What are you drinking tonight?

Enjoying a glass of Booker's on a rainy night here in Chicagoland.

See some peat guys posting - while I tend to stick to peaty Scotch in the autumn and winter, glad to see there's some on here!

I'm a Lagavulin 16 guy. But for me it's a fall and winter drink. For summer I'm sticking with rum, vodka and gin. That's actually only two drinks. I drink my rum dark and neat or with one rock. El Dorado 15. And the gin and vodka is mixed in 3 parts gin, 1 part vodka, 1/2 part Lillet Blanc and a twist served up, chilled, shaken, not stirred. And only Ketel One and Bombay Sapphire.

I'm partial to Laphroaig myself but also enjoy Laga. I discovered the hogo funk of Jamaican rum 3 or so years ago and love a good Hampden rum in the summer. Plantation OFTD and Smith & Cross are two that I reach for to drink both neat and in tiki drinks.
 
Now I love a good bourbon and I have tried quite a few but today I stumbled upon quite an intriguing one in the pages of Whisky Advocate. It’s called Blood Oath and it is a limited edition release. This one is “Pact 6” and it’s details can be found here Home - Blood Oath Bourbon dates back to 2015 when they released their first “Pact”

“A masterful union of well-bred bourbons-each on its own a ryed to be remembered. One, a 14-year-- dark with oak, leather and tobacco. Two, and 8-year—toasty warm with cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. And three, a 7-year—full of roasted caramel and honeyed raisin, then rested and mellowed in Cognac casks for a finish that’s all Kentucky heat with a wisp of crème brulee sweet. A votre santé.”...

Cadre has anyone tried one of these? @BarberDave ?
