Well....two months later and I'm getting this posted. Can I fire myself from this? No. Everyone else would be doing the firing. I'll keep doing it. So here's what I tasted:

*Glenfiddich 12 yr 40% ABV
-See tasting notes from 8/9/2014 for notes.

*Balvenie 12yr Doublewood 43% ABV
     -smelled sweet pastry with caramel and cinnamon bun, grape juice/plum wine
     -tasted peppery candy 
     -with water smelled cake icing, sweet fruit like plums
     -tasted raisin bread, dough that went to peppery oak
     -trailed slight oak but not bitter
     Excellent with or without water! I know I have posted notes about this before but was not able to find them. So I was forced to roll up my sleeves, pour a dram and taste it again. Oh the sacrifices for the club......

Aly and I saw this at Total Wine and just had to have it. How can you go wrong with Glenmorangie? (unless you're talking about Milsean)

     Water ruins the taste but opens this way up!

     Rebecca and Drew were once again gracious enough to open their home and host the Burns Night with all the lewdness and jokes that go along. We did taste some whisky. We did read some poetry. We did all that three months ago. What have I been doing? Sorry for the delay.
