A couple of years ago (make that more than a decade… deepsigh), a friend had a limited Aardbeg, probably from the Signatory series, which was mellowed by a Port cask. Heaven.
I started drinking whisky with Talisker. I made my way through Laphroaig and Lagavulin to Aardbeg and back - nowadays, I prefer the only slightly peaty ones. Sauternes and Port casks, sometimes a Oloroso cask.
However, I have neither the time nor the liver to really enjoy whisky often. I can’t even remember if I had more than a dram in 2018. Would have to check the Whisk(e)y topic to look for my last post, I think.
Thanks to @beschizza, I am tempted to have one dram tonight, to get this sucker of a year out of my system.
