Don't knock it until you try it. The tonic takes a bit of the bold smoke taste out of the whisky. Not a lot, but some.

It was a gift.

I like it as is, but yesterday I thought I'd try cutting it a bit with tonic and it was :notbad: IMO.

I do the same with bourbon from time to time. A splash of carbonated mineral water opens things up a bit and mellows some of the dominate flavors.

I don't know why, but I really love this stuff. Maybe because I have to be on the other side of the country to get it? Also, it is smoother than the black label.

1 Liter, meet 1.75 Liter.

Jameson Caskmate, double finger with a cube of ice to take the edge off. It's pretty darn good for how much it costs!

Tomorrow I'm going to Reno and the internet tells me that there's a store there with a bottle of Macallan 25 and it is calling my name.

I might just lay down the $1700 for it.

Scored tonight in Reno. Wife thinks I am insane. Might not open the Reflexion though, I believe it will increase in value over time.ImageImageImageImageImage
