Beverages and Blades - Traditional of Course

Jeremy, Laphroaig 18 is the best Scotch I've had, but unfortunately that expression isn't available here in the States any more. Uigeadail is a powerhouse and Lag 16 is the best balanced. Right now I have a bottle of Jura 10 which is a delightful dram for little $$.

Thanks for the reply Jeff. I never had the pleasure of trying to 18 though I do love the quarter cask. Ever had the Laphroaig Select? Price point is between the 10 and the QC - also on my list eventually.

Jura and Springbank are two Islay-like distilleries that I haven’t tried yet - the latter harder to find around me. I’ll have to get some Jura 10 on my next run!

Whenever I have a little bit of spending money accumulated I’m always battling internally between Scotch and a new knife…

Right now I’m enjoying a dram of my budget-blend of choice… the monkeys.

Thanks for the pointers, awesome awesome stories! Loved 2718 too! Thanks for sharing (then and now). Did she ever make a ball?

If only I could get my wife to drink a glass of wine every week... I'd live five years longer, I'm sure of it.

My absolute favorite coffee cup. Seamless, lip-less, double-walled stainless steel. Daily use for about 20 years.

No sir she did not! He's out of the military now but we see him often as he moved back to here and found a suitable job and has a nice place just a few miles away. Yeah that 2718 is a cool one too. I just mentioned that story to my son Logan a couple months back. He says yeah it pretty much happened that way but I think Tom was exaggerating some, He says it was only 85-87 head something like that. peanutsxx

Logan: what an awesome dude! Too bad about the ball but probably not a huge miss other than to say "yeah, been there". You have a fine family, immediate and extended!
