Yep, Highland Park = single malt. I'm not saying it's the best thing they've ever made, but it's a decent drop when you're feeling thirsty.
In my case, a good decanter-filler (though sadly not for long...)-

Sound like it's very easily drinkable for a 10yr old for around a $70 mark, otherwise, I wouldn't go near the bloody bottleYep, Highland Park = single malt. I'm not saying it's the best thing they've ever made, but it's a decent drop when you're feeling thirsty.
It's actually getting to be fairly unusual these days for a distillery to put an age statement on a bottle in that price bracket...
Ooh a proper looking IPA, not a hoppy lager for a change.With the warmer weather beginning to finally happen here in the boonies of TAS, I've been venturing away from my homebrews and getting into some of the other locals. Tonight it's Seven Sheds Brewery's SIPA:

Honestly?
I've no idea if help is possible.
Would sell the rest of the alcohol collection or some spoilers before vintage Polsilvers tbh.
For me at least, they just work in whatever razor I insert them into.
Thanks for at least asking.

Cooking up Christmas Eve dinner on the BBQ just wouldn’t be the same without a cold beer in hand
Hope you’re all enjoying a nice pre Christmas dinner with your beverage of choice.
Are you cooking beer pork rissoles on the barbecue?

Correct on the pork balls - no beer in the mix though. More Vietnamese style. Serve with vermicelli, coriander, chilli and sugar snap peas.
Early evening whisky on the verandah. Easy to forget the rest of the world exists.
Caol Ila is one of my favourite Islay malts, (which means it's one of my favourite malts, period) and is one example where IMO it doesn't really pay to go for the much more expensive 18YO-plus expressions. This 12YO is a delightfully fresh, citrusy expression with seaweed, salty air and of course lots of peaty smoke.
Some distilleries waste a lot of resources on pissing competitions pushing the phenol (peat) content to the limits of drinkability (Bruichladdich Octomore and Ardbeg Supernova come to mind), but Caol Ila is all elegance and taste without even bothering with a fancy label.

I always used to say that if I were ever to sail off into my Nembutal sunset, this would be what I would wash it down with. Now I'm not so sure. This is a whisky to live for.

Kilchoman
With an honourable mention to the following. I do own bottles of the following as well as a few Ardbeg.

Looks like you're not such a fan of the high phenol content for which Islay is best known. Which is cool, of course, nobody wants the Speyside/Highlands distilleries to go broke. Sometimes a few of the Islay distilleries carry the peat to silly extremes (Ardbog Supernova and Bruichladdich Octomore come to mind) with pissing competitions to see who can produce the most undrinkable malt.

Nah, I like me some peat, I have Octomores from 4 releases and one of my favourite whiskies was the Octomore Event Horizon from Feis Ile 2919. Also some of the Port Charlottes absolutely magic. Aged Froig rocks too but the price makes the eyes water. Well that can be said for a lot of whisky now. Luckily I go to tastings to make up for my small amount of consumption otherwise I’d never get to try much at all.
