Of course I do – Barolo and Amarone, and Rioja get a look in as well! :)

Sassicaia also needs to some day soon, perhaps as a special one for your 70th! ;)

Next time you slurp a Rioja or Italian jobbie, fire a pic up :)

Marco.

This stuff is good. I thought it looked good but refrained from trying it for ages. The others in the range from Brew Dog are worth a try too.

Best enjoyed in 660ml glass bottles, some tunes, and a free morning to get over it:D

In Sainsbugs and Waitrose at least.

Needing to top up the stocks of malt, after Christmas, so this chap has been drifted into action in the drinks cabinet:

Nothing too outrageous, just a quality, smooth-tasting very dependable dram! :thumbsup:

Marco.

Outrageous enough...its nice stuff.

It sure is! Nice contrast to The Balvenie 21 year-old Port Wood. Just as smooth, not quite as rich, but rather 'creamy' and warming all the same - love it :)

Marco.

port wood is great, but i cant drink muck of it. a bit rich. that 16 is very good, or was last time i tried it. TBH I dont partake much these days, which is good for me health and my bank balance :D boring tho

Lagavulin is one of my favourite tipples.
