The Latest from the Drunken Duck

As of 11/23/13 this
is the current status of my whisky assortment.  I haven't posted much lately and this is my second try today as the blog site is acting up.  So this will be short.  I just got Hankey Bannister, Glen Ness, McClelland (Highland version) and Glen Kirk 8 a couple of days ago.  I also restocked the Edradour and the "Brookladdie" Rocks.  Both were excellent and I received them as an early Christmas present.  I have been enjoying a dram just before dark out on the deck and now have found my old straight grained pipe and bought some Hobbit Weed from a supplier out in Colorado. It is a decent pipe tobacco and I also got some single malt pipe tobacco which I hope to try tonight.  I enjoyed the Hankey Bannister last evening and it was very nice.  I am on a quest right now to find really good scotch that doesn't cost that much.  The McClelland -Highland tastes as good to me as many a 70-80 $ a bottle scotches and the Hankey Bannister (under 20$) is as good as many higher priced blends I have tried.  So the moral is that the price really doesn't matter as long as you enjoy the taste of the product. Happy Holidays to all.
