November 20 2021 A bottle my son gave me for my birthday several years ago, and now down to about half a bottle. An ounce & a half at room temperature in a Glencairn glass, big flavor, big burn in the throat, so an hour or so later, having no squeeze dropper or pipette, I add a very small drizzle of tap water, and in the mystical lingo of whiskey tasters, it “opens up” the precious dram. Shazzam! Well, yeh, it really does help get it down without the distraction of the burn. Oh, yeh! Great stuff, though I’m not doing side by each comparisons here. I do have a liking for cask strength whiskies, but I’m not gonna pretend this’s my ultimate whiskey. That’d be a peated scotch, say Lagavulin 16, or one of the Bruichladdich Octomore series.
