I made an impulse buy at the local liquor store -- Johnny Walker Double Black Label - a blend made by "adding heavily peated malts and some aged in deeply charred oak casks" to the basic Black Label blend - creating a highly smoky taste -- according to what I could find online. Black Label was created to mix with soda, so I'm anticipating a very smooth, smoky, peaty taste profile.
I used to enjoy Green Label, which blended four malts "drawn from the four corners of Scotland —the intent of the blend is to deliver depth, substance, and intensity (Talisker, Linkwood, Cragganmore, and Caol Ila)" - but it apparently is no longer exported. I'll report back after I've quaffed a dram, or two .... ![]() |

Who can be so lucky as to have a wife who, with one day to spend sightseeing in Shanghai because of a flight delay, comes back with 100g of Keemun tea from a little tea shop she happened to pass by!
A very drinkable tea! Stitchawl |

Ah, a lucky man indeed. My felicitations!
Finishing my glass of fresh squeezed orange juice, and about to brew a pot of tea. I think I'll make it a pot of Keemun, in solidarity. ![]() |

Right now my mug holds only the fond memory of my first tea.
But there's another mug waiting on the kitchen counter, just a little too hot to sip. |

![]() I think about you day and night, it's only right To think about the girl you love and hold her tight So happy together If I should call you up, invest a dime And you say you belong to me and ease my mind Imagine how the world could be, so very fine So happy together I can't see me lovin' nobody but you For all my life When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue For all my life ![]() ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ReJggY7bWc ) I like having my wife home again! I'd be happy even if she didn't bring back five different replacement tins of tea as well as the new one from China. On the other hand, that really does add to the mix! ![]() This morning I'm drinking East India Company's "Assam" tea, fresh from the new tin. I ran out of this about a week or two ago, and it's nice to have it back! I'm going to have to send her back to Japan more often I guess! Stitchawl |

That would be whisky, not whiskey, pooh. And I rather doubt anyone is using Talisker for it.
I, OTOH, am having a very nice Talisker Storm this evening. |

Yeah, I know, it was fairly disturbing not to mention jaw dropping
