<\/a>750mL Bottle of Caol Ila 12 Year<\/u>
(Click for bigger<\/a>…)<\/center><\/p>\n

Out of a desire to try something new, on suggestion<\/a> of , and after reading a bit about it online, I decided to pick up a bottle of Caol Ila 12 Year<\/a>. This was purchased, along with the aforementioned dinner<\/a> at Nino Salvaggio<\/a> located in Clinton Township, MI on M-59<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thankfully the price was the state minimum of $47.92<\/a>, which made it reasonably affordable. It’s still not cheap, but it’s right around what my other choice, Laphroaig 10 Year would have cost<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I tried a few sips of it straight, before cutting it with about 40% bottled water. (Just Aquafina<\/a>, PepsiCo<\/a>‘s finest highly filtered tapwater product. I find it good for mixing things because it has a nice, neutral taste.) I’m thinking that I rather like it. It’s plenty peaty and smokey, but it’s also got a little bit of sweetness to it. There is not enough sweetness to make it something I dislike, though, more like just enough to nicely round it out.<\/p>\n

I’m wishing that I had one of the Millett Hybrid Maxed<\/a> headphone amps to use (my two are disassembled currently) so I could sit back on the couch and listen to some music while sipping this in the dark. It’s quite nice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
