Thanks for all the advice - tonight I will fulfill my girlfriend's wish of seeing me epicly drunk. I bought a bottle of Lagavulin 16 and a bottle of Bowmore Dark, along with a bottle of Tres Generaciones. But think I will stick with the Lagavulin for tonight. I will try it neat, on the rocks and with a drop of water - results of this experiment will be posted to my facebook.
Only dissapointing thing so far is I wanted to try the Distillers Cask of the Lagavulin - you would think in a shoppe that boasts over 400 different bottles of scotch, that would be easy, but they are out until Nov 1. Next time I guess, or I can just go to St. Andrews and arrange a flight for tasting Larry On Mon, Oct 17, 2011 at 3:21 PM, LAR <[email protected]> wrote: > Yah, I have bought some really wonderful crafted and unique tequillas > in Mexico and in California - both Aguave and Mescal.
