinelli's, and I'm just belching up a storm. Listening to wintery music and enjoying the snow (although wishing very much I could have a bowl of Aperitif right now!). Hope you all have had a blessed celebration today! ?
Merry Christmas just became Feliz Navidad in a big way:
Tried some Hine Brandy over Christmas.
I’m having a dram of Noah’s Mill this evening. Cheers!
Judge? I want to hang out.
You like PBR and pipes. We should be friends. You are my brother of the briar, my people, my tribe.
PBR is one of my favorite macro beers. Nothing to be ashamed of. Embrace it. Drink it. Enjoy it.

When I was growing up, all my dad drank was PBR. It's what I learned to drink. In the homebrewing community, macro beers are frowned upon. I respect the consistency. It's not easy to brew repeatedly.
Tonight, a gifted pint of makers, which was a stocking stuffer. I figured drink this then tap open the new bottle of old scout.
Sam Houston 14 year old. Posted this earlier in the WAYS thread. Cheers!
Difficult choices but not for me. Pappy's all the way.
A Midwinter Nights Dram. This will hold me until the champagne toast at midnight. Happy New Year all! Cheers!
Happy New Year to you too, Tar Wheel........... you always have some mighty fine pours! Cheers!!
Having The Glenturret 27 Year Highland Single Malt. Interesting in that it has peach notes.
Thank you, beefeater33.

Cheers, Brother!
