drinking scotch like a man

Uigeadail is my favorite Islay scotch!

i somehow caught the bug from friends and also while in berlin winter a few years back we found a scotch whiskey library that really make me addicted.

when i was beginning with whiskey i went for the distinctive flavoured whiskeys - super peaty like laphroaig (though now i know this is pretty mild in comparison to some out there), fruity like lagavulin, and also i mostly stuck to the big names. when we were visiting the scotch whiskey library it was fun as we would do a geographical journey of whiskeys and I learnt that there are so many out there that are awesome and when i went back to my old favourites i found them a bit too much.

these days i really enjoy some local tasmanian whiskeys like nant and lark. though my favourite on my shelf is macallan (estate reserve)

we have some crazy whisky bars in melbourne now. i get lost in the selection. a blessing and a curse.
