The **Now Drinking** Thread

There must be a blue moon out because I fancied a Mizuwari but I don't have any whiskey that I'm willing to sacrifice. I've ended up going with half a measure of Antica Formula Carpano and a measure of Remy Marin VSOP over ice, topped up with Schwepps ginger ale... all in all, meh.

[EDIT] THe more I drink of it, the better it tastes. Still not a Manhattan though.

Having a glass of the Auchentoshan Silveroak I bought in Heathrow yesterday.

It's a very tasty 21yo that's been partly matured in sherry casks. It's pretty smooth (although it's bottled at 51.5% ABV so needs a touch of water) and pretty much as described on the label actually "Toffee and rich fruitcake". Very nice indeed.

Bought a bottle of 21yo Glengoyne as well so will be giving that a taste later. It's also partly matured in sherry casks. looking forward to that as well :D

I love 'em :D I've had some cracking travel only whiskies over my years of traveling.

The Glengoyne isn't a travel only - although it was quite a bit cheaper from the airport. Whisky Exchange has it at £82.49 while I got it for £70 at heathrow.

It's a decent whisky. Sherry and oak with a touch of spiciness. Slightly sweeter than the Auchentoshan.

Both good whiskies and worth the money (Auchentoshan was £80). I slightly prefer the Auchentoshan but there's not much in it.

All in all, pretty pleased with my choices :)
