Recently discovered Yamazaki 10 year old Single Malt.



Really impressive, especially for a 'young' single malt. Can't wait to try a 12 or 18 year old as the slightly artificial fruitiness of the 10 y.o. (or so some experts think) is much more tempered in the older ones.

I've also just bought a bottle of Ledaig as a replacement to mix with ginger ale, instead of my usual bottle of Whyte & Mackays blended. I know it's a bit sacrilegious to use a single malt as a mixer, even a cheap one, but the strong smokey, peat taste cuts through the ginger and really compliments it.

It's not quite as overpowering as the similar Laphroaig but still has that distinctive love or hate it smokey aftertaste.

Bought my sister this for her Birthday. Brecon Five Vodka, from the Penderyn Distillery.

She's yet to open it, but I've heard good things and will be trying it.

And this is what I currently drink. (not my picture, but illustrates well!)

Stopped by World Of Beer tonight.

It was really nice but totally swamped with people. We went to our favorite german place and I drank a liter of Kostritzer, so we just stopped by to check it out. I had to rush home as soon as we got there because I had to explode. It's not very nice when you have to have lunch with someone and they're 2 hours late, and then the person you're supposed to meet for dinner wants to eat early. I can't mix all that beer and all that food.
