Don’t let H confuse you… I am an angel - I’m fucking lovely. But I also have my vices. Whisky, Red Wine, Rum, Brandy … ok, anything with an alcohol content of over 5%.
I have recently started a single malt whisky/whiskey collection. My favorite whiskies are from the Islay region in Scotland. I adore the mouth blasting, peaty, smokiness that you get from some of these whiskies.
One of my absolute favourites is Ardbeg. They call it the Ultimate Islay Single Malt on the bottle, and I tend to agree. It’s a ten year old single malt that blows your mind like a 21 year old blond. The distillery lies on the southernmost point of Islay close to the Lugavulin and Laphroaig Distilleries (2 of my other favourites). The peat hits you first, and then you get creamy cappuccino, toffee, buttermilk and ripe bananas. The finish goes on forever, coating your mouth with flavours of espresso, almonds and aniseed.
So, as tonight is mystery basket night, I think I will pour myself a nice Ardbeg while I ponder what to make. I might have 2!
