    A finger or so of Lagavulin tonight and some Cragganmore with an Ashton now.

    Lagavulin... so delicious. Cragganmore, different, but still delicious. Besides way less peaty, more floral. Goes good with the cigar.

    Lagavulin is easily one of my favorites. I had the Double Matured Distiller's Edition recently. It's definitely a nice whisky but I prefer the regular 16yr. Not enough of a difference to justify the couple extra dollars and I think the extra wood (heh) just covers up the smoky peat which is what I love about Lagavulin.

    I had some Shieldaig Speyside Single Malt 18Yr yesterday. Wow, I was surprised how good this was considering it's less than $44.00 at your nearest Total Wine and More. Even though I'm generally an Islay drinker, I'll try a Speyside every now and then. This one was complex, very smooth and just as good if not better than a lot of single malts I've paid three figures for.

    Looks like you can get it at Trader Joe's in some locations too.

    Had a chance to try JW Blue tonight. Holy moly, that was terrific. I have been skeptical of blended whiskys, but this blew my mind. It was great.

    I did some camping/hiking in Olympic National Park last week. This was part of the accompaniment.

    Killed this tonight. No cigar unfortunately. Nice dram but isn't peaty strong like the textbook might suggest. Perhaps the balancing that occurs over the next 6 years is beneficial after all.
