Sherry or bourbon? That is the question. 

Whether 'tis nobler in bourbon to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune

Or to take arms against the casks of sherry

And by opposing end them. To die, to sleep. 

Samaroli tasting: Allt-a-Bhainne 1995, Braeval 1994, Glenburgie 1995, Mortlach 1997, Bunnahabhain 1988 and Bunnahabhain 1989

These were mainly Coilltean releases, though in any case Samaroli bottles are worth trying. 

Small session of samples: Glendronach CS batch #4 54.7%, Invergordon 46 yo 1966/2012 DR 51.9%, Bunnahabnain 11 yo PX finish distillery only 54.6% and Bunnahabhain 11 yo Rubha A' Mhail 57.4%

That would be random selection of samples I've tried recently. Just to dot the i's.

Two samples dating back to this summer.
