Old bottle coming up

A few years back while visiting a friend in Scotland, I asked to do a single malt tasting. Not being much of a drinker I wasn't looking for anything in particular.

We set up our own tasting with maybe a half dozen single malts and had at it. I loved it! The variation in taste was amazing!

 

The trick is to add a few drops of water. They got us trying with and without, and it makes an astonishing difference. The barrel makes a massive impact: sherry or bourbon casks, for example. And then you get into the brew water, be it peaty or heather.

No, it was a regular Macallan, not the eye watering one. I do have a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label.

My Glasgow kin add bloody Coke or ginger ale to it. Heathens.

 

Coke or ginger ale in single malt? I don't even drink Coke (except the Passover sort if I can find a small bottle) and know better than that! Well grade (i.e. on tap in the pub) rum is one thing, but a good whisky?

 

Sold for more than I think I could have got for it on ebay

I'm glad in a way, the lip looks too long and very clean, not sure the iridescence looked right either, its usually more patchy from what I've seen before

Well done. It’s always a good thing to know when to walk away. So easy to get caught up in auction ‘fever’

 

Oooooo I'm too tight for all that Boland !!!

 

14 different single malts I've sampled, lovingly

None of them lives up to Jamesons in my opinion

 

And that's with no coke or ginger ale

 

I have a very nice bottle of scotch called Viking Scars.
I very nice single malt and 10 years old.
Very nice with 1 or 2 ice cubes. No mixers
