Finished my trusty bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan.

I currently have no bottles with peat. I'm going to miss it.

I am finishing a bottle of The Macallan CS. Another sherry bomb to wich I have to say goodbye. Which also mean it is time to open a new one to cherish. Cheers!

Last one I finished was a GlenDronach 12, which I wasn't sold on at first, but through hard work, dedication, and persistence, came to enjoy enough. With some of my favorite bottles, it's harder to actually finish because I don't want to not have it anymore.

If only there was an unlimited supply of this now-discontinued expression to replace each bottle that U.S. finished....

Last bottle finished was my glenmorangie lasanta. The whisky that really opened my eyes to different finishes and bottlings at higher ABV.

Just finished my last drams of JW Blue a couple of nights ago. It's probably one of those bottles I'll never replace, because...well, it's JW Blue, after all. Yet somehow, those last couple of drams tasted especially good. Probably because I knew it was the end of my supply of Blue. Subjectively: Such age! Such finesse! Objectively: How bland! How overpriced!

Last 10-15 cc of my mini of Bladnoch 9 year old lightly peated 46%. I was planning to write a review, but looks like I already did.

I have 1 or 2 more sealed minis of this expression, and they will be for saving until ready to share with someone who specifically wants to try it.

W L Weller 12 YO - The power of suggestion is strong in this one; I couldn't get past the second sip without cracking open a tin of Poppycock (R) Incredibly satisfying 'wheater'.

The last couple of fingers of Talisker 57 and at the most unusual time of 2.30 a.m. Sometimes, when the Sciatica bites (an old spinal injury, exacerbated by an encroaching scoliosis) this is a pain killer like none other; the pain simply melts away but, it is, alas, not part of any medical benefits fund.

Cheers.

@Pudge72 How is your team doing - my team went down the tubes quickly...

Not a whiskey but the question does not specify (although grammatical logicians would say it is inferred) - Boomsma Young Genever Gin. I do my Gin on the rocks w a twist of lime - not as strong a taste as the Ungava, 209, 1 and 6 or the Sipsmith but a decent enough finish that makes it better than your typical gins

My last few; Macallan 15 Year Fine Oak; good enough but quite overpriced for what you get. I have cached an unopened Sherry Cask, but apart from that I think I'm done with Macallan. Ardbeg Uigedail; I was sad to see this go, but this weekend's 10% off SAQ sale allowed me to rectify the situation. One of the best I've had. Glen Breton 10; gotta be honest, I powered this one away to free up shelf space for something more deserving. I am done with them I think.

Just taking our the recycling. This weekend saw the end of another Abunadh, another Talisker Storm, HP Freya, and a sample bottle of some old Balvenie.

Kilchoman Loch Gorm and Laphroaig PX... The Islay peat/Sherry combination really does it for me and these were not easy to get (for a decent price) so I'll be missing them dearly ;(

Jefferson's Reserve Very Old, Batch 197. Carmel nose reminiscent of a wheated bourbon - on the palate floral, peppery, and dusty much like an old rye and a long warm, dry finish that smacks of oak.

Magnificent!

@paddockjudge is that the same Jeffeson's reserve that passed through my home a few months ago?

@Nozinan, Your heroic efforts as a whiskey operative, successfully rescuing scarce expressions from KGBO installations, is nothing short of heroic. Those particular JR bottles are safely nestled amongst other American Whiskey expressions. This was the last of a previously retrieved government captive.

It appears the Bourbon bug has bitten you; I see you have rescued the colonel.

@JayRain...sorry for such a late reply to your hockey draft question...are you my twin in a parallel dimension? :) My team faded real quick, and all my roster purging has accomplished has been to keep pace with the leader, but not to make up any ground.

Last dram of my first bottle of Booker's Bourbon.

This was my first bottle purchased after tasting Basil Hayden in New York in October 2012. Lasted me just over a year.

I probably had a dram or two of this elixir while creating my 2014 family calendar, and now it is helping me to complete the 2015 version.

I have no idea if this was an exceptional batch (the one reviewed in my profile), but I do have its twin socked away. The next bourbon I open will likely be a different one, and the next Booker's will be a from a different batch.

Just poured the remainder of a bottle of Rowan's Creek that has been hanging around for a long while at my home bar. At first, I wasn't a fan but, over time, it has evolved in the bottle and has earned my respect.

@Nozinan I don't believe I am about to say what I am about to say, but if your looking for a different bourbon that will entertain you, you should look for the latest Jack Daniel's Single Barrell. It was quite a pleasant surprise. Of course, you will probably not get the same barrell but I read that quality is rising for all Jack Daniel's line lately. This is just an unexpected suggestion... Cheers

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have no plans to make any bourbon purchases unless a miracle occurs and I get my hands on a Weller or Stagg.

A friend was in the states and was going to look for old grand-dad 114, but I haven't heard if he was successful.

I currently have a 4 Roses, Col. E/H Taylor, and another Booker's on the waiting list for opening. And I still have most of a bottle of Knob Creek Single Barrel open.

And I plan to spend a lot less on whisky in the coming year.

@Nozinan...with respect to OGD 114...if your friend is unsuccessful AND you find yourself going to the Buffalo area, I would strongly recommend paying a visit to one of the Premier Liquors and Wine locations (www.premierwines.com). OGD 114 is there for around $30. A very worthwhile purchase.

OGD 114 can be had around these parts for $25 and at that price, it absolutely annihilates it's competition.
