World Whisky Day

One of the Men of Malt sent these photos from London, just in time for World Whisky Day

I found myself humming, “Oh, if I were a rich man…”

If only…

Now, what shall I have later this evening to celebrate World Whisky Day?

Last night, in the 85 degree heat, it was Bank Note blended Scotch whisky and soda. Actually, it was plain seltzer which has no added mineralization. Since most club soda in the USA is now made with potassium rather than sodium, it does not taste nearly as good for whisky and soda, to my palate anyway.

But tonight? After the weather changed to chilly and wet? Hmmm. Recently arrived acquisitions worthy of a World Whisky Day celebration include:

Longrow Peated (no age statement)

Glenfarclas 12 (not yet opened)

1998 Ben Nevis 15 Year Old Fresh Sherry Butt #596 Cask Strength (K & L Wines Exclusive)

Ardbeg home blending of 10 yo, Corryvreken, and Uuigeadail (Thanks Tony!)

Springbank 12 Cask Strength

Mortlach 18 (so really, really very good compared to the Mortlach Old and Rare, but still really, really overpriced.)

Or I may finally open my last bottle Mortlach 16 yo Flora and Fauna, which may just be my all-time favorite whisky, as if there could be only one.

Choices, choices
