The Org Bar, Pull up a chair and share. What're you drinking?

Deanston 12 smells woody and makes me think of pine, I'm pretty sure no casks are pine but still... It made me think of it.
Strange how the olfactory organs evoke such strong memory recall (rightly or wrongly) maybe it's easier "data" to store with the memory, more unique than the stream of optical info we take in all the time....
Wait, I think I might've hit the tipsy mark

Almost a dryness/bitterness to the taste. Peaty but pretty rich. Tastes like it should be darker in colour. Not bad though, if drink again if I saw it somewhere.

Last one for tonight and by my count I've hit 10, Stronachie 12. Smells oaky, tastes OK but nothing stand out. Pretty mellow and easy to drink though which is often the sign of a good one. (In my limited experience)

Alright, I'm gonna shut up again for a while now. Have a good one everyone!

Curses, my plan for pancake breakfast was foiled, no eggs
Didn't have any bread for Sausages, beans and scrambled eggs (still no eggs) on toast so I ended up with.... Chips and mushy peas (go figure!) I was starving
And here I am in work and already slightly bored

Beronia Crianza. If you like red wine try this one.

Moving on to St Mungo next.

About to get on the outside of several Lambs and cokes. Cannot be bothered to fish anything more fancy out of the cupboard but to liven it up I can see the Ribena is at the front of the bottom shelf right next to the rum so I might sweeten things up a bit and coat my teeth in a dentist's nightmare. Classy.

Rum & black yuuuck

Ok, if we're mixing Ribena drinks tonight, here's my non alchofrolic tipple tonight.

Very nice it is too

Hmm strawberries and cream (soda) sounds pretty nice. I liked the orange and cream soda from American soda, might have to try cream soda and Cointreau sometime.

Just pepsi max for me, back from cycling my lap, beat my record and de-stressed from work

OK I lied, I got to bed and saw the two Glenfarclas ones that I didn't get round to. Had the 10 year normal one and refreshed my memory of it, fruity and pleasantly warm.
The 105 cask strength (60%) is ace, smallest taste neat and wow 😳 it's not as harsh as you'd imagine that concentration to be. Diluted to taste it is rich and has such an initial taste then tails off. Smooth and sweet. Perhaps nicer than the 10 year but I'd likely pick the 10 year again as it is such value for money and suits my taste well.

Really pleased to have tried the 105 though as I'd wondered about it.

Had a couple of nice ales from Ringwood Brewery last night, Forty Niner and Boon Doggle. Lovely stuff!
