Voltron Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 Arnold Palmer. I hope that's your code name for a 50-50 mixture of bourbon and lemonade.

mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 ah man.. Shelly has put me on the spot... was about to start my whisky evening... but I was going to have all Peated... but as you might have guessed I like Macallan.. oh well....
shellylh Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Sorry to mess things up. Wish I had some better Macallan to toast but the 12 will have to do. Cheers!
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Sorry to mess things up. Wish I had some better Macallan to toast but the 12 will have to do. Cheers! big fan anyway.. I think I have about 12L of the stuff around here... but I got to go peat... Cheers
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Light but hot young peat --> Caol Ila 13yo 1991 ( 58.7%, Andreas Jacobs, Edition 1 2004 ) And yep - there is beverage in the glass
luvdunhill Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Campari-Cocchi Torino-Gale Force Negroni Man, this is good.
shellylh Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 The peat begins... That does sound good Marc. I need to pick up a bottle of Cocci Torino this weekend.
luvdunhill Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 The peat begins... That does sound good Marc. I need to pick up a bottle of Cocci Torino this weekend. It's a strong vermouth, like Carpano. I think in fact it's better though.
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Time to mellow the peat in some sherry: --> Caol Ila 14yo 1993 (46%, Murray McDavid, 1993-07, sherry)
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Bowmore death match... 15yo edition... --> Bowmore 15yo 1988 ( 46%, Douglas Laing, Provenance, single cask 1073 in box 88-03 ) --> Bowmore 15yo 1989 ( 50%, Douglas Laing, OMC, in box 276 bottles 2.89-3.04 cask ref 905 )
Voltron Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) It's a strong vermouth, like Carpano. I think in fact it's better though. I like it much better and it isn't in 1 liter bottles either. Wow, wish I wasn't working on learning about a new case so I could drive over to Mikey's and join the Peat Fest.

mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Clear winner --- 89 Old Malt Cask (OMC) -- a touch of sherry and 50% made all the difference...
The Monkey Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Disppointingly, my Arnold Palmer was a virgin.
emelius Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter...one of the better brews they do, but not amazing... Rogue XS Old Crustacean 2008...not bad:)...impressive bottle...it's like weightlifting...
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 Death Match two for Bows: --> Bowmore 22yo (43%, Original Bottling, "Moonlight" ceramic bottle in box) --> Bowmore 25yo (43%, Original Bottling, Ceramic bottle (Moonlight))
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 well the 22 had some small issues (maybe open a touch too long) ... 25 is winner...
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 kicking up the Peat notch to 11... --> Ardbeg Uigeadail 54.2% (bottle code - L8 254) -- bottle killed... --> Ardbeg 1990 46% Airigh Nam Beist (bottle code - L7 326).
mikeymad Posted September 2, 2011 Report Posted September 2, 2011 hurray for 25! Agreed - and hurray for me..
