Then I discovered I had a bottle of the K&L Sovereign 36 year Port Dundas sitting in a storage box.... Some days I hate Driscoll or rather my wallet hates Driscoll. At least I've got two examples of old and older single grain whisky.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-10461904016382103032015-04-17T14:09:44.445-04:002015-04-17T14:09:44.445-04:00Thanks Eric!

Also, she is quite interested in the little sample bottles so I usually keep them far from her little fingers.<br /><br />Competent is a good word for Girvan. I'd try the official 25yo if the price wasn't so damned silly.Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-67084545060829576252015-04-16T17:09:00.699-04:002015-04-16T17:09:00.699-04:00Good thing your little critter is more interested ...Good thing your little critter is more interested in the camera! Is she walking yet?<br /><br />I feel Girvan is a very competent single grain. The 20 year old I had was a vanilla and oak monster but not very complex. Which isn't a bad thing because it was quite enjoyable.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13215982348779717643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-65865329820059816622015-04-02T01:12:21.066-04:002015-04-02T01:12:21.066-04:00This is true, he responds one week later...This is true, he responds one week later...Diving for Pearlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02373371259792882112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-20216449020317083282015-03-25T17:27:25.315-04:002015-03-25T17:27:25.315-04:00Rather, bottles for babies, bottle(s) for daddy.Rather, bottles for babies, bottle(s) for daddy.Joshua Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803870395593634466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3101162324715983722.post-38503226952532554462015-03-25T17:25:22.524-04:002015-03-25T17:25:22.524-04:00Yes.
