What are you drinking tonight?

Giving Bulliett’s premixed Old Fashioned a try. Two thumbs up from me! Pretty smooth and well flavored with bitters, a bit on the sweet side, which is good by me!

This was highly rated by whisky.com (they continue to spell it incorrectly so obviously their opinion should be taken with a grain of salt) - but this was in their top whiskies of 2022.

Seems strange to me. I assume that’s a blended scotch since it doesn’t say where it’s from. Most peated stuff used in blends is Caol Ila. I like some of their single barrel stuff, but it’s doesn’t have the most character.

I’ll have to go back and watch the video to see if they mentioned where it was made (or who is the source….

While it was the sherry version that won the award…..their 12 year old looks to be right up your alley - like snorting ashes while engulfed in a camp fire and licking your freshly tarred driveway.

Archetypally Islay, Big Peat 12 Years Old delivers charred oak, chimney smoke, rock pools and summer tar, running to a long lingering finish with brown sugar, bonfire ashes and a real phenolic quality. Proudly bottled at 46% ABV and offered without colouring or chill-filtration, it’s the ultimate distillation of Islay.
