In pursuit of the best WHISKEY......

I now have a weekly tradition to buy whiskey on Thursday nights. Here is the latest purchases.

Macallan 12 - While I already have some of this, I had to pick it up because it was on sale for $33/bottle. That is a steal!

Glenfiddich 18 - I love Glenfiddich 12, so I thought I would try my first 18 yr old in this line.

Speyside scotches are still my fav, but I have not tried from all regions. The next bottle I'm going crack open is my Laphroaig so that I can have my first Island whisky.

I am heading back into the realms of whisky availability.

In Aktau this afternoon - it was a five hour near death experience of a drive to get here.

Next stop Baku in Azerbaijan - then Heathrow - I will send pictures of whisky drinking from there if I can.

And finally to Miami.

Have a safe trip, Andy! I'll be tipping back a dram or two for ya this evening.

Picked up a bonus bottle today. I went to get my haircut and there's a liquor store right next to Cost Cutters. That ended up being a $70 Haircut. I'm told this is good Lowland single malt. I've yet to try something from the Lowlands.

So tonight is my clean-up night where I'm trying to finish off a bunch of bottles that are low. I started with some Tullamore Dew early this afternoon. Just a little. My wife drank most of it because she hurt her finger and proceeded to pound the rest of my glass to aleviate the pain.

Next, I had a little Jack while working in the garage. This, of course, came out of my garage stock.

Since then, I've been sipping my bottle of JD Single Barrel. I just poured the last glass (don't worry, there is an unopened bottle in the back room).

After this, if I'm still standing, I will break into a bottle of Lafroaig which I've been waiting to try for a while now.

Life is good. I'm relaxing in the garage with a cigar and some fine whisky. I deserve it because I just spent the last 8 hours painting around and filling gaps by the base boards, filling nail holes with putty, and doing general touch up painting.

But now I can say......My new addition/garage are DONE!

Monday night's tradition is to buy whisky in Texas. Just had some of this tonight. Not bad! At first it seems very simple, but it's really more complex when you pay attention to it. This the best of the northern Highland scotches I've had thus far.
