What's in your glass and what's in your pipe?

[ForresterModern]

Haven't smoked anything legal since about age 17, or anything illegal since about age 26, other than the occasional king salmon (legally caught, of course, the right way, on a 9 wt fly rod).

My glass has a large variety of options to choose from (single malt collector here) including my favorites Tobermory, Auchentoshan, Aberlour sherry cask strength, Abunadh, and Caol Ila (scots, please pardon the spelling). But the others are not neglected either as I do like to exercise both my options and my drinking arm.

In my glass is Talisker 12 year amoroso double-matured malt. Then I migh thave a dram of HP-12.

As much as I like Islays, if I could only have one Scotch (thank dog I don't have to) it would be HP-12. Scores around 90 in the book.

I'll probably have to second the Hiland Park vote. I just bought a bottle this afternoon--came with a small shot-sized bottle of the 18--and I have to say that for the price it's almost impossible to beat. Nice and peaty, but very refined. . . or something.

My local store has the best selection of whisky I've ever seen. I was really drooling over the Glenmorangie Elegance in that really nice decanter, but it was $229, and I wasn't feeling that flush. Take a look at it here: http://www.internetwines.com/rws24846.html

I was enjoying a pipe of Mariners Blend just this afternoon.

Only water in my glass at the time. Just enjoying the sun while my wee one slept.

In my bowl- MacBaren's PlumCake, Davidoff's Scottish Mixture, Cornell & Diehl's Blockade Runner, and 2 blends from my local tobacco shop- Somerset, and Whiskey Cavendish

In my glass- Currently enjoying Glenlivet French Oak Reserve. Im rather fond of The Glenlivet and The Macallan, so I tend to keep at least one variety of each on hand if my finances (and my wife) will allow it.

For some reason, pipe tobacco and Scotch whisky don't go together well. I tend to prefer a wine, port, beer or water better. I have Mac Baren Plumcake and Scottish Blend as well, like them both- SB a little better. For me the whisky drinking is best alone or with some nice dark chocolate.

I'm currently keen on Dark Fragrant from Rattray's and Full Virginia Flake by Sam Gawith. Balkan Supreme from Peter Stokkebye is a new find. I never had a chance to try Balkan Sobranie, but Balkan Supreme is a very enjoyable smoke and somewhat like it, based on others' reviews.

I'm pretty much a bourbon guy, being from the South and all, although I like to drink Scotch in the winter.

Cordially,

David

Do you purchase your tobacco online? or from a local shoppe? Or both?
