I can't imagine much else standing to attention in Derek's kitchen tonight.

Oops. We deviated and are drinking two sgroppini while we let our Ni97 mellow in the glass. It's the end of the year after all.

I found the antidote to my Batailley crisis:

1 x Moet & Chandon
1 x Talisker
1 x Lagavulin

"1" = A New Year Standard Measure

Morning all, and happy new year :)
Seen in with a bottle of Calem '85 and Laphroaig quarter cask, amongst other things.

Sadly, I have been "advised" by SWMBO that I should give up alcohol for January - although I will be allowed dispensation for one or two port evenings during the month. This means traffic from me will be of a yearning nature over the next 4 weeks. But it should give me chance to update the offline summaries.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
