Glenvinchie

So, I've nearly finished my bottle of Laphroaig Original Cask Strength and to avoid finishing said bottle, I've returend to the bottle of Glenkinchie as it is the most full bottle of scotch I have. You see, I didn't particularly like the Glenkinchie after I bought it. I found its light character and general dryness to be rather inspid.

Now as I swig Glenkinchie from the bottle*, I'm actually enjoying it because of its lightness and dryness... its in such juxtaposition to the ominipotent Laphroaig** which I've been scoffing lately.

But the real question is, do I order another bottle of the Original Cask Strength (which you have to get shipped from the distillery) or do I use said money to try something else - like an 18 yo Glenlivet (& if they have one - in a french oak finish) or a Laugvaulin...

Do I go with what I love or do I expand into new lands?

I'm thinking that it depends on the continued availability of the Original Cask Strength. If its going to be around a while, then I should get something a little rarer and new.***

Yes, this is how I spend my tuesday night...

(Until the drop ins arrived. hi drop ins!)

... and, as David said:

"If this is the most significant question you're asking, then you must be doing pretty well".

Eh.

* Its Valentine's Day, so I'm allowed such secret acts of melodrama.

** The Original Cask Strength Laphroaig is *so* pungent and strong, they recommend drinking it with 2 parts water... which is so uncharacteristically Laphroaig... personally, I just make it equal parts water and Laproaig... but that's me.

*** I still haven't found another bottle of the Macallan 12 yo (Sherry Oak), although I haven't hunted for one per se. I should buy another one of them if I can find it... so cognacy.
