What dram is in your quaich?

[DyerStraits]

I took the last dram from my Quinta Ruban last night and what a joy it will be to buy another bottle to have and to share for Christmas

I also very much enjoyed the Quinta Ruban, which was part of a generously sized yet surprisingly inexpensive four bottle taster set I recently finished with three 12 year old barrel-finished Glenmorangies, as well as the original Glenmorangie, which frankly still does not impress me much.

I am also very delighted with Talisker Storm--my first encounter ever with any Talisker, and although I surely will follow Jock Scot's advice to try the the more intense Talisker 57 North, the Storm is destined to become one of my regulars--as much brine, vanilla, fruits and even smoke (but less of the pronounced phenols that some find disagreeable) as my favorite Islay Malts but also a healthy dose of warm, peppery spices. Uniquely wonderful stuff. THANKS JOCK!
