So Tonight I am on Diplimatico Reserva Exclusiva i think I preferred the less exclusive version of this. It is a bit too liqueur like. ---

The medic came in the office this morning :lou_is_a_flirt: and said Philippine you have your annual Drug and Alcohol test today. He could have let me prepare for it by raiding the Bosses safe, of the bottle of Vodka that is stashed there but no, I passed the test and have to come back next year :lou_angry: ---

Vote up as I feel for youā€¦ but you need enlightenment as that feeling of dread would never happen with a Single Malt advent calendarā€¦ just the joy of discovery. Head over to the Malt thread, you would be welcome as we are needing to recruit - we look like Billy no mates over there ---

Only 6 to go. I donā€™t whether to be sad itā€™s coming to and end or relieved itā€™s almost over. Anyway, in my glass we find a rumbullion navy strength, all 57% of it. i enjoyed the normal rumbullion, and this one has all of the great liqueur flavours but with more alcohol heat. Lots of it. Great stuff, but pushed to choose a bottle to buy, it would have to be the regular version ---

Just opened a Appleton Estate 12 year old rare\* blend. First sip, itā€™s ok but not for the same money as a El Dorado 12 year old. Iā€™m getting a slightly burnt and harsh after taste, that leaves me wondering if it has been mixed with bourbon(doesnā€™t mention bourbon casks, just Oak). Itā€™s confusing me, but not in a way that would make me consider it a good buy. Anyone else tried it? \*nothing rare about it if i can buy it in tesco. ---
