The medic came in the office this morning
and said Philippine you have your annual Drug and Alcohol test today.
He could have let me prepare for it by raiding the Bosses safe, of the bottle of Vodka that is stashed there but no, I passed the test and have to come back next year

Vote up as I feel for youā¦ but you need enlightenment as that feeling of dread would never happen with a Single Malt advent calendarā¦ just the joy of discovery. Head over to the Malt thread, you would be welcome as we are needing to recruit - we look like Billy no mates over there

Only 6 to go. I donāt whether to be sad itās coming to and end or relieved itās almost over.
Anyway, in my glass we find a rumbullion navy strength, all 57% of it.
i enjoyed the normal rumbullion, and this one has all of the great liqueur flavours but with more alcohol heat. Lots of it. Great stuff, but pushed to choose a bottle to buy, it would have to be the regular version

Just opened a Appleton Estate 12 year old rare* blend.
First sip, itās ok but not for the same money as a El Dorado 12 year old. Iām getting a slightly burnt and harsh after taste, that leaves me wondering if it has been mixed with bourbon(doesnāt mention bourbon casks, just Oak). Itās confusing me, but not in a way that would make me consider it a good buy.
Anyone else tried it?
*nothing rare about it if i can buy it in tesco.
āRareā that someone actually buys it?

The after taste predicts it will be less than rare from here on in my house. Imagine expecting your 25 year old Laphroaig and getting teachers.
Ā£33 for a bottle thatās only fit for mixing. Iāve been done. Suppose i should have known better than expecting tesco to supply a good rum.

If the 25 Laphroig is like Teachers, i will be weeping for a long long time - I will report back after its opening on Christmas day

Rum No. 20 is El Dorado 1993 Enmore rare collection which is currently retailing at Ā£180 a bottle
Anyway it is fabulously rich, although at 56% had me running for the water. If this was normal strength, it would possibly be the best spirit I have ever drunk
