Old Pultenay 17 yr single with a few drops of water from a pipette is a really nice sipper. If you find yourself in a UK airport, it's worth a taste.

Personal favorite is Balvenie 15-18 year...

Had some Laphroaig 15 once, NEVER AGAIN!

Amazing what a few drops of room temp water can do to the flavor in a glass! Try it sometime!

I can make a very passable whiskey with moonshine and charred oak in 72 hours....

I enjoy all of the above, most of the times 12 to 15 years old. By the time they get to 18, they are usually too rich for my taste. Used to be a VERY big fan, now I drink less than a bottle a year. Let's just say I would need 300+ years to get through what was once a year supply.

It's been a long while since I was into fine single malts, and my favourite was always TALISKER from the Isle of Skye..

25 year old (2009 Release), 54.8%,
Comes across initially to me as reserved, perhaps even elegant, for a Talisker. Soothing too, with an oily texture. Quite fruity (orange, tangerine, apricot), perhaps even floral, with a delicate pastry sweetness. Then the more traditional Talisker notes kick in—brine, seaweed, warming pepper. Warming, peppery finish. A high-quality Talisker—albeit a bit reserved at times. I love its oily, viscous texture.....

Things are a bit tight financially lately, but one day I hope to pick up another bottle to sip very slowly, and enjoy what I think is the finest whiskey produced.

I'm sipping on some of my first batch of oat whiskey on ice. Aged 6 months with oak chips in mason jars in the cabinet. :) It's wonderful. I had never tried an oat whiskey before this batch.

I've got a new 16 gallon batch fermenting now. I want to make a bunch of all grain whiskeys this year to learn the different flavors. Oat, corn, wheat, barley, rye.

This is all I have left from the first batch. Looks kinda sad. I need to be more disciplined with future batches. :) Half is for drinking, and half is for aging and drinking at some point in the distant future.
