It’s been a while since I last blogged here, time to get going again. Life and work got in the way of blogging, luckily a good part of the life were two Islay visits. As I’m writing this from England I’m currently enjoying the late August bank holiday, perfect time for a nice Islay dram:

Not entirely sure when I picked this one up, if it was during one of this year’s visits or earlier. As the label indicates it was distilled in 2010 and the back label states it was matured for 13 years in Bourbon cask 3170, so maybe I got it a year or two ago?
Either way, what matters is that it tastes good, and that it certainly does. I enjoyed 3 drams of it this evening with some nice juicy raspberries and later some 85% dark chocolate. Doesn’t get any better as far as I’m concerned.
