I had a few Haig 15yo last month and quite frankly it was very good. You don't see it very often but if you do give it a try.

I think Christopher Hitchens' reasons for drinking Black were good. 1) consistently great 2) can be had at nearly every bar or hotel in the world.

JW Gold always seems to satisfy me... Nice balanced combination of freshness and maturity.

Willie, if you run out of CS25 before you swing by Nick's place by all means open my bottle.
