Out with the old, in with the new


Quite some time ago, a special friend turned me onto a glass (neat) of an excellent scotch called Aberlour. By nature I'm a bit of a cheap swill but she splurged on me and got me the best 18 year old the bar had. It was excellent (as was the company), and ever since I've kept my eyes peeled for it at the local Binny's Beverage Depot. Lo and behold, as I shopped forlornly after Balvenie left me, there it was on the middle shelf. I snagged a bottle of the 16 year old (the best vintage they had) and I've been enjoying the double-casked single malt this past week.
