Wed May 16 09:14:05 EDT 2018 Slept from eleven to six-thirty without waking. High of seventy-seven and sunny today. Work: - Prep for RealPage meeting Done. - RealPage kick-off meeting @ 2 PM Done. Twenty-five minute walk at lunch. Warm, but with a cool breeze. Many of the flowing shrubs and little trees have already started dropping their blooms. https://google.github.io/styleguide/shell.xml Home: - D&D stuff A bit. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17072806 > Laphroiag Quarter Cask was the first "proper" whisky I bought. You can imagine my disappointment over the following months as I was trying to find one that would be even more distinctive... nothing came even close. Though Caol Ila was a nice find for when I'm in the mood for something a bit lighter. > I have two Bunnahabhain SMWS bottlings (10.97 "Ch-ch-ch-Changes" and 10.100 "Pirate Ships are Burning") that both give QC a run for its money, and 10.100 handily surpasses it in my opinion. Strongly peated, 9 years old, cask strength (~63% ABV), unchillfiltered, natural color. Really distinctive, takes a bit of a run-up and will certainly put hair on your chest. No other whisky I've tasted has come close to being as ferocious an experience as those. > I can highly recommend becoming a member of SMWS, if they're in your area. They have some extremely interesting bottlings, and everything is presented in natural style, cask strength. https://www.smwsa.com/ Have I tried Talisker 10? **Talisker Storm**? https://whiskeysmiths.com/2016/12/07/smoke-vs-peat/ http://whiskyadvocate.com/yes-thats-smoke-in-your-american-whiskey/ Corsair Triple Smoke or Corsair Oak Smoked Wheat Whiskey or Balcones Brimstone?
