^^ Right now, I would say both -- watched a lot of their live stuff over the last week and it confuses me - so I have to minimize browser and just listen. Now, GoGo Penguin... I cannot turn away from these guys... putting out killer jazz..

Mallard Reaction.. ??

cheers Dusty... have a sample on me... :} happy birthday.

Wolf Alice just a little quieter..

Aye - now that you say it that I can see the 10(.71?) flash up on the first run. I know that getting under 10s a lot more safety kicks in. have fun.

Still, that hooks pretty hard - just a touch of slip - will be fun on full slicks. I cannot see the numbers on the board - you running 8s (high 7s)?

Cheers Peter - Happy Birthday (wherever you are in the world)... (Happy Shooting)

This ... ^^ "Is there a must-try non-Islay single malt I am missing out on?" - Yup - but I would rather see you explore more of what you like. It kind of sounds like you are into peat - lots to play with on Islay (and off) There are the blends - Peat Monster and Big Peat, etc. And the Non-Islays - all can be good. Longrow - Peated version of Springbank Legaig - Peated version of Tobermory BenRiach - has Peated (and good) expressions Jura - some Peated expressions "I must confess I'd rather drink a good cask-strength bourbon over Blue..." - so would I in most cases.

Dedication to his craft!! x9GLR3o.mp4

"what's the feeling" - I have no feelings.. I only have any issues with when you get down to the 40% whiskies - adding water technically makes it not whisky anymore (under proof). But --- !! for sampling and critical tasting, it can have merit (drops of water that is). There are many esters in scotch (esters=yummy bits) - some of them are alcohol soluble (yay) and others are water soluble (meh), so adding a few drops of water can release those esters without changing the base characteristics of the whisky in hand (I have had plenty of scotch over 60% (120 proof)) , if water has been previously added (i.e. bottle strength releases - 43, 46, 50% abv) then those esters are already out of the bag (bag = cast strength whisky). So adding water does not gain those benefits, but in some cases it can make it more palatable. But there are may cases were adding any water makes things horrible (case of a 15yo Bowmore from OMC at 50% - any drop of water made it taste of ash, and the more water you added, the worse it got, solution=drink it straight from the bottle ). ..have fun with the Laga 16...

worthy album - sorry to hear it was pushed so hot.

no fair with a Rebecca vid
