Earlier today while out and about town with Matt and a Scott who's visiting from Perth, we popped into Whisky & Alement, the whisky bar that I frequent for the last few drinks of the day. Went through this among the Port Charlotte Jurancon Cask by indie bottlers Rest & Be Thankful and the SMWS 119.14.

Amazing depth the SMWS G12.1 - essence of vanilla and banana with icing sugar overlaid. Amazing length to the finish.

I'm feeling better today,  Not as dark, tense, and angry as I have been the past several days. Today was better. Chores around the house, building a new humidor, repaired a door frame, and just being

A cold day here today, after a scorcher yesterday - so to warm up had a Peroni Red before dinner, followed by a Benromach 10, and then a Bunna 12.

Planning on pairing this with some Old Weller Antique 107 but it's such a fine smoke with rich chocolate, leather and sweet roasted nuts, I think I'll hold off the drink for the moment.

This is a marvellous smoke.

Is that the Whistlepig Boss Hog?

Yes it is. Grossly expensive but good stuff. Tasted the Old World side by side and enjoyed that more actually. I like the Sauternes finish and it's much much smoother. If only bottles were half the going rate.

Paid a visit to the local distillery to pick-up a couple of bottles of limited release bottlings and enjoyed some more lovely limited release Melbourne brews.

Also an "experimental" that is yet to be released - taken straight from the cask.

Pure PX-Cask goodness, a full blown dessert with every sip.

After a long day of slog with the garden planting tomatoes, cucumbers, chilli and eggplant, I am settling down after dinner to a Tierra Volcan Fino courtesy of Matt @Tan18_01 and some Redbreast 12 Year Old Irish whiskey.

Quite enjoyable despite the nasal spice. Certainly a well balanced profile that has that Nicaraguan twang of zest and cedar.

Thanks for this Matt, really enjoying this one.
